5-3 Cook after 8.

[Abbo]

79-74

I have Cook comfortably winning this. Interesting aspect is that Arthur is already aware he needs to go-for-it. I think that means one thing, a stoppage.

[Evander]

Round 8

Cook boxing very well.
Cook using the ring and his timing is on song.
Cook's round clearly.

6-2 Cook

[Abbo]

89-83. Comparitively quiet round, but I'd say just Cooks.

[Evander]

Round 9

Cook slips on the canvas early.
Arthur is letting this fight slip away from him.
Slower round from both boxers,still Cook was the busier of the two.

7-2 Cook

[rmz]

6-3 Cook after 9 rounds. Arthur is doing nothing to catch up.

[stujones]

This is a good little fight..... but the thought of even a fading Barrera against these two is frightening.

This is good European title level.

[My T Sharp]

Bit of trivia but...

If Arthur loses this, will he be the only World Champion never to have won a World Championship fight???

I don't know :(

[Evander]

Round 10

As before Cook is busy,he is constantly popping out the jab while Arthur stands there.
Right hand for cook and a left hook to the body were the eyecatching punches of that round.
Again Cook's workrate is superior.

8-2 Cook

Ken Norton!!

[Mario]

6-4 Cook after 10.

Arthur needs at least 1 huge round to be in with a shout as far as im concerned. Cook still looking very sharp, no signs of slowing down.

[Abbo]

99-92 for me.

[rmz]

7-3 Cook after 10. I think Barerra could beat either of these guys fairly easily. Cook has impressed me though, he's a better fighter than I thought.

[My T Sharp]

Ken Norton!!

That was mighty sharp

just checked..your right 8)

[Abbo]

108-102

C'mon Nicky!

[Asterix]

108-102

C'mon Nicky!

[rmz]

7-4 Cook after 11 Rounds. Arthur needs to land a KO punch.

[Evander]

Round 11

Better round from Arthur,he pressed for most of the 3 minutes and shook Cook slightly.

8-3 Cook

[BAMBI]

Finished with a KISS..

[Grilling Machine]

118-114 to Cook. (Watching on a choppy stream.)

[rmz]

117-111 Cook on my card.

[Abbo]

It sounds mad, but I've got that 118-111 Cook

[Evander]

Round 12

Cook has a half decent left hook to the body at times.
Arthur misses wildly and falls into the ropes,which prompts Cook to unleash a tame volly of shots into Arthur's guard.

9-3 Cook


Decent fight

[Mario]

All over, almost certainly a big points win for Cook.

Arthur appears to know it too and doesn't seem too bothered

[Asterix]

112-117
111-117
114-115 all for Cook.
