Well, Gomez will want the fight, it should be a nice payday for him and if he loses then hopefully he doesn't get too badly battered and can retire with a bit of money tucked away.

billy graham is a good trainer of attacking fighters,but all of his fighters seem to fight the same way-coming forward looking to throw left hooks/uppercuts,not many right hands or much variation.makes for good tv,exciting fights but makes every fight a war-hatton,gomez,macklin,smith,even steven bell,a pure boxer,seems to be in a lot of wars lately

Gomez looked dreadful. Really bad. It saddens me to say that I think Arthur would beat him now. But I don't know for sure because Gomez would be SO pumped for that fight. And it would probably be in Scotland again so Arthur would have to box perfectly and not fight with Gomez like last time. Saying that, I would back Arthur with a bit of confidence.

Does anyone see Arthur fighting Alvarez for the WBU title? Gomez would definately fight him then. Would Arthur beat Alvarez though? I don't know.

I thought Alvarez looked pretty handy.

alvarez has already shown the level he is at, the B level just short of world class. The type of guy used for a comfortable voluntary defence by p4p stars.

this however is still waaay ahead of gomez, arthur and co's level. Alvarez beats arthur and docherty comfortably.

Says a lot about the SN/Sky hype machine that goes on some of their fighters. Farnell was the worst.

What was the crowd like, I love that old trick of darking the surroundings to hide the lack of a crowd.
