He was knocked down Kilburn, beat the count but looked out of it so the ref waved it off.
Hope he's out of hospital now?

He can join Ricky in the pub now. No, seriously, I'm glad he's okay.

Watched the last several rounds and basically Arnie was getting outboxed and walking onto shots. However, there was a really nasty clash of heads during the last barrage that cut him and probably concussed him, coz he went down several shots later and was well out of it. Never been a fan of Arnie but I wish him well.

I think this is a good point. On such short notice, a 8/10 round non-title fight would have done the trick. It would have been a no-lose situation.

Bad promoting.

Could have ended up being stripped of his title, like Takaloo ( I know it's only WBU, but it means better paydays for the lad)

.......but he's lost it now anyway hasn't he, and perhaps his career along with it as well!!!. Seems like someone wasn't looking after him as well as they look after a certain Ricky Hatton eh!.... can't imagine him being pushed into a title bout at one weeks notice!. Ricky was moaning about having only 5 weeks to prepare.... he should try not putting on 3 stone between fights!!!! 8) :lol: :TU:
