Arthur will win and early i expect, you got your eye on the winner Dean?

Looking at Kizza's record he has only fought outside Africa once and I doubt he will take kindly to the raucous (to put it mildly) Edinburgh crowd. He also lacks height and reach compared to Arthur - though that didn't stop Gomez

This matchup seems to have been engineered to give Arthur a devastating victory with nice highlights we can watch on Ringside about how Arthur's 'back'. zzzzzzzzz please. I hope this African dude comes in throwing bombs from 10 seconds in, as this will be the only way to find out if Arthur has improved his defences. Though I imagine there will be lots of jabbing and sometimes flashy combo's, which we all know he can do already. Early stoppage for Arthur, round 4 at latest (though I never get predictions right :P )

Given Arthur's inability to block/dodge the left hook I can't imagine he would want any part of Dean after watching his triple left hooks against Hibbert, steve689

Not a great match at all. Kizza challenged for a pro title at bantamweight not so long ago, and is clearly an easing back type of opponent for the Scot. But I don't like seeing our boys fight mystery opposition like this. If they win in the first round, the opponent is slated. If they get involved in a hard fight, the home man is said to be slipping. Lose-lose.

i think Arthur will take a few easy fight this year, maybe to convince the public that there is a brand new better Arthur about. Arthur will go after the british title again, and if gomez gets beat again, Arthur vs Gomez 2 would happen
