He's fought world class fighters (Cotto, Corrales, Mayweather) and has given a good account of himself.

Gomez's best opponents - Lear? Arthur? Bognar?

Christ on a bike.

Juuko's having to boil down from lightweight, but unless his skills have receded further than Brian Magee's hairline he should outclass the primitive advances of Gomez.

The Arthur victory, whilst exciting, will prove to be a smokescreen. Anyone with a decent dig was going to penetrate Alex's Ryan Rhodesian defence.

I know what you're saying, but Juuko's last fight came a year ago in Uganda, where he's been promoting his own shows. He's lost six of his last 12. He took bad beatings at the hands of Mayweather, Corrales and Cotto (indeed, Bob mee was flagging signs of physical deterioration in Juuko in his BN report of Mayweather-Juuko FIVE years ago; the IBF later refused to sanction Juuko's fight with Corrales for the IBF title and it went ahead as non-title).
All the signs suggest a shot fighter. I hope I'm wrong.
