After Arthur's victory yesterday, allegedly said he would like to make a match-up between Harrison & Arthur in the future! If the match does happen, who do you think would win and how would the fight pan-out etc?
For the record, I believe Arthur has matured and is improving with each bout. He is more patient and a lot calmer, not getting involved in brwling too much.
Harrison has just beaten Broadie in impressive fashion - the body work was the key! Both fighters should be really confident going into a bout against each other.
I feel Arthur has much better boxing skills, and he will have height and reach advantages. I reckon Scott's best chance of winning would be early in the fight. The longer the fight goes, the more chance Arthur has of out-boxing Harrision.
What do you guys think?
Alex Arthur vs Scott Harrison @ 130lbs?

This fight wont happen, and if it does its a good few years away. Warren has 2 high profile Scottish fighters he wants to drum up support for. Last nights fight at Meadowbank was afar from a sell out and the last Harrison fight likewise.
Both fighters at this time are heading in 2 different directions. Harrison looking to go to the US to get a real footing on the featherwieght scene over there for some big money bouts and Arthur looking to dominate at Feather.
Both fighters careers are if you like, on the up. And theres no way he would risk the plans by putting them together next year. One of them loses then what? People were sounding the death march for Arthurs career when Gomez beat him. What would he have left if he fought Harrison and lost?
Who would go where? Would Harrison bulk up to superfeather and loose the heavy hitting that makes him a (limited?) force at feather or would Arthur try and squeeze down to feather.
Until each fighter has nowhere left to go this isnt going to happen. If Harrison fails in the US and Arthur is found out at a decent world level, then it may be made. But not before and certainly not next year
Nah its paper talk to fill the colums to publicise Warrens new deal with ITV. To drum up the rest of his fighters and to try and boost the flagging ticket sales for the crap shows he's putting on up here.
