The announcers didn't have much faith in Arthur's ability to fight his way out of the third round. One of them was even calling on the ref to stop it, which is idiotic. He was in great physical condition and showed some mettle to come back like he did.
@Kedbuka to be fair i've seen fights stopped for less. He was getting the shit knocked out of him by a big puncher.
That 3rd round destoryed the FULL potential of Alex Arthur. He could have been brilliant. He was good, but could have been bigger. Was never the same after this
@oasis4ever92 It's impossible to say that the physical damage Arthur suffered in this loss prevented him from reaching his full potential. What's more likely is this knockout loss put a massive dent in his confidence and he didn't recover from it. He's a young man and young men with strong constitutions come back from losses like this...perhaps not Arthur though.
am a big alex arthur fan but i love this fight alexs defence was no exsistant bt was taking it well and if he had just boxed like roubd 2 he could have had him bt the fight got to him and he wasnt thinking clearly and fair play to gomez he really wanted it and i would have loved to c a rematch
michael gomez told everyone he'd do it. no one believed him except himself, and his team. even his fans had a few doubts. the man is a legend. all out entertainer
if arthur had boxed like he did in the 2nd round,using his jab to keep gomez at bay he could hav destroyed him but he is was in-experienced and got drwn into a war
gomez is 1 tough nugget far past his prime in this fight n still beat artur hu was at his best heere and floored amir khan while he was about 5 years past his best
khan is overratedlike fuck im so glad e gat beat up hahaha
Just goes to show how good a pressure fighter Gomez could e when he was "on". Arthur though ? Stiff as a board after getting rocked in the 1st round. Look how stiff his legs are from the 1st round on.A blessing in disguise that Guzman moved up in weight.Even moreso given the result against Cook this past weekend.
omg gomez is a fuckin donkey. alex arthur was shit agianst him look at him now 5yrs on hes a world champoin and look at Gomez a hasbeen trying to salavage is career only to be easily out punched and out pasced by amhir khan's lighning fast speed and agility
listen to the commentators...Gomez was past his best here already,Yet he destroyed Arthur and FIVE years after he was officially a shot fighter, he decks Khan and almost breaks his ribs... Real top quality that Amir,Ireland is so jealous...
just met arthur in edinburgh, top guy.

@Kedbuka oh he was able to rebuild physically, but mentally he never wanted to go to this place again. he wouldnt go to war after this.

This fight was allowed to continue for way too long. Not that I minded to much, it was a great fight and a great night for Gomez.

Even though he lost, the way Arthur boxed that second round was quality.
