@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.
@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
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.
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
just met arthur in edinburgh, top guy.

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.
