Despite all his pre-fight bravado, Argentina's Nazareno Ruiz was barely in the argument tonight in Edinburgh Scotland as native son 'Amazing' Alex Arthur scored his nineteenth win against a single loss with a widely scored unanimous decision.

Gomez is currently the WBU super featherweight champion of the world. Arthur also retained his IBF super featherweight title with the victory.
