Ruiz Threatens Arthur!

If the first round of a fight could be scored before a punch was thrown and the impact of the spoken word counted, then Argentina’s Nazareno Ruiz has taken the first round 10-8 over Scotsman Alex Arthur. The two fighters are due to battle in Edinburgh on the third of December, but Ruiz has not the patience to wait for that night to come, he’s started his verbal assault in anticipation. Ruiz has stated that, “beating Arthur up will be like carving a side of beef and I will enjoy doing it. Arthur has never faced a tough Argentinian or any Latino fighter before and it will be a painful experience for him. He got beat by a fighter claiming to be Hispanic (Michael Gomez) and now he will feel what it is like to fight a real one.” Strong words indeed. Arthur has looked a vastly improved prospect since his loss to Gomez and will likely heed these words as inspiration for a stunning rebuttal inside the ring. However, Ruiz is not worried, further stating, “I have not had the luxuries Arthur has had. He’s flashy and arrogant and I don’t like him and I can’t wait to beat him.” It looks like December in Scotland will be hotter than usual this year.
