Alex Arthur v Sergio Palomo - ITV 1, 11.05pm GMT

[superheavyrhun]

Evnin All,
Another night of British boxing brings us to Scotland, and to the headliner of the evening at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall.

We got Alex Arthur at 23-1, and a scottish favourite, with an undefeated streak since his solitary defeat in 2003 by TKO to Michael Gomez in 2003. Good to watch, should make for an exciting fight.
Sergio Palomo comes in with a record one better, at 24-0, but hasn't really fought anyone of note so far in his career, while Arthur has accumulated titles at every level from regional up to European.

If anyone's interested, I'll do an RBR, otherwise, it's just me, the TV and margaritas

[OumaFan]

I'd be interested if you wanna do it.

How good is Arthur, world class level? Only seen him once and it was early in his career against a guy that was overmatched.

Aye, I reckon Arthur might do reasonably well at a world level. There are a lot of big names out there in the Super Featherweight division for him, if Frank Warren can make it happen. At the end of the day, you've got to look at whether FW will be willing to let one of his moneyspinners take the risk of losing his sparkle against someone truly world class. He's come on loads in recent fights, and I could see him getting a World title, but FW won't want to lose his meal ticket.

Lol, aye Amir Khan is only making strides on his unbeaten record, instead of actually doing anything interesting. We're waiting on the ringwalk right now, and Jim Rosenthal is making his usual promo for the pre-fight films and features. Let's get it on already, i got a bath waiting before the PBF v Baldomir bout later on. And yes, I have Radox!

OK, his Palomo chappie not looking to nervous, though it seems he thought he was being sent to war in Iraq with the camo gear. The spanish army couldn't afford desert camo. Arthur is hurting my eyes with that white outfit.

A Scot, a Spaniard, and the ref has barely a grasp of wither language. Good start from Palomo. Good shots from angles. Arthur dodges, good right return. Palomo immediately looking to work the body. Good left hooks from Arthur. Palomo looking to come in, and get out quickly. Arthur establishing the jab. Good right uppercut from arthur. Lots of movement from Palomo. Good hooks out of the corner from Palomo. Left hook from Arthur, Palomo countrers. Great left hook drops Palomo, 8 count, and there goes the bell. Palomo stunned in the corner.
10-8 Arthur

Round 3:

I need to pee, so hopefully Arthur makes this a short one. Palomo seems to be running away, and Arthur is much the better fighter. Overhand right well from Arthur, replied by a right from Palomo. Wild left hook catches Arthur. Body shots in the clench from Arthur. Italian ref is splitting them over anything. Good right-left by Arthur. Palomo swinging, but hiutting gloves and arms. Good pair of left hooks from Arthur, to body then head.
