Alex Arthur vs Nicky Cook world championship boxing

Well is big fight night. Alex Arthur is defending his title against Nicky cook. Last time Cookie had a shot at the title he got knocked down 5 times and was clearly fighting above his league against Steve Luevano. Whilst admitting Cookie is not a bad fighter domestically, it’s clear to be seen that domestic and world boxing is two different levels. Arthur IMO is not a world class boxer himself but nevertheless he is still one level up from Nicky Cook. There is nothing cook can do that Arthur cannot do better. A lot of experts are predicting Arthur to stop cook in late or middle rds and I can’t disagree with them. Known that this is a world title fight, one thing we can be certain of is an all out brawl and a lot of blood will be promised.
Cook cuts pretty easily and doesn’t take body shots too well. If he tries to keep his distance then he will just get picked off but Arthur is a body puncher, so if cook gets too close he will be bombarded with all sorts of combos and body shots.
Cook is also stepping up in weight to fight Arthur whom is fighting at his natural weight and with height, reach and weight advantage over cook I really cannot see this fight going the distance. When you got a British title on the line between two domestic fighters, 8 out of 10 times it will end within the distance. And I just can’t see Arthur getting stopped in his defence. Even money for a stoppage is excellent value at what is an 80% certainty.

Lost arthur lost by decision but i have no doubt he through this fight. I have no repect for fighters like him and quite disgusted. If you had seen this fight you will know what I mean.
