Gomez turned down Arthur rematch

[RichDam]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there is a story about it in the Daily Record.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Both men appear to be past their best, but could be an exciting fight.

Reckon Gomez would take it if more money was put on the table.

Alright Einstein. Just summarising for people who couldn't be bothered to read the link.

Maybe you should save your rare brand of wit for a comedy forum.

anyone think gomez is using this as an excuse,and has botteld it.

[TommyV]

What's the point? Gomez is shot to pieces, he's frankly awful and Arthur is just as bad.

[trotter]

anyone think gomez is using this as an excuse,and has botteld it.

Highly unlikely, highly unlikely indeed

Given he kicked Arthur's arse hard when they fought

[kurt2006]

Who cares about Arsehole Alex Arthur. The guy is a bum and got exposed by Cook. Arthur can go play with himself as he has always been shit to watch and vastly over rated.

Im bang on with you there mate.

Gomez aint scared of a guy he SMOKED in 5 rounds already.

He turned the fight down because he is the attraction and 20k is FOOK ALL comapared to what fish eyes would cream off him.

At least 75k i reckon.

I'd pray for another Gomez victor, otherwise that big nose joker will spill his guts about 'sweet revenge' and all that when he lost their first fight when it truly mattered !!!!

[riggers]

Artur said 3 or 4 years ago he was not a vengeful person and a return meant nothing to him. He must finally fancy his chances after Gomez has slipped so far. It says an awful lot about AA that he wants a rematch now. It won't change the fact that Gomez mauled 'Not So' Amazing Alex Arthur in AAs prime.

[TommyV]

Gomez has gone downhill a long, long way since their fight cityofgod, and Arthur has improved.

Not much though, he still sucks.

[c woodhouse]

both not what they used to be think it would still be a ******* for a few rounds though

[nulty]

Gomez said on channel M not so long ago the he wanted to end his career with an arthur rematch at whatever weight arthur wanted and he didn't seem full of shit to me.

Gomez wants it but he won't be made a fool of over money. This a huge fight even now.

[brown bomber]

Gomez will take the fight if the monies right.

[Beeston Brawler]

I don't think Gomez is smart enough to be scared of anybody.

[brown bomber]

I don't think Gomez is smart enough to be scared of anybody.Gomez is much smarter then people think.:good

[Beeston Brawler]

All a big charade then......

[c woodhouse]

i think gomez wins again i agree with nulty still a really big fight now

[alba]

Gomez will take the fight if the monies right.

or he could be making more money by fighting another scottish super featherweight ?:hi:

[brown bomber]

All a big charade then......Perhaps you know him better then me? Or maybe i'm lying so that people won't think he's daft?:lol: Come on mate what have I got to gain by saying something thats not true?

[Beeston Brawler]

I wasn't questioning you....

He just doesn't come across as a particularly smart guy.

Touche!

[brown bomber]

I wasn't questioning you....

He just doesn't come across as a particularly smart guy.

Touche! Smart enough to negotiate his purses for his fights and smart enough to get this story in the Daily Record- last time I checked he doesn't have a press officer.

[c woodhouse]

ive met gomez hes not as daft as he might have you think if he does nogotiate his purses and handle all his press then he must have a bit upstairs one of my fav british fighters of all time more balls than camelot!

[Beeston Brawler]

Credit to him for doing it - I suppose he has been in the game long enough to know what he is worth.

[brown bomber]

ive met gomez hes not as daft as he might have you think if he does nogotiate his purses and handle all his press then he must have a bit upstairs one of my fav british fighters of all time more balls than camelot!Yep sawyou on the Hatton show on Nuts TV when Gomez was on... When you fihting next Mr Woodhouse?

[c woodhouse]

end of march in liverpool they tell me on ryan rhodes undercard think hes fighting anthony small

[brown bomber]

end of march in liverpool they tell me on ryan rhodes undercard think hes fighting anthony small R U still with Dave Coldwell- Very nice chap. Great trainer too by all accounts.

[c woodhouse]

yea still with dave hes top man knows his stuff got some really good kids at the gym at the min

[Bomber_uk]

I used to watch you down at Millmoor Curtis and always thought you would go on and do something in the game ?

In all fairness you seem to be taking to your new proffesion quite well mate :good and good luck to you. I saw you at the Metrodome in your second fight, we were there watching Andy Ward and Paul Royston on the same bill.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Who cares about Arsehole Alex Arthur. The guy is a bum and got exposed by Cook.

yeah, Arthur got exposed alright, exposed to 3 english judges & an english ref!
I still to this day dont know what Nicky Cook did to win that fight by a UD, all he did was run, & throw nothing punches, & wince badly everytime Arthur caught him with a big shot.
But stupid Arthur, he thought he could just box within himself & get a decision, not realising he was NEVER going to get a fair crack at the whip, & I still cant forgive him for being so naive that he thought he could turn up in England & be treated as an equal. What a bloody fool.

I remember shouting at the tv that night for Alex to finish Cook on the occasions he had him hurt, but Arthur was too busy fannying around posing, thinking he was picking up the rounds while of course the were going to the running wrinkly man Cook. What a stupid cunt Arthur was in that fight, Im still angry about how he thought he would get decision in England. Didnt he see Simpson v Dazzo Williams for fuck sake???

But hey, what do I know? All of a sudden Cook 'schooled him' even though I cant think of a big punch that awful fighter landed all night. I still maintain Cook is awful, & he will lose whenever he decides to fight again, maybe in 5 years time.
Terrible L for Arthur, but thats what he gets for thinking hes a brit, & we are all treated the same... As I say, Simpson v Derry Matthews or Simpson v Dazzo Williams... If Arthur had me in his corner that night he would have known what he was up against. he didnt though, & now hes got an undeserved L to the guy who got beasted by a bum like Luaveno...

Weight drained imo is why he has looked crap against Foster & Cook, he is better than both of them but looked sluggish.

[kurt2006]

Cook gave him a boxing lesson far worse than what MAB did to Naz. He always looks sluggish to me. Watch the Burns fight and see how easily Burns was catching him. If Burns had a big shot in his arsenal he would have ko's arsehole arthur.

[Betty Swollocks]

Arthur was never as good as he thought he was. Maybe he's drained at the weight but if he moves up he gives up size and strength which are about his only advantages....so either way he's fucked.
He's also too obsessed with portraying himself as some kind of great guy and bible thumper like Holyfield..praying in his corner between rounds and talking to his opponent during the fight etc.....weird. At least he doesn't constantly refer to himself in the 3rd person like Wicky.

[BamBam]

One of the most entertaining fights I've seen that one was. I remember going over to a mates for a few cans yo watch it before heading out for the night. He'd just got a new surround sound system and big huge tv. Cracking bout it turned out to be and one I'm sure I won't ever forget.

I'd love to see Gomez take the fight IF he is still capable of doing himself justice. I know there is the question of the money being right. And, to be fair, I doubt Gomez is in a position to turn down a big payday regardless of whether or not he can do himself justice.

Jeff seems to know him a bit. Whats the verdict then Jeff? Can Gomez come up with the goods and do a number on the lad and give us a look at Unconscious Alex Arthur all over again?

Must admit - that is what I saw, weight drained or not.

Dunks, I feel really sorry for you, it must be a real struggle using a keyboard with the weight of those chips on your shoulders....fucking grow up :-(

If the moneys right I*'m pretty sure the fight we'll be made. Gomez is in a good position at the moment. His new trainer is doing a fantastic job and he is as healthy and fit as i've ever seen him (Christmas celebrations aside). Gomez trades on strength and fitness and currently he is benefitting from living a lifestyle that allows him to maximise his effectiveness in those areas. I think there are a number of good fights out there for Mike and those of you who say he's shot are in for a big suprise.

Would love to see it !

[brown bomber]

I agree Brummy, I'm not daft- Gomez is not the fighter who beat Leva Krivanwhatever and Alex Arthur but he has enough to beat some of the current pretenders. He is working on getting back to his boxing and if he can transfer what he does in the gym to the ring we may see a couple more years from Gomez. He has a beautiful jab which he doesn't use nearly enough and when he's thinking about his approach he picks his punches so well.

is his new trainer kevin maree ?or have igot the wromng guy ?who is gomezs promoter?

[brown bomber]

Correct... Kevin is a brilliant trainer. He is keen to learn and develop his skillls in the sport. He also has a very keen eye for detail- I think he has a great future as a trainer I really do. Steve Wood I think is Gomez' current promoter.

["TKO"]

IMHO Gomez has been shot for a long while, but might still beat average Alex, he was past his best the first time they fought and look what happened.

I know you've sparred gomez, would like to hear about the difference's in each fighter(not comparing them).If you got the time that is. Want a professional analysis:good

[Dunky McCafferty]

Dunky gives Jocks a bad name.

If anyone classes all scots the same as me because of what I preach, it says more about them than it does about me.

[widdy]

just admitt it dunky,you are one rasist mudder fucker against anything English.
If people said shit like that about scots,you would ring the labour party and have them arrested.
why you got a wife beater on your picture by the way

I will do this when I get a few mins mate. :good That would be great. Thanks

[Flea Man]

Gomez has beaten two journeymen in quick fashion since the Khan fight.

Can't see him bottling it from Arthur, who didn't even take the fight to Nicky Cook.

[Beeston Brawler]

Dunky, judging by your recent postings I assume you are on some brilliant mind-bending drugs. Can you send some down to me, they sound awesome. We can take them together and go to Murray-McAllister.

I was at Arthur-Cook and the people I was with, a whole box full, saw it Cook's way. Bear in mind these chaps hate Scots and Cocknies, so it was a real dilemma (we actually love both races, but bear with me). Everyone thought Cook deserved the win.

Alex actually asked his trainer to "Give me some hope!" between rounds, was he asking him for a copy of that ultra-rare ABBA b-side? Or did he know he was pissing away his cheaply won title? I think he knew he was behind.

Cook won it fair and square, close but clear. Alex only has himself to blame, not the judges or the ref. His trainer switching, lack of recent quality fights and attitude went against him, and I like Arthur, I really do.

As for Gomez, I heard that he was earning a shitload up there in Scotland anyway, and did not need the Arthur fight, unless the money was adequate, Arthur needs him, not vice versa.

:think

I didn't think it was that close!

[Bobby Weave]

Absolutely, I felt really sorry for Cook losing a year or more on the Harrison thing. And on Arthur-Cook, the result didn't seem at all controversial to me, I like them both to a point but was very disappointed in Arthur's lack of fire. I hope he was weight drained, because if he wasn't then I think he should think about stopping altogether. Noone else seems to have mentioned it, but didn't ******/Arthur claim after the Gomez-Arthur fight that Arthur had 'flu? I seem to recall ****** saying afterwards that when he found out that Arthur was ill he thought about dropping him as he should never have come into the ring knowing he wasn't well enough. Is that true, do you think, or was it just flannel for the press to cover a bad loss?

[Dunky McCafferty]

just admitt it dunky,you are one rasist mudder fucker against anything English.

Oh shutup noob, alias or whtever the hell is posting here nowadays. I need DEBATE.
I can back up my shit, & all I ask for is decent comebacks!!!! Is that too much to ask? well, is it?

[Dunky McCafferty]

Relatively speaking. Neither man dominated the other, or made me think that world class SFW's would be cacking themselves.

I was glad Cook got it though, especially after the Harrison debacles.

You said in your earlier post to me that it was a "real dilemma" who you wanted to win, & then you say in this post that you were "glad that Cook won"

Some dilemma that TD:lol:

Its like me saying that I dont know who I want to win if Burns fights Gomez, a real dilemma & all that but I will be glad if Burns wins...

Sounds like you already have dabbled in my mindbending drugs Dooley... TRUTH serum. You wanted one your own to win at the end of the day.
Dont bullshit me with all that british nonsense, you wanted Cook to win so of course you are going to say cook was a clear winner. Just like I wanted Arthur to win so thought Arthur did enough to get the decision.

See where Im coming from, eh? Were more alike than you want to believe...

95% of posters in here have a bit of the Dunky in 'em, they just like to hide it for an assortment of reasons.

you aint gonna get decent comebacks off a noob like me knobjockey,you aint fit to lace my gloves with shitty comments like that, mr "ive got over 5000 posts, so im much better than you are,noob" :hi:

Dunky needs to admit defeat here, and leave this thread with a bit of dignity :lol:
