Arthur will do nothing at lightweight.

Murray will take his shots with ease, walk him down and stop him within 6

Arthur for me too but not just now, way too soon. Arthur will be the most clever fighter that Murray has faced should it ever happen. He does look much, much more comfortable and if he can frustrate JM early doors I reckon a body attack would stop a deflated Murray in the tenth. Would be a great fight though. Murray wouldn't just walk through AA like he has with most people so far.

I think it would be a corker. AA needs a couple of decent tune ups first tho before it could happen.

Never thought of this one. At first thought i would say Arthur but i would like to see him have another fight at lightweight.

Was wondering if there are any real better domestic fights out there?

Burns v Mitchell?

Jennings v Brook?

Add Fury-Chisora and eventually Groves-Sutherland-Jeffries in the future as well.

I think many here think Arthur is done as i did too, more regarding ******, was my reasoning.

Making weight seems to have been a big issue.

Arthur to give Murray a working over.

Arthur with ease.

Am taking bets :good

i bet my left testicle that murray would take him out within 8, thats just as good as me puttin me house on it

Arthur for me wins it.I think Arthur'll do decent at lightweight.Arthur takes power up and stops him I think.

I think makin weight was a huge drain on AA over the last 2 year more so than any fighter I can remember recently in British boxing.

50 quid says Arthur wins.

Not to mention Arthur's a former British Commonwealth EBU and WBO champion plus he looks after himself between fights so should be stronger at his new weight.Murray didn't even make the weight in his last fight

Arthur a million percent, There is no way Murray would walk through him.

Murray a million percent, There is no way that arthur isn't the most overhyped fighter barring joe

I agree Murray was daft urning up 10 mins before deadline of the weigh in but he was apparently 2 beer mats over weight!!

if he"d have weighed in 50 mins earlier and then worked out for 40 mins he would have probably made the weight

Bu t the guys i met who know him did say they saw him 6 weks befre and he was no where near in shape

i think limmond has a better chance of beating murray then arthur, arthur been made to go life and death with the cooks and fosters of the world how do u expect him to cope with a big lightweight who doesnt stop comming foward in a weight class hes not even used to.

I beg to differ. you are going to see the best of Alex Arthur at his new weight.
Trust me on this one.

The damage is already done Dunk.
The damage done during years of killing himself to make weight, is irreversable IMO, and moving up in weight is too late.
Murray would work Alex over.

I think we will see a completely different Arthur at lightweight and I would take him to outpoint Murray.

Arthur better get a move on though, he only seems to fight once a year at the moment.

disagree with that, I don't think Limond would really have much of a chance against murray. I would say Arthur could quite possible win, but he's not really tested at the weight. I never saw his first LW fight, but it sounded embarassing. (not his performance, the quality of his opponent)
