Arthur stops Gogoladze

130-pound category remains one of the best

Alex Arthur W10 Koba Gogoladze... If welterweight is boxing's best division, junior lightweight isn't far behind. Promoter Frank Warren now has one of the top dogs at 130 after Alex Arthur stopped ex-Olympian Koba Gogoladze in the tenth round on Saturday. The three-knockdown performance earned Arthur the WBO interim title, and will force Joan Guzman to decide between taking a very tough fight to keep his WBO title or moving north to 135 pounds. Arthur is now 25-1 and is looking for a big fight against the likes of Guzman, Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez or Marco Antonio Barrera. Frank Warren may have the resources to lure one of them over to the UK. source: bbc
