One of the hottest prospects in British boxing takes to the ring on Saturday night when Scott Quigg defends his British super bantamweight title against former champion Jamie Arthur at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton. Quigg, managed by British boxing legend Ricky Hatton, appears to have all the tools to get to the very top in boxing, and looked simply sensational in overpowering Jason Booth to win the British title last October. On Saturday night he takes on potentially his toughest test yet in Arthur, a former Commonwealth Games gold medalist with excellent boxing skills who can give any opponents nightmares.

23-year-old Quigg [23-0, 16 KOs] has been picking up rave reviews from the press and public alike for some time now, and with his comprehensive victory over former world title challenger Booth [the former British and Commonwealth champion was forced to retire after seven rounds] he looks ready to step up to the next level.

Already ranked third by the E.B.U [European Boxing Union] Quigg knows that an impressive performance against Arthur would put him in pole position for a summer clash against Spanish puncher Kiko Martinez, followed by a potential world title shot in early 2013. Although it would normally seem somewhat presumptuous to be discussing the future of a fighter who was a virtual unknown two years ago and had next to no amateur experience in this manner, such has been the progress of Quigg, he looks the total package already.

At 5'8", he is exceptionally tall for a super bantam, yet displays a powerful, muscular frame at the weight. His work rate and stamina are exceptional, and while he is not a one-punch knockout artist of the caliber of Nonito Donaire, Quigg is heavy handed and will be favorite to win Saturday night's title fight inside the distance.

32-year-old Jamie Arthur [18-5, four KOs] continues to have an amazing Indian summer to a career that looked dead and buried seven years ago. A Commonwealth Games gold medalist in Manchester in 2002, Arthur was one of British boxing's brightest hopes when he turned professional the following year, yet suffered back-to-back stoppage losses against moderate opposition in 2005 that led him to him having a three year hiatus from the ring.

Arthur returned in 2008 and put together a string of six consecutive victories that led to a British featherweight title shot against Martin Lindsay which he lost on points. Following a semi-final appearance in 2010's super bantamweight edition of Prizefighter, Arthur defeated the previously unbeaten Kris Hughes to capture the vacant Commonwealth super bantamweight title.

He lost his title in an epic encounter with Jason Booth last February and has not boxed since. Arthur is super fit and always gives it 110% in the ring, but he looks to have a virtually impossible task against a man who is as fit and fast as he is, yet far more powerful.

Arthur has not been stopped in almost 8 years, but I think that streak will end on Saturday, and I see Quigg dominating this fight from the opening bell. By round eight, Arthur will be banged up and bleeding, and one final assault from Quigg will force the referee to stop the contest.

Quigg by TKO in eight.
