1st one against thompson july 7th in switzerland, epix will show. then, if he gets past that one, he will face arreola on hbo in msg, ny city, november 10. [url]http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7741883/wladimir-klitschko-make-12th-title-defense-rematch-vs-tony-thompson[/url]
At least they are on top of it. Hopefully Povetkin will consider nutting up in the meantime and Wlad can fight him instead of Arreola in the fall. I'd rather see the Adamek/Arreola rematch but it doesn't look like it will happen if Arreola is waiting to face Wlad.
was hoping it was gonna be arreola at the staples center so i could see cristobal get waxed again :deal ah well
If Arreola says no thanks this time around they should just forget about him. I suppose he will fight another prefunctory opponent before Wlad in November. If he passes then K2 will have to play who wants a shot at the champ once again...
Wach and Helenius... but they will be ready in about a year. Other than them .. noone... Boytsov is never going to step up.. until when he has milked his 'up-and-comign status to the max.. and is in his 30ties... so we cannot really count him in. There is also an ex-cuban who looks promising, but needs to step up.
Arreola is going to get another shot without havin beaten anyone in the top 20 along the way. I hope after Wlad whoops him we never hear from him again, that people have Arreola beating guys like Chambers, Mitchell or Adamek in a rematch boggles my mind.
Yeah, I don't really care about top 20s and all. To me, there's the Klitschkos, and then there's the rest of the HW division. The rest are all as equally as ****. Arreola will at least put in a worthwhile effort and the fight could be relatively entertaining.
So you woul be ok with Wlad fighting, say, Brian Minto? Since the rest are all as equally **** :think
