    Chris has been given too many chances at a title run, eventually statistics will play a factor here, as the more chances Chris gets, the more likely he is too getting the upset. Wilder better watch out, this cherry pick has statistics on his side.

    He has a puncher's chance, And honestly I don't think it's a bad matchup.

    Areola is getting knocked out in 2 rounds. Wilder is gonna make the fat boy quit mentally and then the body will follow. No discipline, atrocious diet, face frst defence, slow hands and cement feet...you people betting on Chris are going by emotion.

    The fight ends when Wilder decided it should end. I expect 2nd round ko but he may make Chris last just to get rounds in.

    Doesn't work like that in boxing. Statistics assumes independent events, and Areola's health is very dependent on his past loses. It's not like he is as strong as he was when he fought Don Vito, he is all but spent.

    Arreola is another walk over cherry pick by Team Wilder. Massive mismatch and a disgraceful fight. Wilder KO 2.

    Nobody is picking Arreola over Wilder. Wilder is a lot bigger than Areola so he will knock him out.

    in 30 rounds of boxing v kauffman/kassi /henry / his last fights
    3 journeyman fighters arreola has not scored a single knockdown and has to ride his luck and judges scorecards .

    before that he was knocked silly by stiverne.

    if he could not land a knockdown blow on 3 short 6.0 average fighters why do people beleive he will have power v the speed and height and length of wilder ?

    arreola does not have much left in the tank
    his punch resistance is gone
    his power has faded and he was never a slick boxer to begin with.

    IMO this will be a blowout and arreolas last fight.

    He knocked Harper down after 30 seconds and ran out of gas after that.

    i stand corrected
    did not remember that

    but still stand by the fact arreola is no longer a threat.

    he is so easy to hit for journeyman fighters let alone someone with the speed and height of wilder.

    as soon as it starts arreola will look like he has weights on his arms and legs so slow and ponderous will he look in comparison to wilder who can bomb him from range and get out before arreola gets off with a shot.

    this is a very easy fight to call.

    if arreola had the durabilty of old maybe he could hang tough / but father time has caught up with him and this is a gimmee fight for wlder.

    Wilder by unpleasant KO.

    I think he will respect Arreola a bit to much for a few rounds.

    Then he will "one punch" him.

    Arreola will be out and hurt badly enough to scare everyone.

    Chris starts career as fairly low level gatekeeper.

    This is equivalent to GGG

    That's why he was selected. Heaven forbid we see Deontay actually tested.

    I know I'm ****ing in to the wind in regards to getting a logical answer but can you give me an example of a GGG opponent who had done less to earn a title shot than this version of Chris? Answer on a postcard please.

    Yeah. The Stiverne fight and a few other fights after that didn't tell us anything at all about Wilder. Not the puffy eyes or being wobbled. Nothing.
