    He won't weigh in at 262 against better opposition. At 262 it's a 50/50 fight. At 250 he will win. We're talking about Szpilka here, a guy that got dropped thrice vs Mike Mollo. Arreola is a stylistic nightmare for Szpilka, he cannot deal with his pressure and his power. Don't expect this fight to last three rounds, I see Szpilka getting dropped all the time. Same scenario as the Seth Mitchell bout.

    I like Cris - don't remember hearing any bigotry from him about Europeans? - but agree he is past it. Voted Szpilka by KO.

    Good fight anyway which I will watch.

    A motivated Arreola will win but man he looked awful last fight. He can probably taste a fight with Wilder on horizon and should train.

    I like both guys, I like the matchup, and it will be good while it lasts, but this is one of the fights that is on my bet radar, and it will be on an Arreola win.

    Arreola is slippin and Szpilka still someone not to take for granted. He can box pretty well and has that pop behind it. Arreola is pretty unpredictable, but no question he has heart. This has potential to be a barnburner.

    True, probably one of the best heavyweight fights of the year.

    Kinda lost faith in Chris when he didn't even get into shape before his _SECOND_ world title shot. I mean what does it to take for him to stop eating **** and acaully workout?

    If Arreola comes in under 240 or so, Id favor him to take it

    Chris will win by KO, Chris isn't very good but neither is Arthur.

    Arreola at his prime would KO Szpilka within 3 rounds. Now, given that Szpilka has solid foot work and Arreola simply follows his opponents and walks into the punches, I think Szpilka can score a UD victory.

    Cris wins this easy if he's motivated and, when he does, he should get a shot at Fury. Cris would style and profile all over Fury.
