    Lol I'm feeling you,having that blob lean on his opponents doesn't endear him to me either.

    Arreola may have gotten the heavybag treatment from Vitali but can you imagine how bad Kownacki/Klitschko would have been? Christ. Ishudder to think about it. If there was a winnable fight for Vitali in 2019 against a contender Kownacki would be at the top of the list.

    I am still debating going to this fight or not

    I havent seen a shirtless Arreola picture but he looks like he is leaner than usual and Kownacki in my view isnt anything special

    I could see this being a real battle plus I think Pascal vs Browne has potential too

    I do believe Arreola a few years ago would embarrass Kownacki

    Arreola is shot to pieces. He's going to get battered.

    It won't be a blowout win like Washington. Arreola is more dangerous and tougher, even at 38.

    I am a genuine fan of Chris Arreola and really hopes he wins this, but my mind says he's done.

    Arreola might have been durable, but I don't think he has a good chin at this point. His punch resistance is gone. Last fight, Augustin landed almost every punch he threw (and he was a complete bum). If Kownacki lands those punches, it's an early KO.

    My heart says Arreola KO1 Kownacki, my mind says Kownacki within 3.

    Arreola has lost every fight he's fought with the word big in front of it, this ones no different. Hopefully this is the last time he's recycled .The Pole by KO in 8

    Arreola dumped his trainer and is now with Goosen (not that it will make a difference). I don't think Chris has the stamina to go 12 rounds against a guy with Kownacki's style. My hope is he can hurt Kownacki early in the fight (or outright KO him). I don't really see it happening, Arreola was never really that heavy-handed. And even at his best, he was hurt against some lower level opposition. And when he stepped up his competition, he pretty much lost all his important fights.

    I do like Arreola and I'll be rooting for him but I think Kownacki will get him out of there mid-to-late rounds.

    Two very entertaining fights I think

    Kownacki and browne should win but arreola and pascal will definitely have there moments

    Screw both of those fights. Stevens vs. Omotoso will steal the show and may end up the fight of the summer.

    Browne and kownacki have to prove Pascal and Arreola are shot. If they are the real deal they should win handily as you think.

    Arrreola's not lasting more than 5 rds. And Pascal may go the distance but he's getting battered anyway.

    Arreola proved he was shot years ago against guys crappier than Kownacki. He gets hit by literally everything now. Browne handled Badou Jack. You think he’s not gonna handle Pascal’s shell? Pascal barely throws punches anymore. He circles the ring for 2 mins and 35 secs. And flurries for 25 secs. Browne will systematically break him down. Bigger, stronger, faster, younger.
