I thought Salif gave him problems regardless of the score but its been a few years since I've seen it. Tua's chin probably won't be the problem it will be his workrate and maybe conditioning. I think this fight could be a star making situation for Arreola. To win an entertaining slugfest against a name like Tua would put him in high demand. Close fight but I like the younger hungrier man in this one.
Chris is the real deal IMO, probably just about the most exciting heavyweight going around. As long as he remains close to 230 pounds he has a chance of being a major player as he is under 30 years old too. Bring on David Tua & then Tye Fields. Then he can charge the top 10.
Arreola is absolutely legit. He's got a chin, punch, deceiving hand speed and a warrior's mentality. He's the best American heavy along with Tony Thompson. I say he's "live" against anyone.:smoke :smoke
