This seems like it will be a very entertaining fight. Good style matchup. Arreola can test Sanchez's chin. If Frank can stop Arreola impressively, that could position him for a quick title shot or a spot in a final eliminator. Frank Sanchez is streaking up the WBC ratings and Lenier Pero is doing the same in the WBA's. One of them could realistically become Cuba's first heavyweight champion, especially if belts start being vacated over the next year.
Be nice to see Sanchez get knocked out but there's no way Arreola wins this. The fight has Sanchez UD written all over it.
Obviously not he's not even gate keeper level now, he would of beaten Kownacki if he had anything left and that fight was 4 years ago. He's just durable and will show up and give it his best but in the end loses to anyone who isn't just a journeymen type.
Interesting fight, still question marks over Sanchez. I’m not sold on him, arreola may still post some problems for him
Fury called out a cruiserweight who broke his jaw last time out. Credit, a great win in the process, but that doesn’t change anything. That same cruiserweight is from Australia, where other than the locals and boxing purest, no one has heard of him. Let that sink in.
I feel the same about Sanchez, beating Ajagba proves nothing. But I don't think Arreola will have much success vs Sanchez, it's one thing to have an opponent like Kownacki and Ruiz Jr who stood in front of Arreola and are not difficult to hit, he'll have a harder time finding Sanchez. I expect a boring wide UD.
This is an embarrassing fight for Sanchez in my opinion at this stage of his career. I suppose his management figures Arreola isn't totally fossilized yet and still has a recognizable name in boxing circles.
He is rather a popular name recently, ranked 4th by WBC. So was Otto Wallin, but if Fury accepts such a fight - he is ridiculed for it. If he shows no interest - he gets the criticism. We might see Sanchez as a good option and probably some top 5 guy in the next 1-2-3 years, but will he be... As for who wins in Arreolla-Sanchez - Sanchez.
