    In my opinion, I don't really like Arreola but I like his style. Straight forward pressure fighter.. We're aware of Tommy's left hook..But we all know about that chin and I don't think it'll hold out against Chris.

    What do you think?

    Tommy within 3-5.

    It'd be fun to watch though! I always wanted to see Haye/Arreola.

    Morrison decision.. But Arreola would be dangerous.

    This fight would be a promoters wet dream, 2 scrappers who are willing to fight to the end.

    I think the Duke holds most of the cards, he's quicker, more athletic, better boxer, more raw power, but Chris has a more reliable chin.

    I think Morrison hits the canvas early, but boxes his way out of trouble and stops Chris late most likely by referee intervention..

    Would be a brutal fight:hi:

    Arreola is a fat journeyman.Whatever Morrison's shortcomings he had world class power.

    His shortcomings are the glass chin, the ability to get KO'd by Michael Bentt, go life-and-death with journeymen, and knocked down by ordinary punchers and has-beens.

    Arreola is a fat journeyman, but the type of fat journeyman who should be favoured over Morrison. In history there are dozens of them. Fat journeyman who would knock Morrison out.

    with arreolas style in comming in without much head movement hes gonna get caught, if stiverne put arreola down, morrison is a far harder puncher, especially the left hook, if arreola walks into that left hook I can see him getting knocked out, or his nose broken, and struggling to do anything after in the fight, i feel very confident in morrison destroying arreola.

    Interesting. You're basing his loss off a fight that he won:think

    Arrolea get his block knocked off with his head first pressure style.

    Morrison beat ATG Foreman.

    Arreola was spanked by some guy called 'Stervine'.

    Duke was fighting almost every month of the year. He's going to have some close calls.

    At his best , he clowns a plodder like Arrreola.
