Very interesting fight. Would definitely be a barnburner. This would be a great eliminator fight for the IBF. IBO. I know people don't want to see a Wlad Peter 3, but if he comes out and gets into the open defense of Arreola we could see a devastating KO, and with another KO of a top ranked opponent such as Boystov etc, a 3rd fight with Wlad would be real. Also, if Areolla continues his training like against Abell, we could see a 225 lb Arreola would could easily have gotten that KO win vs Adamek. This 225 lb Areola would be a legitimate contender for either of the 3 champions. And a nice KO, UD over Peter would put him right back in there. In this fight, I'd take Peter by KO, around 3. That is if Peter came in around 235-245.
It really depends on how they show up and what kind of camps they have. Peter has never impressed me. Ever. But he's tough. Arreola has a ton of potential if he can get in better shape and work on fundamentals (better footwork & balance especially). If they both show up fat and sloppy, its anyone's guess. If Chris can get more time with top trainers and keep boiling the flab off, I would put my money on Chris.
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb, you people seriously picking Peter? The Peter knocked on his ass by Mcline. Who was demolished in under 4 rounds by Arreola? The Peter who lasted less rounds against Vitali than Arreola? You guys are high.
