Ding 199.5; Arslan 199.5!!!

None, I can guarantee you that, he probably didn't even know what Arslan looked like before he saw those weigh in pics. In an earlier thread he claimed Wilson would KO Arslan early and easily. After actually seeing a pic of him it changed to late TKO but it still obvious that he doesn't know a flying **** about Arslan.

 

I'm trying to figure out the same thing...

 

I'm going against the grain here and picking Arslan UD. I hope Wilson proves me wrong. Have a feeling that Arslan is going to outwork him and not give him room to breathe. Wilson has concussive power, but 1) he needs to be at mid range to have full effect and isn't much of an inside fighter and 2) I question how often he's going to land flush as Arslan keeps his hands high and picks off shots fairly well.

This means a 7 PM ET start.......... for you Americans...

 

:yep

 

Arslan looks a double hard *******.

 

Based on what I'm reading here I think Ding has a really good chance to pull off the upset and win by KO.

Arslan likes to come forward and throw lots of punches, giving plenty of opportunity to for Ding to capitalise and land big shots of his own. Arslan isn't a slick boxer off the backfoot like BJ Flores, and so his style wont give Wilson as many problems.

I feel that Wilson will be getting outworked early, but will start to land some big shots as the fight wears on. Mid-round KO for Wilson.

 

I predict Arslan to outbox him and impose superior stamina in the later rounds. If Ding doesn't stop him, Arslan should win on points.

 

Arslan UD. I'd love to see Ding win, but Arslan is a tough nut to crack, and I just don't think Ding can do it. He couldn't beat Tokarev and Arslan is better now than Tokarev was then.

 

Thanks:thumbsup

 

Yea I agree 100%. Good post. :good

Zakman is just one of them posters that is all over somones nuts just over the fact he posts here, and doesn't make real based predictions.

Arslan by UD anyways. Hes a tough Turk based German fighter that has a good beard. This fight will go the distance, and Arslan will win.

 

Arslan looks like a ****ing tank

 

Ive seen Arslan a couple of times and he doesnt strike me as some superiour boxing god. He is a come forward type who can indeed tire his opponents - but thats all. I mean ****in all there is to this guy. Good stamina, physics and a good beard. No sound fundamentals whatsoever.

Darnell has a killer left and right hook - a good chin and hes durable as well.

My pick is Darnell by 7 round KO.

 

How can Ding win if he can't set up his punches? He can't put enough leverage behind them when fighting in close range where the fight will be held - me and brooklyn gave this prediction and you'll most likely see that the fight will unfold that way...

 

Did you see the finish of the Nwodo fight? That's how you set your punches up inside. He threw the right hand, got close, and finished on a very short, compact hook that landed right on the button. And I think you guys might be surprised by the handspeed Darnell could flash, he's certainly not slow when he's at his best.
