Im looking forward to see if Ding can put him down. I think both you and Brooklyn underestimate Dings power. I think that Ding knows that he has to use his feet in order to setup something against Arslan. If he can do this then he can knock him out. Ding has to use his upperbody movement and move to the sides in order to get to him - and this is precisely what I predict will happen. Dings team must know what to do against a come forward, durable type fighter as Arslan.
I never said he was a boxing god. But he can sure box better than Ding. Not to discredit him or anything. the thing is.... If Ding lands a couple of good Flush shots on Arslans chin..... he might KD him. MIGHT. If thats the seneario I see Arslan gettignup anyways and still winning the fight. But I don't see it happening. I see Arslan out boxing Ding to a easy UD win.
I think its pretty much equal in the boxing skill department. (And I know you never named him a "God".
Man, Nwodo was done in the last 2 rounds - it was only a matter of time back then when he was going to get finished by Wilson. Arslan is far superior to Nwodo in terms of stamina and defence...
But doubtful that he's anything Darnell hasn't seen in punching power or skill. And Darnell has a very good trainer in Charles Mooney.
No, I am a poster who generally goes for hard punchers. But you guys were right about one thing - I didn't know that much about Arslan, and you fellas were surely right that the guy had a hell of a chin. I stand corrected!:good
The thing is that this isn't just appearance. Arslan is exactly as well conditioned as he looks. He says himself that he has no talent and that's why he has to work extra hard in the gym and that's what he does. His stamina and tight guard are the keys to his success, it enables him to be in your face for every second of the fight for twelve rounds.
If that is how Arslan fights then we need to put him in there against Mormeck, now that would be a war!
