    He's got a puncher's chance. I think he might stagger or even drop Wilder. And this message board will explode with new threads seconds later.

    My appreciation for statistical correlations at times does force me to appreciate this outlook while considering my fight day prediction.

    You forget the whole Povetkin testing positive for a banned substance thing?

    Boxing fan? Really?

    Any true fan should respect the facts surrounding the Povetkin fallout, and give Deontay a pass on his belt's organization's approved (available/ready within time) voluntary on short notice.

    Arreola was banned at xmas for 6 months for testing positive for a banned substance.

    Arreola is so fat and shot, he has absolutely zero chance. Wilder KO in 2-3 rounds in a disgraceful mismatch. A joke of a fight really.

    I thought he had zero chance before but having seen Arreola at the press conference and seeing him fatter than I have ever seen him he doesn't even have a zero percent chance.

    Shot to hell, fatter than ever, not even prepared to face Wilder and facing Wilder in Alabama in front of a home crowd, if Arreola wins it would be the kind of ending to a career that could only happen in a movie.

    Like I said, statistics doesn't work like that. Events are not independent and the probability decreases with every shot.

    Depends on the intelligence of the fan. One with above highschool education would realize that Povetkin ban was political and see this whole scenario as a sign of fear from WilderÂ’s camp. I repeated time and time again that Povetkin is not taking anything Wilder isnt, but time and time again people pretend not to see it in order to justify their position of hypocrisy.

    Which is why I do not debate with the demographic or radical ethnocentric branches of them. Their IQ points are too far left of the bell curve to even write a comprehensive post they can understand.

    If he drops WIlder, BenitoM's keyboard is going to catch fire from the typing :D

    At this stage Wilder ought to breeze past ancient Arreola

    No, Arreola will end up crying again, probably quit on his stool after a round or two of getting slapped around.

    Heavyweight boxing has hit an all time low when a title holder defends against a man who's only won 2 of his last 5 fights. I know this was a last minute sort of thing, but still.

    You are not crazy. I have a hunch they are going to go life and death with each other

    That fat fug is a fraud. All he ever did was show up for a paycheck. Expect nothing different
