    If andre ward compliments someone on their skills they are good at boxing simple as that.
    Stiverne boxed his ears off in that fight!

    However Arreola takes this one.

    Is it really? Can you say with confidence that Arreola is more than marginally better than Banks? I'd put Banks on the same level as Adamek, who pulled off a win over Arreola. Just something to take into consideration.

    Arreola actually throws punches though and Mitchell has a weak chin. If Banks had let his hands go even the slightest bit more, he would have stopped Mitchell again. This is a Mitchell KO loss if Arreola has anything left.

    As others have pointed out Arreola has been beaten whenever he has stepped up and fought anyone better than a journeymen. People were saying Stiverne had a bad chin and was going to be KO'ed and look what happened. An Arreola victory is far from certain, would not surprise me at all to see Arreola beaten.

    If Arreola wins it would his best win which just goes to show that, when you look at Arreola's resume he is nothing but a domestic level heavyweight who has been beaten whenever he has stepped up.

    This fight will tell us more about Mitchell than Arreola. He wins he goes from being a prospect to a genuine contender and Arreola becomes a gatekeeper. If Mitchell loses he can clearly go no higher. Must win fight for both men.

    Vitali will have to pound on Stiverne for 12 rounds like he did to
    Shannon Briggs and Kevin Johnson to get the win!!! :yep

    Quillin vs. Guerrero, Matthysse vs. Garcia, possibly Lara vs Trout, and now Mitchell vs. Arreola. So much for the theory that Haymon won't match his fighters against each other.

    Gotta go for Arreola in this one if it happens, Seth seems like a good guy but his chin is **** poor and as somebody already said Arreola won't hold back like Banks did.

    Man Golden Boy must've seen something they didn't like and are planning on cashing him out. He holds no advantages against Arreola except conditioning. This isn't gonna be
    a war. He's gonna get eaten.

    I'm sure they'll pay off Arreola just like they paid off Banks.

    Someone very powerful seems to be behind Mitchell, for some incomprehensible reason.

    This will be a fun fight but the quality of these heavyweights is depressing.

    A prime Oleg Maskaev would knock these guys out in the same night.

    Smart move by Al Haymon. He knows that it's only a matter of time before Mitchell gets knocked out again so why not feed him to his best heavyweight instead of having someone else finish the job. More importantly, this will give Arreola a chance to move further up the heavyweight rankings and perhaps even put him next in line for a title shot.

    :lol:

    Man, Arreola bout to beat the brakes off that worthless fool.

    Mitchell is fcuking horrible! And it's quite embarassing that he's getting all this hype. Put him in with Haye or Chisora so he an be taken out of his misery.

    Arreola will be motivated. A win here gets him back in the mix. It could generate a shot at Wlad or at the Haye/Fury winner.
