Tell me about Firat Arslan...

If Ding fights like he did against Flores, Arslan will stop him late or win a lopsided decision. He's got to fight a smarter fight and come in sharper than he did against BJ. It should be a hell of a fight, though.

 

This is going to be a really tough fight for Ding. Hopefully he will beat Arslan in a war, but Arslan's chin is very good and Ding is not going to be getting a decision win in a close fight. I think Maccarinelli would be an easier fight for him, but he doesn't have a title anymore. Go Ding, knock his ass out!

 

Yep! I,too,think that Macca would be an easier fight for Wilson.

Wilson ' s best weapon-his firepower-isnt a desicive factor against iron chinned Firat Arslan.
Furthermore Wilson is no match for Arslan in a war of attrition. Arslan's stamina isnt from this world.You cant go toe to toe with Arslan for 12 long rounds.
Darnell should go and buy a tape of Arslan vs Drozd. As Wilson the Russian can bang,and relied too heavily on his firepower in his encounter with Arslan trying to put the Turk out of action within the first 5-6 rounds.Arslan had to take quite a lot of really telling punches.However,he hold the forth and didnt go down taking command of the fight when Drozd ran out of gas after 3 intense and exciting rounds.
Arslan is a very limited fighter,but an extremely durable and tough one.His constant pressure is difficult to cope with.
Darnell should take his time not wasting unnessecary energy by trying to connect with some ko punches.Arslan can be outboxed.Hold him at bay with some hurtful counterpunches,play dirty,rough him up,clinch,wrestle,run if nessecary,use your ellbows,and be ready and sharp enough to go 12 long rounds!
Go,Darnell,go!
Could be the biggest fight in your pro career! Beating a popular German based fighter in his backyard could provide you with some big paychecks in Germany. Kraj,Huck,Alexeev,Hernandez,Frenkel,Kuziemski,Licina,Hide,and so on are all German based rivals.
Good luck!
