    is areola stepping up his competition with this fight, or is this guy in there just to build up his record?

    It's an IBF eliminator fight so I am assuming he is a contender.

    Wlaker is a big guy who is about the same size as Arreola. I saw his two fights against TJ Wilson on Showtime one he was stopped on his feet in like 18 seconds but he easily won the rematch.


    This fight will tell us a lot about Chris Arreola and if he will be a legit title threat.

    It's gonna be a good fight. Cant wait. Chris is gonna get tested, no doubt.

    Walker is slow, crude, has no defesne. More of the same from Arreola- figthing guys with good records but haven't beaten anyone and couldn't beat any good fighters ( especially Chazz Witherspoon). Witherspoon is a nice well educated guy with a famous last name, just he isn't a very good HW.

    Anyone that has seen Walker's several fights Showbox should realize that he is not very good.
