Video: Deontay Wilder vs Chris Arreola - Preview & Prediction

I watched the video. Anybody that had Stiverne beating Wilder cannot be objective when evaluating Wilder. That was such a wide UD easy win, and easily predictable. I see Rumsfeld having "fun" by willing to fall flat on this face. So much for reasonable discussion. :barf

 

:rofl

 

Arreola has no chance. He doesn't even have a punchers chance.

 

I agree with Rummy, if Arreola can fight half as well as his potential he has a chance early because he can punch very hard, his combinations can be fast, could give Wilder problems no doubt about it............I expect Wilder to win the fight, but if Arreola lands one really good right hand Wilder will go down. Arreola will have to fight the referee, the crowd, the judges, boxing commission, etc., so he should go for it..................How did Arreola go from not being ranked to being #9 on WBC? Why has Wilder been given 4 voluntary defenses? Why did the WBC not take the WADA recommendation? It appears the WBC is protecting Wilder.................Povetkin has been cleared, so tell Wilder to fight Povetkin, his mandatory ASAP! Wilder will fight another voluntary defense, the WBC will rank a # 40 fighter #1, whatever it takes.............

Big question; which Arreola will show up for the fight? Wilder picked Arreola because he looked bad in his last fight and the WBC created Arreola for Wilder to beat................probably by knockout............but again, I give Arreola a puncher's chance by all means...................will Arreola has enough stamina to walk to the ring?

 

If Arreola wins it will be down to how bad Wilder was rather than down to how good Arreola is, because it's clear Arreola is shot, he was in shape in his last fight and still looked terrible, he will likely be in the worst shape of his career for this fight due to the short notice of this fight, so Arreola really shouldn't win.

Wilder for all his flaws has power and I can't see someone who is as easy to hit as Arreola, especially to the right hand, not get blown out once Wilder lands his big right.

Arreola of course has a punchers chance but he could't put away Kassi or Kaufman does he really have a chance of putting away Wilder based off this? Arreola has the pressure style but he showed against Kassi that he simply didn't have the conditioning to put the kind of pressure on to stop Kassi even when he had him hurt and I can't see an Arreola with 4-5 weeks of training having the energy to put on a sustained enough attack to put Wilder away, or even get to him in the first place.

Wilder KO's him inside 6 rounds.

 

Considering the history of Wilder's title defenses, this fight is not surprising. However, that doesn't mean that it should be justified, because a heavyweight titleholder shouldn't be allowed to defend against a non-top 30 opponent, especially Wilder, who hasn't fought anyone of note during his title reign (Molina, Duhaupas, Szpilka).

Arreola is a cannon fodder here.

I think that your prediction might be a combination of overrating Arreola and underrating Wilder.

Wilder might have flawed defense, but he is not going to just stand there and let Arreola get to him with his basic attacks. There are levels in boxing and there is a reason why Wilder is currently a top 5 heavyweight while Arreola is not even top 30.

Chris Arreola at this point in time is a tough journeyman level fighter that should only make you worried if your defense is so bad that he is able to catch you clean cut with a power shot on the chin, and Wilder's defense is not that bad. Like I already mentioned in one of the previous posts, Arreola is not capable defeating any decent well schooled fighter.

 

this post says it all.

 

The thread has gone mad. Cristoball is a slug he has Norfolk enchants.

 

I see Arreolas chances at 2-3%. If Wilder has an injury, or gets cut early he could take advantage of it. I see a 80% likelihood of Wilder KOing him early (first 4 rounds). 17-18% late KO or UD decision for Wilder.

 

I agree with a lot of this. Especially your point about the short notice of this fight for Arreola. This is a matchup greatly softened by denying Arreola ample preparation time for a shot at a world title. His reputation for his "between fight" conditioning is suspect at best and notorious at it's worst.

 

So hos is Arreola supposed to avoid his punches?
