Tua vs. Arreola

There's talk that this is almost a done deal with a shot at the WBC title in line for the winner. I was glad Arreola exposed Witherspoon for the bum he is, and im hoping now that Tua exposes Arreola so we get rid of both. I really hope Tua comes in at 230-240 and in good condition, because then he shouldn't have much problem knocking out Arreola.

Tua hasn't fought a legit contender in five years. That being said, I expect a slugfest if this happens, but I'll go with the much fresher Arreola.

I'm with ya. Arreola appears to be one of the few HW's who are interested in giving the fans what they want, aggression. Like most swarmers he sacrifices a ton of defense for his offense. I haven't seen him take any clean shots on the jaw so I'm not sure how his chin is.

I'd like to see him calm down just a tad and not lean over so much while coming forward. I don't think Tua is a good enough boxer to expose him.

Tua hits hard and Arreola is wide open. I think Tua knocks him out... or maybe its just wishful thinking, i can't stand this dude.

The only thing Arreola exposed Witherspoon of is, that Chazz could lose. Arreola is an exciting fighter in a boring division, so I don't know why dislike the guy. Arreola-Tua then the winner fighting Peter-Klitschko that sounds like 2 real good exciting fights especially if it's Peter-Arreola.

I'm going with The Nightmare. Should be a really entertaining fight though.

I agree with you Hector. Chris is some fresh new blood. And he's exciting to watch. Plus he's from around here. So I'm pulling for him

I'm with you girl. I can't believe fools are hating on Arreola. What the fukk do they want? Chazz Witherspoon? Malik Scott? Danny Williams? Arreola is there to fight. He ain't there to play around.

I hope he beats Tua's ass. I really don't care too much though.
