tony thompson vs chris arreola

I reckon Arreola catches up wth him late on around 6 7th...

i still remember when thompson fought wladimir..he was landing shots on wlad i cant remember which round it was but it was early in the fight..and wlad bear hugged thompson and tony like threw wladimir off of him..i just started crackin up when he did that lol

Thompson. A fight like this would expose Aerreola IMO.

im favouring thompson in this, i dont think hes been in too many wars and this would be his last shot at a title. his southpaw stance and jab would be a bit too much. id quite like to see some of the young guns (povetkin, haye, arreola, chambers, dimitrenko) in the ring with the likes of thompson who is a legit HW, tall, good jab and his southpaw stance and solid technique makes it a very respectable fight.

i think thompson starts out winning the first 4 round or so and gets an early lead but i think eventually he begins to cave in from arreloas pressure and powerful punches leading to probably an 8th round TKO/KO.

yo dmac...who u got thompson or arreola?? Shoot man it's tough call cuz I love Tony the Tiger, but I gotta go Arreola 7-8th round TKO. Thompson is gettin worn down and old, he can't hang with the young guns anymore. Arreola will take his jabs in the early rounds but Thompson will wear out and Arreola should get the TKO, I just see him landing a lot of shots but Thompson doesn't go down forcin referee to stop it. Maybe I'm overestimatin Arreola here but I don't think Thompson will ever be a force in the division again. Blackirish this your time to shine...........

Why is this poll so one sided, Thompson is a huge step-up. And I don't think its a high-risk/low-reward fight. I actually favor Thompson in this fight because he is the better boxer in my opinion. But could Arreolas, heart, work-rate, be too much for Thompson? Funny how Thompson is only a bum after Wlad beats him yet Thompson looked good at times against Wlad. No one in recent yrs has looked good against Wlad except Thompson.

Blackirish where he at? He'd love this thread yo dmac...who u got thompson or arreola??

ya hit the nail on the head..this is like the perfect test for chris but like u said high risk low reward for chris..im just so anxious to see chris tested at the high level..i wanna be able to reassure myself that he is the real deal You know thats funny I do have a bit of anxiety about chris because he is exciting and I want him to be good and the real deal ya know

I don't think it will happen really to much risk for chris not enough reward. But if it were to happen it would go along way in showing if chris can deal with a boxer with good skills and two if he can take it to a durable quality heavyweight ya hit the nail on the head..this is like the perfect test for chris but like u said high risk low reward for chris..im just so anxious to see chris tested at the high level..i wanna be able to reassure myself that he is the real deal

u might be right..but it would be no easy task for chris..thompson has a good chin and is really awkward i think it would take a few rounds for chris to land his shots..i really wanna see this fight so we really know what chris is made ofI don't think it will happen really to much risk for chris not enough reward. But if it were to happen it would go along way in showing if chris can deal with a boxer with good skills and two if he can take it to a durable quality heavyweight

I think tompson will have a big problem with someone who will come straight at him with bad intentions and the fact that chris will eat tonys jab to land his hook u might be right..but it would be no easy task for chris..thompson has a good chin and is really awkward i think it would take a few rounds for chris to land his shots..i really wanna see this fight so we really know what chris is made of

possibly. but thompson can deal with pressure pretty well especially with a smaller fighter..i mean thompson is the only guy that has given wladimir any problems as of recently I think tompson will have a big problem with someone who will come straight at him with bad intentions and the fact that chris will eat tonys jab to land his hook

Areola to much pressure possibly. but thompson can deal with pressure pretty well especially with a smaller fighter..i mean thompson is the only guy that has given wladimir any problems as of recently

Nightmare will chop that tree, to much killer instinct

Areola to much pressure
