      I agree. Arreola vs Tua alone would have 8 PPV buys.

          Personally, I voted for a Tua decision due to his experience. I'm not sold on Arreola just yet. Don't get me wrong, the kid is tough and brings a 0 into the fight, which he won't want to lose (fighters take great pride in keeping that 0)

          Anyway, I see it going down like this -

          The first 3 rounds will be action packed with many big shots. After the 3rd round, fatigue will start to set in and the pace of the match will slow down GREATLY... Lots of holding from both fighters (John Ruiz Style).

          Final Outcome -
          Look for Tua to win on points due to his experience...
          Just my 2 Cents.

            It all depends on how much the inactivity and age has affected Tua.

            I notice fighters in their 30s who remain active, usually don't decline as quickly as those who take a long time between fights.

                    Yeah, but Tua fought 5 times between 2006 and 2007, 3 of those last year, so I wouldn't exactly call him inactive. At 35, being a HW, and not taking a tremendous amount of punishment in his career, I think he still has something left.
