    Tried to get Ibragimov but I guess it didn't work out. Walker is better then Chazz and Damien. It'll be a great test for Arreola and a great fight to watch.

        I ain't sold on Arreola at ALL.

        Looks like a regular heavyweight hypejob to me.

        When he steps into real competition and gets blown out, you'll see.

        But hey, I can be TOTALLY wrong, but IMO - He looks like a hypejob waiting to get KOed by real competition. Wlad would blow this sucka out of the water, hell a ring rusted Vitali would too. Peter, even HAYE too. This guy is just a pretender, not a serious contender.

          I think Arreola's iron chin will allow for his rise in the heavyweight division. He's not fast but he puts together some nice combinations and hits like a jackhammer. I don't think he was ready for a skilled boxer like Ibragimov, but only due to his lack of experience with world class fighters. I'm excited to see him fight though

            They've been trying forever to get Tua or Rahman in the ring, but they overprice themselves. Walker is a reasonable opponent until something better comes along. If they just shoot him to the top before he is ready, it won't be doing Arreola any favors.

              I like this fight. Two up and coming contenders. I think Arreola may walk through some shots and ko Walker.

              May be fireworks early in this one.

                fun matchup. Arreola better start losing weight...if he does, I think he would win.

                  I like husky fighters but he made me change my definition of husky.

                  Boy looked like a damn seal ready to get harpooned in the last one.
                  The other guy didn't look like Mister Olympia either.

                    haha, their body types looked almost exactly the same.

                    the main thing Arreola has going for him is his infighting abilities...no heavyweights nowadays know how to infight, all they do is grab...which is extremely irritating. I love his left uppercut too, thats so rare amongst heavyweights...and honestly, his defence is pretty good, esepecially for a guy who always comes foward.

                    that bastard needs to lose weight though, bad. get down to around 235 or less, and hes good to go.

                      This will be a very good heavyweight fight, between two of the top three young American heavyweights.

                      Travis Walker is underrated because of the ridiculously quick stoppage loss to Wilson - this fight could go either way. Walker is stronger and hits harder than Witherspoon.
                      I know you have Chambers at #1.

                      What about Tony Thompson? Or do you not think he is very good?
