Tua vs Arreola

[BoxerDood]

I remember this fight being discussed in 2008, but it never happened for some reason. Assuming Arreola beats Adamek and Tua beats Friday, should this fight happen next?

[CrackYourJaw]

Hopefully.

Tua KO's him IMO.

Arreola likes to trade too much.

[BoxerDood]

I know one thing for sure. There's no way in hell this fight is going to the score cards.

Would be a cracking fight, but why would Tua take the risk of losing a big payday against Wlad? He's now ranked #2 by the WBO behind Povetkin and will probably get a mandatory shot at Wlad next year.

Very true. I'd prefer this fight though. I think Wlad would destroy Tua at this point.

[$partacus]

Because Wlad would destroy him from the distance, and not allow him to crack his glass jaw. That's probably the only chance he has against Wlad at this point.

Tuas done and wants money, so he won't take a high risk/low reward fight against Arreola when he can wait and get a much bigger payday vs Wlad.

Yeah I ended up editing my post seconds later, but you must have read and replied to it before I could. I agree, although I'd love to see a slugfest between these two, trying everything in their power to KO the other.

[Pirao]

It doesn't make any sense for Arreola, beating Adamek would put him in line for another shot, Adamek is a much bigger win than Friday.

I wouldnt mind seeing Arreola-Dimitrenko either. A lot of good fights a HW right now.
