Comments Thread For: Joey Abell: I'm Going To Put Chris Arreola's Lights Out!

I like Joey Abell, but this fight is a mismatch.

Arreola will stop him in the first three rounds.

Never know Tunney, Arreola is easy to hit and will probably be coming forward trying to ko him....he could get caught.

Anything is possible in heavyweight boxing, and Abell is a hard puncher.

travis walker made him take a knee before getting knocked out,abell is a hardhitting southpaw but arreola has a solid beard.the only thing that will keep abell in the fight is he's a southpaw.abell is a minto\maddalone type fighter.tough but marginally skilled & he will get exposed.i could see this fight going a few rounds but i think arreola will eventually overwhelm him with pressure.arreola is a top 10 heavyweight & abell has 4 losses to inferior competition..this is a formula for a beatdown by arreola much like the minto fight.this is a contender vs a journeyman fight so i have little to no faith in abell pulling the upset.

I don't know if it makes a bit of difference but 1 of those losses was a DQ when he hit a guy he had down when he was down and his last fight he avenged a loss.

I don't think of Arreola as a particularly skilled HW and he may win but if anything we could get some interesting moments early on though this fight should end with someone getting stopped.

you could be right,arreola will get hit there is no doubt about that but ive seen him hurt twice.vitali & walker stunned him but other then that hes never really been hurt.adamek never hurt him but outboxed him for the win.i'd like to see abell fight guys like gavern,firtha,minto,maddalone,quezada to see where hes at.hes jumping right into the fire...will he get burnt? we will know friday night!

Well I was talking to the guy who runs the gym Abell trains at and he said that nobody wants to fight Joey because he is a dangerous southpaw. Too much risk with too little reward. Joey had a fight lined up with Botha but Botha took the Holyfield fight and who could blame him. Abell's losses were early in his career and if he does lose this fight it will be because of lack of experience. Abell has gotten a lot better in the last couple of years and I expect him to tko The Slippery Nipple within 9 rounds by using movement like Adamek did but landing with much more power.

Wow was that embarrassing! First grazing right hand had Joey out on his feet. I knew he had a weaker chin but wow. Sic Rik you are the man...
