Some interesting heavyweight fights coming up

[MARKBNLV]

During the weeks and months to come, we're finally going to have some interesting heavyweight matchups:

Mar 19: V. Klitschko vs. Solis

Mar 26: Bahktov vs. Glazkov & Dimitrenko vs. Sosnowski

Apr 2: Helenius vs. Peter

June 25 or July 2: W. Klitschko vs. Haye

Sept: Klitschko vs. Adamek


And from what I've been reading, there are other possibilities:

Chisora vs. Fury (possibly on May 21)
Povetkin vs. Chagaev or Mormeck in June
Kevin Johnson-Grant in June
Arreola vs. TBA on May 14 (hopefully a contender)


The heavyweight division has suffered from a lack of meaningful fights the past couple of years, with contenders fighting clubfighters instead of other contenders. But this year is looking MUCH better than before.

I wish there was more of an emphasis on smaller Hws i would l;ove to see some of the top Lhws and Cruisers fight guys like Adamek.

[The Hammer]

he had one

joey abell and that was for all of one round

And he had one last fall against Quezada that went the distance.

Arreola shouldn't be wasting himself on clubfighters like Abell.

yeah but remember he hurt his hands during that fight so he had to take time off for that.

and no you're right but if you had a guy who has trouble dedicating himself and this time he said this is his chance to show the world he is focused you do whatever it takes to get him back to that stance

and he went to the Canelo fight for his birthday....and was about in the 240s......without him being in training camp. He has been watching his weight so that's a sign of encouragement

I give him tons of leeway because I am friends with him but I do know this is his year to make or break himself

he does too

Maybe he wants to put in more time with his new trainer before taking on a bigger challenge. Of course Arreola-Peter makes the most sense but who knows if we'll see it.

All these fights are great, the only one i'm not too interested in is Povetkin's. Neither of those opponents will pose much of a threat at this stage.

I'm also very interested in Tua's possible rematch with Monte and Boystov's supposed fight in America as well.

The Tuaman also attempts to restart his comeback against Demetrice King this Saturday in NZ.

That's a somewhat interesting one too.

King has poor skills, but he punches hard. If Tua really is shot, he might get KOed.

They don't have the heart of Conn.

There are a few CW's i'd like to see move up.

I know it will never happen but i want Arreola vs Pala.

[Hayehammer]

last thing i heard arreola might fight nagy aguilera next

He's signed with Golden Boy. Not sure if they're full promoter or if it's a joint promotion like alot of European guys have. Either way Arreola-Boytsov is something id like to see.

Arreola is fighting Haitian Bermane Stiverne most likely. I think he might lose, this guy I've watched and carries some hard punches.....Makes Walker and Abell look tame. He's been KO'd before had a shaky career but recently had a spur of good wins.

Bermain Stiverne is a dangerous puncher, kind of a "high-risk, low-reward" opponent for Arreola.

Goossen should have him fight Tony Thompson (whom Goossen also promotes, so he could easily make that fight).
