Rooting for Cristobal to win the title big time,I really believe of the two Arreola has the better chance to go on a longer run of successive defences too.Fury,Jennings and Wilder I believe would both be flattened by Cris.although I feel Perez would give him nightmares,obviously the hardest task is the one at hand,first or foremost I don't see him having an easy time with Stiverne,but I feel Stiverne really hasn't been tested to date,the first fight between the pair of them really wasnt a fair reflection of both,at least not Arroela,IMO.
We know Stiverne couldn't finish Arroela who was there for the taking,and Cris clearly wasnt the same fighter after the knockdown.if Cris avoids that one punch it is a 50/50 fight,question is can he be disciplined enough to avoid the same mistake ?
.i had it a round a piece before the knockdown,it'll be more of the same,Stiverne appeared to fight out of a shell when Arreola was hurt bad,refusing to take any real chances to end the fight.are we to expect he will try anything flash when Arreola is in peak shape ? I don't think so.as long as Arreola has prepared properly,is 100 percent on his game fight night I see him pull it off on points.those counter punches he knows how bad they hurt,it'll be at the forefront of his mind,that should be enough to stay focused.
Hopefully Helenius is back in the ring soon.he was a great hope 3 years ago,it is an absolute tragedy how his career has been allowed to curtail in the fashion it has.too much time has gone to waste IMO already I don't see him reaching the highs he scaled before 2012.
I am really unsure of who is to blame but I have quite an high opinion of Sauerland,and the way in which they manage and guide their fighters.it appears from the outside he wishes he wasnt in the contract he willingly signed because of money alone.Sauerland provided him with all those opportunities he should feel compelled to represent them,let alone be obliged contractually.Comment
