Comments Thread For: Chris Arreola To Face Fred Kassi on Frampton Card

[Lou Cipher]

And let me guess...Arreola has found a new dedication and is "reborn" for the 10th time, so much that he's even going to show up at the gym and do some crash dieting and we are all supposed to be beside ourselves with anticipation. PFFFFFT.

I really have no problems with arreola getting a voluntary shot in september if he wins over kassi. No different then golota, frank bruno or jameel mccline getting 4 title shots each. Bruno did win his 4th title shot so you never know. Arreola is a better opponent then lucas browne would ever be. I bet arreola destroys browne. Arreola actually has skills but his defence is getting punched in the face so there is always a risk he gets laid out. Wilder doesn't have stiverne's chin so this would be an exciting fight while it lasted.

An in shape Arreola is one of the more formidable HW's.

If the same Arreola that showed up for Stiverne showed up against Wilder, Wilder would have been pasted!

So? He looked terrible his last bout & just taking paydays....he's no real threat 2 box 4 a title...

Arreola vs Wilder has a very big chance of an upset, I'm excited at the prospect of the fight though I'm sceptical it will be made. Their are a few new entrants to the top 15 whom may be deemed softer touches.

You know you're a bad HW champ when Arreola is deemed too good of an opponent.

Kassi's first fight since he was brutally KO'd by Amir Mansour last year, I wonder what place his head will be. If Arreola wins he gets Wilder in September.

If Chris Areolla ever gets a title fight again i'm boycotting that governing bodies title fights until the end of time

Arreola has a resume approximately 10x better than Wilder.

And Wilder did exactly NOTHING to earn his title shot at all!

I could entertain Wilder maybe beating Lucas Browne but not Arreola.

Wilder has never truly fought this calibre of opponent!!

I'd have reservations whether he could have beaten a healthy Stiverne. Even still, triangle theory may not apply.

Arreola is only a few inches shorter than Wilder but massively heftier and the power and chin advantages of Arreola are large, and Arreola's workrate is much higher than Stiverne's! And his gas tank is larger than Wilder's!

he's going to look like a tub of goo times 2

I'm hoping Kassi pulls the upset - and he can too. Arreola went life and death with some stiff in his last fight and Kassi looked decent up until Mansour KO'd him.

Frank Kassi is still alive ?! I thought Hardcore Mansour killed him! He was out for a good 5 minutes.
