Make it happen! Could be some fireworks...

Putting it on Fonfara undercard would be making it strong.... then I remembered that the Fonfara fight isn't in Chicago

Still a Polish dude and a Mexican American in Chicago is catering to two large groups in the area, I think it would be a crazy atmosphere there. They would probably have something silly as the main event that doesn't really fit with the area like Quillin-Jacobs.

Szpilka knocks the mexican butterbean out.

[The Hammer]

Good matchup.

Could be a fun fight. But based on how Arreola has looked in his last two fights, anything but a KO win for Szpilka would surprise me.

Haymon probably would main event it there.... i mean not like he cares. I think Fonfara/Cleverly in BK anyway... should still put it there for the Polish fans going.

Arreola looks done and Spilzka needs a name.... so works out for either guy cuz it would revive ARreolas hamburger career or give Spilzka a boost in his

Put that fight in Chicago and you have something

Yep. The crowd atmosphere would be fire.

Haymon should definitely look into doing that.

Good HW matchup. On paper, Szpilka should take this one easily. He has cagey southpaw style where he employs a lot of movement and picks his shots. He's looks decent fighting C level opponents but he might have trouble dealing with Arreola's aggression and power, however faded those things might be.

Is the Quillin Jacons not proposed for Brooklyn ? Odd if it isn't.

I think this is a 5050 fight. Szpila has a soft underbelly and I honestly don't think he stops Arreola, if Arreola turns up conditioned for ten rounds I could see him stopping him. Either way the winner would have been a good defence for Wilder but I feel all that is a little late now.
