Comments Thread For: Arreola Confident of Shocking Deontay Wilder: I'll Make History!

[uniquehump]

This is like his 4th chance at making history. If he lose, then I hope it's his last chance. Wilder doesn't have the greatest chin, so he better fight like a tall guy and keep him off of him, or he will be taking a nap.

People are upset about this pick, but this is a keep busy fight, because the big fight was cancelled. No top fighter is going to take a fight so soon against Wilder. Of course Chris wasn't going to turn this opportunity down as he needs this fight. So you get a stay busy fight so that you won't run into nearly a year of inactivity, then you schedule another big fight afterwards, assuming that he wins. And it'll most likely be against Haye, or the winner of Fury/Klitcho. I mean, it's not like the heavyweight division is loaded. After Fury, Klitcho, Povetekin, and Haye, who is really out there?

He'll put up a good fight but won't win because he's bum SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!

Won't fight Povetkin because he failed the test, which is fine

But goes on to fight another fighter who failed the test? That's a joke

Whether its weed or traces of meldonium or whatever, you should be banned and not be able to challenge for a world title (paper or not) if you fail a test

Arreola is going to make history. He's gonna wreck that chin and solidify himself as a hall-of-famer.

Nobody knew pedvetkin was taking drug before it was his team that came out and said he took it in September before it was illegal, I guess wilder took a great guess and framed him on something his team admitted to taking in past without public knowledge

I was just talking chit by coming up with a conspiracy theory on how Haymon's henchmen framed Povetkin. I wasn't really being serious.

You never know, anything is possible.

But this is professional sports, and more likely than not when a guy pisses hot he is dirty.

I think Povetkin is dirty. I think Fury might be about the only top heavyweight who may be clean though.

Sergei Kharitonov, the MMA fighter who was photographed lifting weights with Povetkin, was suppose to fight in Bellator, and he pulled out of his fight due to "undisclosed illness" less then 24 hours before his fight and less than 48 hours after news broke of Povetkin's test results. Like that isn't a red flag or anything.

I'm pissed at those Russian cheats though for not getting their cycle/timing/masking done right.

I want to see your big dumb face when Arreola knocks the fried chicken out of wilder. Don't go in hiding pvssy

I'd laugh my ass off and chug a beer in honor to Areola if that happened, but it's not going to. It just isn't.

The amount of people who talk out of their a*s on here about Wilder ducking Povetkin is ridiculous. Wilder was going to the Povetkins backyard to defend his strap. Wasn't Wilders fault this guys popped. Now he gets a stay busy fight with Arreola.

With that being said Chris is shot. I hope he trains and this ends up being more entertaining than i expect it to be. Wilder by KO.

Arreola got penalized for failing his test. As far as I know he has served his punishment.

Also, marijuana is not a performance enhancing drug. If anything it's the opposite.

This is Cris-da-bums 3rd chance... 5th if you include interim belts.
