Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Wish it Was Povetkin, Now I Focus on KO'ing Arreola

I agree with your post in the main, but I can't see this being in any way an entertaining fight unless you enjoy early round blowouts or amusing chicken dances. Arreola is so far gone at this point that I doubt he even manages to mount an offensive before getting blitzed. It's going to look like one of those early Wilder performances where his opponent is one-sidedly beaten down and everyone is left with a feeling of disappointment that that was all there was.

Put Wilder against Mansour or Jennings or someone like that if he wants an entertaining and competitive fight. This is just a typical mismatch.

Hey I like that Mansour call, cause he will definitely try to mount an offense. But lets be honest, this leftover was all about finding a name, and Chris Arreola brings a name and usually great entertainment, you're right whether he gets splattered or not! It's all good man, enjoy this free fight!

To enhance his performance, obviously. That isn't the issue though. The issue is whether or not the results indicate residual traces from before the ban, or evidence of post-ban use. That's what this whole situation hinges on.

Provided he's cleared and passes all subsequent tests, there's no reason Wilder can protest this fight.

It's an issue to me. In my opinion this situation suggests he's been gaining an unfair advantage for a while. Besides, I'm curious to hear what his camp has to say.
