Comments Thread For: Chris Arreola Still Intent On Making Heavyweight History

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BIRMINGHAM--The past two years of Chris Arreola’s career has been much like his nickname – a nightmare. Boasting just one win in his last four starts as well as a second suspension stemming from a failed drug test, the veteran contender from California has exhausted the patience of many in the boxing industry. With that, there was little shock in the collective groan that was met with his being granted a crack at Deontay Wilder’s heavyweight title, their fight taking place this weekend at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama (Saturday, FOX, 8:00 p.m. ET).

I can see it happening, but I think Wilder is too good and has too much power but I don't think has a good chin both Spzilika and Molina wobbled him

He already makes history. he must be the only guy to never train, sit smoking weed and making bongs all day and gets an annual WBC title shot.

He must have some dirt on somebody and be blackmailing them when he needs a payday.

Areola is the Ron Stander of his era..IMO this bout is a joke even with his average skills Wilder should have him b4 ...6

It kinds of remind me of John Ruiz.

Arreola's back is against the wall here. Another loss and it's probably the end of decent sized paydays for him.

That desperation might push him to do something great. You never know.

I've ground on Arreola forever for his laziness in training... but in a way I now feel sorry for him. I hope he does well here, but the odds aren't good at all. I would say, just so he rattles or drops Wilder, he's been successful in this fight. That should give him a slight reprieve.

Not so sure about that....Arreola is tough as Nails has a very good chin and only been stopped once.
