Minto tries to make fights happen, but he is just too small for this fight. Arreola would club Minto down in short order. What's not mentioned by Minto is that Arreola's last fight against Walker was in fact a IBF title eliminator. :pQuote:

Minto should chanllenge arreola to something more competetive like checkers or madden or something. Chris will knock minto block off inside of three.
Well let's look at it objectively, who else will Arreola fight on his April HBO date?
Wlad/Haye looks like it's going to happen in June.
Vitali is fighting Gomez in March.
Matt Skelton Is fighting Rogan at the end of the month.
Povetkin is fighting Estrada in April.
Tony Thompson
John Ruiz
Sam Peter
Brian Minto
Oleg Maskaev
Alexander Dimintrenko
Lamon Brewster
Hasim Rahman
Nikolay Valuev
Eddie Chambers
I guess there are a few options.
Cris beats the technically limited Minto with ease IMO.
Mintos a nice enough guy,gives it a go and not hesitant to travel abroad...But Arreolla would ball him up like dirty laundry,spank him badly.
Arreola vs. Peter would not be half bad.
The problem is that the April 11th date will be the Williams/Winky undercard. That means there probably is not enough money to get a bigger name in there like Peter.Quote:

This is an HBO PPV Undercard, isn't that exactly what they want?Quote:
