Wilder should take few more fights to improve his skills before taking on arreola... because right now I think arreola owns him...
This is the first fight, between US heavyweights, I am truly interested in seeing in some time. Arreola is as durable as I've seen, sucking up punishment like dry bread sucks up water. He might be world class but he is not at the highest level, in my opinion.
Wilder has this monstrous right hand that seems to have goodnight written all over it, plus he is big with good reach, but that's about all we know about him. It's hard to get a good read on a boxer when his fights don't last longer than three rounds.
I'm hoping Arreola will give Wilder a good fight and maybe make him struggle a little. I have high hopes for Wilder so I really don't want Arreola to beat the shit out of him or KO him. I don't believe Arreola will ever hold one of the big belts as long as the Klits are around, but Wilder is this mystery that might be able to get the job done. Hey, it's possible, isn't it?
Hell, everybody knows that heavyweight belt belongs in the USA! Just kidding, just kidding.
