Arreola in September for Wilder?

[ross]

When the venue is announced before the opponent you can almost guarantee its gonna be a ”gimme”. I knew it wasn’t gonna be anyone good like Povetkin when they said where

Wilders next fight is gonna be. Looks like he wants another easy defence before taking on a challenge but if it is Chris Arreola that’s a step up from what I was expecting. Hes lost twice to Stivern once by KO and is in terrible condition but that still represents a massive step up from Wilder and probably his second best opponent in his career.


You wouldn’t pick Arreola to win although I can see him giving a similar effort to Molina if not better. Wilder would need to follow the blueprint of how Vitali beat Chris because unlike Molina Chris could make him pay for missing with huge swings. Hes got to be patient and wear him down slowly. Theres a chance of an upset if Chris gets lucky and it’s a dangerous opponent for Deontay but logic suggests he should get the W here and set up a proper challenge with Povetkin.

Im presuming you meat for and not from but seeing as Stiverne beat Arreola its a step down again.

Lets see how Chris looks in his "tune up" fight first. In his last he looked horrible, fat and hurt and like he didn't give two shats.

I get a hometown boy turned champion wanting to give back, enjoy the local fans etc..but Wilder needs to now get the hell outta Alabama if he ever hopes to grab massive attention and demand.
