In one way the worst thing that can happen is that they somehow succeed in turning back the clock and are fed right back into the wood chipper that is the elite level as safe 'opponent'. For Arreola he's a bit like the run away train on the tracks. You know it's not going to end well and things are in danger but you just cannot refuse to watch. I thought he lost to both Kassai and Harper before Wilder and he knows this is the last stop with Kownacki. Style wise it will suit Arreola and he won't have to go hunting Kownacki. Martin held his own with Kownacki late and as nuts as it sounds..if one of the 3 fights listed possibly ends in an 'upset' I think this could be the one. Still like Kownacki to win though, but if it's easy peazy with no facial damage I'll be shocked.

Berto man where does one start. Honestly I raked Berto over the coals early on and have always seen him as an unfinished rushed product. The man was full of flaws and in a away was a pre Broner type. Talent obvious but the pieces never meshed. The difference also being Berto is a class guy and a friggin warrior regardless of gaps in his game. He's clearly on the recycling center conveyor belt and even at 35 and so inactive I give him a big chance with Cruz. Cruz hasn't done much since being schooled by Josesito Lopez and was found often with 2's and 3's. His best bet would be a grinding physical approach to Berto but not sure he's strong enough, low blows aside, or has the mental make up to cope with hand speed trying to get inside that even at this point has to favor Berto. Now watch him go and 1 brick poor ol Andre

What is it about an old soul nearing the end that we start to root for them. I did that with Pascal when he hung in with Alvarez and then took the undefeated over hyped Albiali out to the wood shed and battered him. But it's all very predictable, very fast and entertaining bombs first few rounds and then the legs go drunken giraffe stiff and stop working in unison. Not terribly impressed with at times dirty Marcus Browne but he should have enough to keep it smart and stronger down the stretch. And he still lost to Hot Rod

Have to add one. Antonio DeMarco v Jamal James in July. Whoever made that fight is a sadist, can't see anything other than a brutal brutal win for 6'2 James.
