Arreola vs Kownacki should be fun while it lasts. Kownacki looks like a very limited but persistent pressure fighter who has power in both hands...kind of similar to what Arreola once was actually. I think given the mileage Arreola has on him will sink him UNLESS (in my best Teddy Atlas voice) he's the smarter fighter. Arreola is older he's got to fight smarter, he was once like Kownacki is right now so how would older Arreola beat a young version of himself with the tools he has now? I don't think he can but that's his best option.
Berto vs Cruz is probably the closest on here. I have no idea about Cruz but his last few fights haven't been the best. Berto is coming from a year long layoff so maybe he'll be fresh. Miguel Cruz lost to Josesito Lopez just last year a guy Berto TKO'd in 2015...Berto's last fight was a SD win over Devon Alexander which ain't a terrible result although Alexander had been on the slide. I think berto could pick up a W here.
Pacsal vs Browne.....like a sheep to the slaughter.
Dawson vs Rankin....well I'm thinking this is a warm up for Bad Chad dipping a toe back in the light heavy division to try and set up a fight vs a contender or maybe a big payday vs someone, anyone.
So Berto could possibly win and look good, but after that there's not much hope for him. Dawson should win if he's got anything at all left but after that not much hope for him. Pascal will get hammered, and Arreola will get into a brawl because he loves those as much as a buffet and he'll be in for an all he can eat smorgasbord of rights and lefts until he's stopped.
