I thought that fight was actually very close, Flores boxed better but Wilson clearly rattled him whenever he landed big, and that's with Flores trying to stay outside the whole time. With Arslan having a face first style this should be an excellent scrap. What are your thoughts on Arslan Johnny? Could he be an elite fighter? All I know is that he beat Virgil Hill recently. Don't even remember if he was able to stop him or not. Rep for the update.
Arslan says of himself that he doesn't have any talent...starting very late at age 18 with boxing...he did everything he achieved with hard work and an iron will and some 20 years later he is champion...Arslan isn't despite his style the most exciting fighter mainly because he lacks punching power...But he wears his opponents out...guard held high and punching on the inside he walks you down...I'm not a fan,but I respect Arslan...A win over Wilson would mean that Arslan is a worthy champ nothing more nothing less...
