Those comments at the end were a bit of a love-in all round really. Wilson got the title shot he wanted 6 months ago, but fell short, and Arslan will have a recognised American name on his record. Everyone's a winner, and most of them will have been well paid for it.

What about a Cunningham v Arslan unfication in a few months down the line? Cunningham has been known to travel well, and will probably bring more to the ring than ding a ling did.
