Kownacki is big large and in charge. Stop hating on that body beautiful man
I'm not hating on him I love the guy, but he can't just keep getting fatter! I picked him to be the next champ, him and the big baby, long ago, as soon as i saw him fight Szpilka. Maybe he thinks it's good enough for Arreola.
I admire the gentlemanly sportsmanship between him and Arreola. Too bad there is so little of that now.

Think he just had a kid. Forgive him if he has a bit of baby weight left.

Kownacki's optimal weight is ~109kg he had vs Szpilka. 120kg is far too much.

Considering he said that he turned down the AJ fight because he wasn’t in shape, I just wonder how overweight he must have been if he considers this “in shape”...

Kow is super fat for this one. Arreola probably has four or five good rounds in him.

Right on 1 wrong on 2.
Kow was too fat and all in his belly. He needs to show up at least 20-25 pounds lighter for his next fight and then he'll be much faster and more impressive. Then he'll beat up on Wilder, but not with that belly.
Great sportsmanship between the two. I wish there was more like that, but ever since that fraud Clay-Ali, screaming in the opponent's face has been the thing to do in US and to a lesser extent UK boxing. Arreola was in great shape, the best I've ever seen him. Most gentlemanly too. Hope he doesn't retire now.

A good fight. Arreola was well prepared. It could be closer, if not the hand injury.

Probably about as well conditioned Arreola has ever been. Kinda a shame he waits until the sport has damn near used him up to get into better condition.
Good fight, I imagine how exciting it was will be exaggerated due to the punches thrown record being broke. People always acted like Tua vs Ibeabuchi was better than it was too.

Ike vs Tua was more impressive to me for punch output because they were actually loading up on shots and not just pitterpattering. It was a bit overrated though--fights with high punch volumes tend to be. They often have no real shift or dramatic moments and both guys can throw so much because neither can hurt the other.

It wasn't a great fight. Literally the same thing round after round with no one really being in trouble. Kind of waiting for one fella to peeter out, but it never happened. Tua vs Ibeabuchi was incredible with regards to the sheer amount of power punches being absorbed by both guys. I don't want to watch it again, but it was far better than this.

The two fights are the same to me. 2 guys throwing and landing a lot of punches, nobody ever getting hurt, no drama. The only difference being Tua actually deserved the nod over Ibeabuchi IMO.
The decision was correct this time.

Both fights were good, neither ever needs to be rewatched.

Tua vs Ibeabuchi was better, cause it was more competetive. Arreola had a lot of moments, but Kownacki still won more convincingly, than Ike, in my iopinion.

Kow is obviously very strong and takes a punch very well and throws many punches from many angles, and .he is a lot more impressive when he trims down and then he's faster and then he'll become champ just as I predicted. I have never yet predicted anything incorrectly, except for the times when reality fails to align itself properly with my predictions.
