Bout Summary
Arslan pressed the action from the opening bell, but both were cautious early on. Wilson increased his workrate in round two and Arslan did likewise in round three. Arslan's pressure pushed Wilson back as he appeared to be imposing his will. Rounds five and six were dominated by Arslan, as Wilson mostly had no answers. With chances of a points win seemingly disappearing, Wilson started looking for a knockout as the bout progressed, winging big shots in the eighth round. Arslan responded in a punishing ninth round. Arslan landed almost at will in the tenth round, as he went on to win by unanimous decision.
