Chris Arreola, like Luis Ortiz, met with Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) and Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) in the pro ring, and, like a Cuban, bets on Wilder in their possible fight.
“I told everyone that the Helenius fight was easy money for Wilder. And now I'm saying Wilder will just kill Andy Ruiz," Ortiz said recently. Now, in a similar tone, only in milder terms, Arreola spoke, who lost ahead of time to Wilder and Ruiz on points.
Wilder and Ruiz have been named opponents by the WBC in a mini-tournament to select the mandatory contender for the heavyweight championship belt. They both won their semi-final bouts and should theoretically fight next year in the World Boxing Council's final eliminator.
“Wilder will win this fight. With all due respect to Ruiz, he beat me, but he definitely didn’t beat me. And those judges' notes were fucking bullshit. I hit a lot then, and if Ruiz had taken such blows from Wilder, he would have been carried out of the ring. I would like to see such a fight, but I bet on Wilder in it, ”Arreola said.
