Heavyweight veteran and three time title challenger Chris Arreola took on the up and coming power punching Adam Kownacki in what was looked at as crossroads fight for both men. The 38 year old Arreola was trying to prove that he still had what it takes to compete at a high level against the top fighters in the division while Kownacki was looking to prove that he was a threat to the big names in the division and worthy of a title shot.
