It is hard to get a read on Choppa. There are sometimes when I think, this guy is the best Super middleweight fighter in the world. Then there are times when I am like, man he needs to beat more of the top teir guys, because he seems like he is on the outside looking in. He will beat Mike Cope, then lose to Tai. I will think that I love his style and he but he doesn't win consistently enough, then he will rip of like 10 wins in a row. I will be like Choppa is a force then he will lose 2 of the next three.
I will always cheer for Choppa, but he is an enigma sometimes.

Hes just had shitty luck sometimes.
For instance his rematch against El Amrani when he was ripping him to shreds and then the low blow call which was from a pretty light inside low kick and he was DQ.
Same thing with Souwer, literally kneeing the shit out of him and then Souwer fakes a low blow and gets the DQ win. His corner was seen altering his groin guard in their changing room after the fight.
His controversial loss to Kraus, when I believe he had a great chance in that tournament.
Lol I dont want to keep going, and yes Arslan is also ocassionaly inconsistent but he is an awesome talent and its a pleasure to watch him fight. I was a bit dissapointed when he was KO'd in the first round against Choppa last time but I think it will be a good fight for both of them especcialy at 75kg.

Choppa has a bit of a choppy past :D but I would back him here at 75kg. I just think he is too fucking big to be cutting down to Max weights.

Yes, always thought of that too, he must have had incredibly hard times cutting all that muscle... It really hurts a fighter's performance level, the way he still had a lot of sucess shows hes a great fighter. His wars with John Wayne Parr were fantastic, JWP had the best of it last time, a very hard KO that shows just how good he also is...
I also like Arslan a lot, I'm still anxious to watch his MAX fight against JWP that never really got aired anywhere. I get the feeling 75 kg might be a very nice weight for both guys, this should indeed be quite a good fight!

I think that Choppa and Arslan going again in a single match would be interesting. Both fighters have their days and their off days but both guys bring out a great fight. I am sad that Spike and Prince are now off but Choppa Vs Arslan (full Thai rules) sounds nice.
