Glacial Improvements: Ben Rothwell v. Andrei Arlovski
(Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images)Heavyweight is an interesting division. Fighters tend to have one or two glaring holes in their game, then they add strengths around them. Or, they never change and stick to what makes them great.
On July 20th, 2019, aged heavyweights Andrei Arlovski and Ben Rothwell look to clash for a second time. Their last fight was in 2008, when Arlovski was heralded as a heavyweight striking god and Rothwell was the plodding giant.
I’m going to discuss how glacial improvements will determine why Rothwell will likely win the rematch against Arlovski.
