Both Arca and Corwynne entered this battle with one loss, but the stakes were much bigger than their records.
Arca believed he was the better player and was ready to put everything on the line. He made it clear that if he lost, he would walk away from basketball and crawl to Corwynne.
On the other side, Corwynne was tired of being seen as the underdog. He had something to prove, and this was his opportunity to change the narrative.
