    I skipped right over that fight on DVR. I have no interest in watching a blubber war at the moment.

    Yep good fight

    Arreola may not be very good but he makes for good entertainment

    They should throw him on these type of cards more often

    I was happy, it looked like it was gonna be a typical mismatch walk over in a minute

    Harper landed the better artillery 2-6 and then couldnt close 7 and 8 when he needed it

    close fight the one score was way too wide

    Arreola got hit with some bombs that jarred his head neck and body around and for a long stretch he had no effect on Harper who seemed fearless

    I like a good tear up, if guys arent gonna be in shape or have the talent then at least have the guts to dig one out and thats what Arreola did though he should never have been in that position

    Its boxing though and thats why they fight the fights. Harper could have said, I was on tv, I got paid, and stayed down, he didnt he got confidence and let the hands fly. I wonder how he would have done if he wasnt short notice and had 10 less pounds on him, I think he could beat Arreola in a remathc

    A couple of Travis walkers fights including his Arreola fight

    Lamon Brewsters run with the title

    Takam vs Povetkin

    Mago vs Perez was a damn good fight

    Thompson vs Price II was a lot of fun

    Stiverne vs Arreola 2 was good too

    2 exhausted guys slapping each other by the end of it, it was an entertaining fight but it was hardly an amazing display of skill was it. If you think it was then you should go play tiddlywinks :good

    It was a very good fight. Arreola should be embarrassed for being so out of shape but the fight was still very entertaining.

    The whole card was quite good actually. All 3 fights delivered, even though the Lopez stoppage was premature.

    The whole card was better than the first PBC card(and I thought that was a solid card).

    All 3 fights were good and the announcers were much better. Haymon should consider using the Spike team for all his cards.

    It was a very entertaining fight.

    Both fighters showed incredible intestinal fortitude.

    It wasn't a fight, it was a scuffle.
