    I don't think Arreola brings anything to the division that will provide a real test to any of the best guys

    Arreola was actually fighting ok before getting caught by Stiverne. As long as he's jabbing and really committing to that right hand he's still dangerous, but recently he's gotten really lazy and sloppy.

    Well at least he might make it interesting now he's in semi decent shape. He should blow Kauffman away easily if he has anything left, if he struggles then it's clear he's done competing at the top level.

    Arreola still looks flabby and got knocked down and hurt in this fight, good fight though, put down by a fatty. Kaufmann is winning so far in this fight through 4.

    No doubt. If he losses this fight hes probably done as a contender.

    Never fails. :deal

    Everytime we hear about Chris being lighter and in better shape he either goes down or gets wobbled in each and every fight.

    I didn't like what I saw in Arreola's recent interviews for this fight and my instinct was right, he seemed worn down from too many wars. I like Kaufmann's combination punching, I think he's winniing.

    He is done, unfortunately. Taking too many punishment.

    Arreola is done. That was pathetic. Flabby Kaufmann controlled most of the fight until he ran out of flabby gas in the 10th.

    That win did nothing to further his career. Embarrassing!!! He averaged 18 punches a round and he's supposed to be in shape. Meh!!!

    Kauffman deserved that fight. There was an opportunity to reward a fighter who seized his moment against a perennial underachiever in Arreola and Haymon rooked him just like he did Kassi.

    How the hell did Kauffman lose the 12th round?

    Arreola was rocked and did the chicken dance. He was lucky there was much time left in the round. He was almost knocked out.

    No way Kauffman lost the 12th! Some how Kauffman lost that round on all 3 judges scorecards making the fight an Arreola win instead of a draw.

    Actually it would have given Kauffman the win. Subtract one from Arreola and add one to Kauffman's score.

    The fact all 3 judges scored that for Arreola is a crime. Kauffman nearly had him knocked out and then had the pressure on for final 30 seconds. The round was basically even up to that point. Chris clearly lost that round. More Haymon ****!
    The guy that brings you Wilder Scott and Arreola the Teflon judge fighter

    Yeah, it is criminal to make someone do the chicken dance, almost knock the guy out and lose the round. There is no way Kauffman lost the 12th round or the fight. I dont care whatever the judges scored the fight, no way Kauffman lost.

    Typical Haymon. He will make sure whether by hook, crook or cherry pick his guys get the win. Feel bad for Kauffman fought his heart out just like Kassi and neither has a win to show for it. Appalling. But hey we got Wilder vs Szpilka to look forward too lol TOTAL JOKE
