Chris Arreola vs. Kendrick Releford & Tony Thompson vs. Maurice Harris RBR

It isn't polite to go around insulting someone's servers, however rinky dink. :yep Some folks are sensitive about those issues.

 

Yeah, saw that too. My bad. I'm just used to ESB dying during Pac/May/Cotto.. not Arreola against Releford.

 

The sad reality of the situation is that Chambers is a contender and Arreola is not ready (which is why he's fighting a tune-up opponent that's hardly ranked by the IBF) and Thompson is fighting another ranked IBF guy.
More importantly Goossen would not want to put his biggest HW money maker (Arreola) in a fight against two guys that might actually be able to beat him if he can instead make several runs at a Klitschko payday. Now, Tony is promoted by Goossen as well, but he's a spent force and quite possibly just as (un)popular as Chambers. If this was a chess game I'd say Goossen just made a pretty good move.

 

All 3 had their respective shots. And all 3 have one thing in common: Being TKO'd by a Klitschko.


Does anyone actually want to see any of those 3 against the Klitschko's.. again?

Hopefully after Adamek and Haye, the brothers either fight each other.. or retire.

 

:twisted: You think SNV's cardboard cutout needs his head to defeat some guy whose biggest win is Voidamir? c

But...I don't see my Beavis blowing on his thumb gif post! :fire

 

MEH! Arreola looked fine. He would lose to Povetkin. In fact that senario would be fine for me. The winners of Chambers/Thompson and Povetkin/Arreola get mandatory positions.

Povetkin has never been in that position before.





OH WAIT!!!

 

i saw a clip of him on utube, he looked slimmer

 

Arreola is good, but he cannot beat top 5 or even 10 heavyweights.

 

I don't care what other people say. Arreola is still a work in progress. He should have dispatched Releford sooner rather than later.

 

I think the 7th round was fine. Releford seems to have a pretty good chin, his only other loss by KO was to DaVarryl Williamson in the 9th round.
