Check out his record after his Bailey loss. Is staying busy and padding record the same thing? 2010: 2-0 2011: 5-1 2012: 6-0 Opponent's overall record 2011: 95-56 Opponent's overall record 2012: 83-56 http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=81797&cat=boxer
The fact that he's fighting every month, at least to me, seems like a 'stay busy' thing. That or, as a fighter he's making some changes and wants to try new things on live opponents (such as they are) and not in sparring.
some guys actually make a living fighting...they cant rely on fighting 1 time every 3 years and hope for a 900,000 pay day
What about Chilli pepper nose? After the Klitschko loss he supposedly wanted to get better and took some tuneups. 2-3 years later he is still fighting nobodies without any concrete plans to fight any top fighters. The dude lost my respect.
Well he did fight Adamek 2 fights after the Klitschko fight. But yes, Arreola needs to step it up. Maybe go over to the UK and expose some hypejobs.
Being very active is not the same as padding a record. Padding a record is fighting stiffs at the same frequency high calibre fighters take on real challenges.
I have been following Osei Bonsu for a while and being so active was actually a tactic to be noticed and get a title shot for a European belt. It worked out in the end so you got to give him credit. Unfortunately this streak of wins can lead to such selfconfidence that he might be taken on good quality opponents sooner or later which could get him in trouble again :think
