Fancy whining over not getting a ppv date when you can't sell out your home town. And you have the country to yourself. lol Just retire Joe. He might be the best fighter of my generation that I never really cared about.
Here's another couple of whispers for you... Nipples Arreola v Sam Peter is being discussed for May 2009, in LA... And a well known Qld promoter rang just about everyone trying to get a local fight for Ranee Ganoy. The only person interested was Onikeke but he can't make 61kgs. Might have to wait awhile to see Zapp v Ranee boys...
I think Arreola is overated, looked shocking in his last fight. He has said he never checked his weight in camp because it didn't matter, his diet must have consisted of soda and twinkies, has a lot to learn if he wants to be considered world class, like how to be a profesional athlete. You gotta feel for Ranee was hung out to dry in SA, and will have nightmares trying to get a fight here, why would a prospect risk it.
Not really. He had signed with the promoter and had ALL the favours. Besides his opponent not making weight, Ranee had a great chance to win. He lost his head in the fight and paid for it. No one can be blamed for it.
Even though Arreola looked pretty ordinary in his last fight I'd still love to see him fight Peter. Would be an entertaining fight thats for sure.
Would be a good slugfest, but has a long way to go before getting in the ring with Wlad, which looks like it might happen next year.
