    True enough, but taking a knee doesn't always help you. Sometimes you don't make it to the knee. He needs to work on his defence.

    You are right. I just like that he thinks in the ring. He does not lose his composure under heavy fire. Of course it is much better to avoid those punches.

    If he continues to attack his opponents like he attacks them quesadillas, he'll be world champ real soon.

    Arreola said a similar thing before the Mcline fight but nothing manifested itself. I'll take this with a pinch of salt which is a shame because he genuinely has real potential.

    I like Arreola a lot, he is very friendly and he takes time for his fans.

    If he was in better shape, he could really help the American HW scene, him being mexican american and a spanish speaker.


    At the same though, I was ****ing ashamed when he fought McCline. How you can call yourself a professional athlete and be that ****ing fat is beyond me. Its was bloody apalling

    LOL this dude speaks the truth and he is funny. I like this dude and I hope that he becomes the next Heavyweight Champ, but like all the other American Heavyweights they don't have the fire and desire to become the best they just like all the publicity and the stardom they have.

    I would much more appreciate it if he took that time to GET IN ****ING SHAPE INSTEAD! Why the **** can't a professional, talented athlete be in shape like even a desk worker like me? It's so pathetic yet frustrating...

    This post pretty much sums it up. A lot of people aren't pissed with Arreola because he's out of shape for the sake of being pissed. The thing is Arreola could be such a major asset to this sport with his personality, big power and somewhat likable story but instead he's sort of blended in with the sea of blubber in the HW division.

    These fat HW's are a disgrace. They are well paid by boxing fans and are spolit brats who can't control themselves. Maybe if they got AND stayed in shape they might get closer to Vit and Wlad. Can anyone imagine them putting 30 pounds on in between fights?

    Perhaps. I'm not a big fan because I don't think he is that good.

    Still he's got power, he's personable and he's a latin HW. That's pretty much a blank check in boxing.
