He was horribly inaccurate and most of the punches were love tops. Also he was hit way too much. The true test of his conditioning came when he got the bum down on the canvas twice and couldn't finish the job or at least press him adaquatly. Simply put, Arreola is not top 5 material, even in a doo doo division.
Arreola is totally superior to Haye anyday. He had the b*lls to get into a ring with Vitali and tried with all his heart. Haye does not have b*alls not heart.
Haye is one of my least favorite active boxers but he has more talent in one cornrow than Arreola has in the entirety of his disgusting 250 pounds.
In a division of duckers, Arreola fights anyone and gives 100%. Yes, he doesn't give 100% in preparation, but the guy is entertaining every time. You can't say that about Any HWs at this point.
Arreola tries to win, he needs a new trainer, a nutrionalist, and he needs to hire a full time chef...at least he could hire someone to cook his meals every day during camp.
HAHAHAHAHA , this is the problem when you base your opinion on compubox ... did you even watch the fight? The guy looked softer and sloppier than ever... he was huffing and puffing for air the entire time. He was getting tagged left and right... he couldn't KO a guy who was tailor made for him. I am an Arreola fan, but come on man... don't be so ignorant. The little training montage that they showed before the fight ( with chris wearing jewelry and throwing a medicine ball around ) was probably the only training he even did for this fight.
True .. no one questions Arreola's heart in the ring .... his heart in the gym is a different story... clearly his heart lyes with drinking beer and eating well
There are thousands of boxers with "heart". Why the **** does everyone insist on this being a special quality in Arreola? :huh He doesn't have any more heart than your average hard-working hard-luck journeyman. Quit the apologist nonsense - he has no redeeming qualities as a boxer.
can someone please tell me since when there was a wbc mexican heavyweight title? did they just create it for last night's fight because both fighters were heavyweights and were mexican so whoever won would have represented the belt. and if areola fights a non mexican in his next fight and loses like sam peteres or eddie chambers, does that mean peters or chambers is the new mexican heavyweight champion?
Chris put in 12 rounds of work. Calling someone who can do that "a pathetic blob" is way over the top. When were you last ranked top 10 in your division?
This guy needs to get rid of that fat trainer. He needs a real trainer not an eating partner at the buffet. He also needs to get the **** out of California the next time he trains. Some place where they don't have burritos in every corner. I still have hope for him but the window is closing rapidly.
