He could have gotten up but he was going down soon there after. He is old and he got payed.....It was far from a dive though.
a 5 month retirement :-( his last fight he was a pound heavier and went 12 rounds, give chris some damn credit man.....sometimes things that you post are a damn joke
like who...according to 98% of esb, chris was supposed to get ko'd 5 fights ago....and tonight, nobody really gave him a chance.. and what contenders are out there that can possibly test him, besides chambers who even after beating sam peter many say is garbage......why not go for the big shot right now, i mean whoever chris beats aint gonna satisfy no one cause according to most, everybody is garbage :-(
So, now you know what a Wlad Klitschko fan has felt like all these years. Chris should fight Povetkin. If he wins that encounter he will get loads of respect and everybody will predict he will shatter Wlad's "glass chin" in the first round.
I thought Arreola may come a cropper tonight. He is perhaps better than I give him credit for, but I'm still not sold. Good win and he gets credit in my book for beating McCline tonight. I hope he does well but I think that Povetkin is the danger man in the division. Get these two animals in a ring together and it would be a helluva fight!
Jameel got tagged to the back of the head a few times and decided it's enough. Chambers in WBC eliminator would be logical.
You gotta love Arreola. Cool guy fighting 70 pounds North of his amateur weight and still going at it looking for the KO. I think 240 should be the best, but he keeps putting on the beating despite being overweight. I was impressed with his speed and combos which I didn't expect at 255 vs. a top15 HW. Very good body punching and the power is something every HW should watch out for.
