I think Arreola is a disgrace and a ****ing buffoon and if he is a taste of things to come then I want no part of it. The man has absolutely no class, cursing again in an interview. The kind of idiot that I just dont want to watch. A fat lowgrade classless piece of ****.
na, nobody but farmboxer and mexicans think that. he's only saying that to inflate vitali klitschkos career.
Oh, for sure, I gotcha. I'm just saying that if power & gameness is all it takes, it's EXTRA atsch for HW.
Arreola brushed off everything Minto landed on him, and then dished out a colossal ass whooping to end the fight. All due respect to Minto, but this fight was essentially a formality after the first round. We're all sick of Arreola coming in fat and then giving a jolly fat man post fight interview about his passion for Mexican food, but that's no reason to put on goggles and pretend a fight happened that didn't. Tua - Arreola would be an absolute war for the short time it lasted, and given Arreola's willingness to bang, he'd give Tua the exact kind of fight Tua needs to be successful. It's an unbelievably fan friendly fight that really ought to happen. I'd favor Arreola but would probably pick Tua also.
:goodyeah i was exaggeraiting a bit by saying that's all he needs to be top 10. he's also got a very good chin. plus his power is not just very good but he delivers it pretty often (at least agiainst lower ranked guys) unlike other powerful punchers like briggs, peter, rahman, and guys like that. in short i don't think top notch power and 'gameness' is all arreola has (but not too much more) so to say he's a top 10 guy doesn't mean it's all that bad for the division. But i still wanna see how arreolla does with any other top 10-15 fighter not named klitchko (he still really hasn't beaten one)
actually farmboxer, with all due respect. watch both fighters closely and u'll agree eddie chambers is currently the best american HW:thumbsup
Arreola is going the same way Sam Peter went. Capable of much more but don't care enough to do it. They'll be happy just collecting paychecks on a myth rather than live up to it.
atsch WTF? What fight did you watch:? MINto hurt Arreola huh? Quit hating on Arreola and hugging Tuas nuts. WHo has Tua beatin this century? Maybe it was the ko over a washed up Moorer in 2002? Well wake up guy this the decade is coming to an end and Tua hasnt beaten anyone in ages. Minto is a helluva alot better than any one Tua has fought recently. If you think Minto hurt Arreola,im really curious to what your definition of a hurt fighter is. I missed the fight last night since i attended the Clipper Pacers game and Read this post last night. Man I should have known better than to trust Some of the Posts on Esb. I woke up this morning to catch the replay expecting to see a Shitty Arreola,and I didnt see that I thought Chris looked Surprisingly fast for 262,he does have to tighten up his defense once he faces some bigger punchers,but hey at least hes got a great chin which he proved against Vitali. Hes still the most exciting heavyweight to watch,his style is exciting and I thought it was a good fight. Minto also showed some balls and good combos he was just outgunned by the biggerman.
unless your mexican or have been watching boxing for a month, then this post would be somewhat justified, and i really hope thats the case. otherwise, ill stop posting seeing as you wouldn't know a "brilliant performance" even if it kicked you in the face with a steel-toed boot. arreola lokked terrible against an opponent he was supposed to completely dominate. that wasn't the case, arreola just proved to be the stronger puncher between the two and nothing more. minto landed up to 37% of his punches while arreola landed around 43%, so going by the compubox stats alone it wasn't a dominating performance. when minto had arreola against the ropes he staggered him with a big right hand and arreola managed to survive. minto?? who the **** is minto? the guy is a feather fisted over-sized infant and still managed to give arreola a tough fight. ****, even shane cameron as much of a nobody he is would slap the **** out of minto.
How was that an ugly performance? Arreola is an ugly man no doubt. He won every round, busted Minto up and then knocked him out. It was a very good performance and a good comeback fight.
what does an unofficial knockdown that wasn't really the result of a punch but balance issues have to do with anything??
are you serious???? Tua went down from that punch and you can see in tua body reaction he was stunned when the punch landed and the he went down
