How did Arreola manage to gain so much weight, he just fought less than 3 months ago...and he should have been in training camp for this fight at least 8 weeks. Win or lose against Minto his career is headed down the gutter unless he turns it around fast. I don't really care for him, after the way he acted when he lost to Vitali, but it's still sad to see someone give up like he's doing. Remember at the Vitali weigh in, he had that vest on as a joke. Well, he's now closer to the weight of that vest, than he was on fight night against Vitali.
He doesn't care about training and can't stay away from food. He hasn't been doing his roadwork it seems. I'll still root for him though:bbb
He did not gain. He lost. Yes, he is heavier if you compare him to his fighting weight at Klitschko weigh-in, but he gained a lot since then. Like he always does. Then he trains to lose it. His problem will never get any better. He might have the odd weigh-in surprise, but he will generally get heavier and heavier.
So much for his supposed to committment to serious training. I think the way he looks now is more or less the way he will look throughout the rest of his career. He'll never be ripped or athletic looking it seems.
PLEASE...The man has lost to one guy and THATS THE BEST HW IN THE WORLD....He is a good fighter with a lot of potential..He is lazy, yes...but if he gets that out of the way he could hold a title one day and have a few defenses of that title...HARDLY A DISGRACE
Gaining 12lbs, when you just fought in Sept, is disgraceful. Being lazy, when you are fighting for hundreds of thousands of dollars is disgraceful. If the loss to Vitali didn't wake him up (along with all the crying in the ring, etc...), nothing will.
Again, you have to expect this. With age it will just get worse. He may be a disgrace, but not because of this weigh-in. We have to learn to predict these guys. Most heavyweights with weight problems follow a basic pattern, and it leaves many disappointed.
**** peter lost to wlad and vitali,, and chambers most consider him a top 5 heavy and everybody says peter is pure ****
