    Arreola isnt as good as some have praised him to be. Actually i think he's ordinary. Feed him to Vitali next please.

    I quite enjoy watching him fight Ippy. He's had the "future of the division" **** put onto his shoulders by the media and those around him.

    He's got quite a refreshing attitude and is a passionate Mexican-American heavyweight. Something we don't see much of.

    I'd also like to see him in better shape but hey...this is the heavyweights!
    :rofl

    If you haven't watched "HBO Sports Ring Life: Cristobal Arreola" all three parts are here:

    I think you'd like it mate.

    Cheers

    Don't get me wrong Zelk, he's an exciting fighter. I just despise fighters, especially Heavyweights, that look like they don't give a **** by not turning up in shape. If they don't care, why should I?

    Mate, Its tough to blame the fighters... Just remember, the arseholes in the promotions departments are doing all they can to sell these fights to people on PPV etc. There's plenty of scum involved in these bouts...

    Its never much fun to watch 2 blubbers being belted and seeing the wastelines looking like jelly. Its the state of the game though mate.

    The H/W scene is dominated by 2 brothers, 1 neanderthal and a pom with the promise 'taking over the division' whilst in a delirious steriod frame of mind.

    Things dont really look any better than the early 80's...

    yeah im pretty pissed at arrelos weight. but he thinks this weight suits him, which is a lame excuse for him being out of shape.
    im stil a fan of chris but he isnt putting in 100%. so he deserves a KO loss to wake him up.

    McCline looks in good shape compared to recent outings.

    Because when they are trying to punch as hard and with the passion that Arreola throws with we should always give a **** brutha!

    I know what you mean about the man boobs though. No reason to be that ****en fat.

    Arreola is ordinary. He would get totally schooled by the top guys at heavy imo. His conditioning is a disgrace.

    I think it will still be an exciting fight, but I am disappointed in both their weights. This is not supposed to be Sumo Wrestling!

    Sam Peter is a good example of what happens to a fighter when weight just gets out of hand... Even (OMG I have to mention it) Erik Esch let it get out of hand...

    But there so many more examples. The Lavish lifestyles these athletes lead are to blame, but the trainers should also get on their backs about it too, but they dont quite often and just want the paycheck at the end of the day...

    :huh If it's not the fighters responsibility to turn up in shape, who's is it?

    I dunno whether Haye is on the roids or not. Since I've seen him as an amateur, he's always been extremely well built. Regardless, at least he turns up in shape.

    McCline looks like a juicer gone bad. Compare him to how he turned up against Klit. Night and day...

    Ippy the same guy who was doing conditioning for Vargas pre De La Hoya fight also used to work with McCline in those days...wink wink.
