    aint it that pathethic biased hbo highlight, that after watching without actually seeing the whole fight you would think arreola dominated the bout, when in reality he didnt win more than 3 rounds max?

    Anyway, yes those kind of matchups has to happen more often. honorable mention to Chambers-Povetkin, Chambers-Dimitrenko and hmmmm cant think of anymore recent contender against contender heavyweight fights.


    Thats why Haye is a huge dissapoinment now, he could fight somebody with a pulse, participate in an exciting bout which could bring the life to the heavyweights again, but instead he's fighting once a year against bums.

    Am I the only one who didn't find this fight to all that entertaining? I mean, it was an ok fight, but a lot of people are making it out to be an all action, superb brawl when in reality (to me at least) this fight was sloppy as hell.

    next to most all klitschko fights...valeuv fights, ruiz, chagaev, ibragimov, sinal sam, povetkin, tony thompson, juan carlos gomez, eddie chambers........you get the point...this was the hagler-hearns when compared to any of the top guys fights in the last 5 years i would say....
    but yes, i agree with you, it was an average fight in general, but by todays standards very good...been so long since there has been a good one, it just looks all the better

    Haha, yeah I guess you're right. Sad to see how far this division has fallen in recent years.:-(
