Over, definitely over. He's been well over his last 3 fights and, even if he tries to shape up, it looks like he's starting from a higher weight and he only has time to do so much.
you would think w/ all that is at stake for him in the thin hw division (thin meaning talent wise mind you) and his opportunity to really make a splash he would at least consider a certified nutritionist instead of the advice from the guy behind the counter at the in and out burger
Chris at the Mexican buffet: Arreola: "You mean I can eat as much as I want, and it's still just $5.95 no matter how much I eat?" Jose the Waiter: "Yes Sir! You can eat all day and it's still only $5.95" Arreola: "Hmm thanks bro, I better get going then, I'm starving!"
I wonder if Larry Holmes got in Arreola's ear like he did in advising Johnson to bulk up? Personally, I think Larry might've just been ****ing about for his own amusement...
Damn I voted for under! I wish I had seen this pic first. I like Arreola but this is way too big a step up in class for him. I expect Vitali to probably harpoon this whale like he did Kirk Johnson by the fourth round.
Fat means NOTHING. Sumo wrestlers are some of the greatest athletes in the world. There's tons of rock hard muscle hidden under that fat. Lay off Chris.
I'd say he shows up in the same 255lbs he did in his last fight. He's freaking fat but he's got a specific conditioning coach now and Ramirez said he is working out twice as much time. Pipe dream, but I would really like to see Arreola at 240lbs for this one, and sharp, that way we would have the fight we are all wanting to see.
The length of Sumo matches tends to be counted in seconds. So we can expect Arreola to be competitive for the first 30 seconds? Hooray for the HW division!
What an idot! Oh well, I say under 250lbs. BUT he will get knocked out. (But i'll still push for dude, Why not....Shake **** up)
No he is 265 pounds . he says he will come in at 245 pounds so he only has 20 pounds too loose . he is in good shape he is just carrying an extra 20 pounds which is normal for a fighter in between fights.
To be honest he could come in at 225 because it is not gonna matter. This guy does not have the speed or skills to deal with Vitali. I think he is going to jab him and start dropping big rights on him early. I think that this will be a stoppage between rounds 1-3.
