    Was arreola in better shape in usual or am I imagening things haha?
    I thought he looked good at the weigh in there was some resemblence at a 6pack which is pretty sick if you ask me.

    So we are praising Arreola for not being a fat *******???

    Every fighter should have a six pack, even Valuev has one under all of that Yeti hair.

    He was in better shape. Finally.

    But I'm pretty confident he would have beaten Seth within 3 rounds looking like he did against Minto.

    He looked better than we have seen in a while but he was still overweight. I don't expect he will maintain it for long he was lighter a couple of years ago yet still allowed his weight to rise again. Once the memory of the loss to Stiverne fades he will revert to the norm.

    Well he's a fighter and derserves some respect if comes to fight even if he's fat or not. Still it's always cool to see a person acually taking resposibillity for his situation and making the best out of it.

    It was the same with Tyson fury and derek chisora.

    I thought it was cool that he was in better shape than usual and still weighed about the same. It shows that building muscle and burning fat is possible.

    Why do people still drone on about Arreola's weight? The guy's never been a talent and him being lighter and in better shape was never going to make any drastic difference to his career.

    Six-pack? Really? He still looked like a fat load to me.

    He was in better shape but that's damning him with faint praise. At this point, you're pleasantly surprised when he isn't offensive to look at.

    He won in the first round, who knows how much better shape he was in. He seemed happy to take Mitchell out as early as possible, we didn't want a repeat of his last Performance. I have to give him credit, but not too much for koing glass jawed hype job Mitchell.

    He put far more work into his core, It didn't necessarily show in his weight, but
    he clearly shaved a couple of inches off. He shoulda did that years ago. smh.

    He looked like he was in much better shape than in his past few fights, where you could actually see lovehandles by his oblique section.

    He's always had a soft midsection, doesn't seem like he cares to get in the kind of shape of someone like Wladimir. But he looked good last night albeit against an overrated scrub in Mitchell.

    His aesthetics are embarrassing.

    I would be ashamed if I looked like that, and I don't do professional sports for a living.
    If I had nothing but time on my hands like Arreola, I sure as hell wouldn't look the way he's looking.
