These rounds are good for Arreola though, don't you think?

Yes, very good for him. If I were managing him I'd try to get a top 10 opponent in the ring in 2-3 months. If you can't get any such guy (which is freaking doubtful because almost all decent HWs are sitting and waiting for the lottery ticket that comes with fighting a Klit or Haye; yes I'm talking about you Povetkin, Boystov, Chagaev, Dimitrenko, Chambers, etc...), then I get him back in the ring quicker and keep him sharp.

Thjat's enough. This is no longer competitive.

Releford's corner needs to consider how long they let this go.

It's about time it got stopped.

Good night for Arreola and Releford performed admirably as well.

Good fight.

So Arreola vs. thompson perhaps?

here's a jewel from 2009

Is it me or does Arreola still look fat? :p

I think it was good for him to get rounds under his belt. I think he should stay busy and try and fight 3 times more this year. Two more stay busy ones and maybe a few more pounds shed and then a shot at someone in the top 5.

He's never going to be slim. Just a big dude. I'd like to see another 5-10 gone though.

I'm not sure 2-3 fights is enough to keep him fit. He may need to fight every month just to pin him in the gym and away from Brger King.

Oh definately, there's no substitute for staying busy in the ring and getting some rounds under your belt.

The Klitschko bros will eventually retire and Chris might be able to pick up a trinket.

I think his weight is good for him, he just needs to turn it into muscle. Someone get him doing some strength training...doubt he's done many crunches in his training.

His timing and movement really improved as the fight went along I thought. There is real talent there.

Thanks everyone, I'm out!

I liked Arreola tonight too. I missed his last fight so my last impression of him was as a bloated mess.

Tonight the difference was stark. He looks much leaner,almost in shape.

I'd like to see him in with David Haye, a fun fight imo.

Also I'd fancy his chances in a rematch with Adamek if he stayed in this shape.

I'd quite like to see him in with Michael Grant too. Good crossroads fight there.

Solid scrap and good to see an active heavy. Releford did what he could and wasn't a total waste of a good pair of gloves. Chris needed to go some rounds in new form. Not to mention he was only two weeks off a camp and fight.

He always makes for give some-get some type fights but at the end of the day losing weight is great, he was faster but its the skills he needs to gain or he'll just be same song different day and stumble at top. The leaner Chris didn't eat less leather really.

I was impressed with Releford considering his record. He was a really tough SOB tonight. Showed some real grit. I do not know why he chose to lean in with his gloves up on Arreola and take a beating, when he should have been on his toes boxing, the man had a really good jab.

Arreola looked a lot fast and much more active than usual. Pretty good fight.

The Thompson fight was a farce.

Arreola looked good tonight, he better get a title fight soon as I cannot see him stay disciplined enough to stay in this condition.

I don't think he is ready for it though. Wlad will likely beat Haye and Vitali has the other belt. Arreola simply isn't good enough to beat either of those guys and let's not forget who he has been fighting with this 'streamlined' figure. He should fight someone like Thompson first, at least someone decent in the top 6.

True get better opposition but it just has to be quick before Thanks giving or some big holiday. :)

If Haye or Adamek beats either of the Kliktschko's, a fight with Arreola would be fun. I don't see Arreola beating the Klitschko's. I would like to see him in against one of the Russians: Povetkin, Chagaev, or Ibragimov.
