Arreollllaaaa

Now what?

Dominated Jameel McCline. Exciting like a heavyweight should be. At 255, dropping combinations like it was nothing. Took a punch to land one and dominated Jameel.

The NightMare!!!!

Has Jameel ever been knocked out like that?

yea by Klitschko

Not bad company.

I thought he looked good, but Jameel is hard fighter to gauge off of. I'd like to see him with a Ibragimov/Povetkin/Chagaev type fighter. I think he is still 1-3 fights away from being ready for the Klits brothers.

I'm sorry, but he won't probably ever ready for the Klitschko brothers, they move too much, and they are too elusive. That movement will limit his combinations, both of their jabs will pick him apart. Samuel Peter might not have his chin, but IMO he was faster when he was fresh than Arreola, and he couldn't find Wladimir when he came in at 244 not over 250. For Arreola to stand a chance he needs to drop below 225.

Back when it meant something.


"The Nightmare" is going to be when Cris has to fight for more than 4 rounds! And that's when those combinations won't be flowing like they were tonight. I hate to rain on the parade, but Cris only did what was expected and nothing more.

exactly what i was thinking, that's why i was pointing out that Klitschko already brutally knocked him out, i already had McCline at journeyman status against Peter, but i can't take away from Cris he has power, but he also got whacked cleanly a bunch of times against a fighter who isn't known as a hard puncher, IMO Chambers beats Arreola, and both Klitschkos knock him out

I'll take that Chambers bet any day of the week.Chambers who came in out of shape and overweight in his last fight and is a significantly small heavyweight.

How many rounds did it take Klitschko?

[Hunter]

Keep in mind McCline was retired and came in on 6 weeks notice. He is not a top ten Heavyweight.

I think it was a good win for Arreola but I am still not convinced he will be a champ. I think either Klitchsko will KO Areolla with relative ease.

I think if he actaully trained harder and came in better shape he could be great but he doesnt appear to have the discipline to be a champ.....

Just my opinion....

[VictorCharlie]

the guy needs to be @ 230ish no question about it

I don't know...
Heavyweights have more leeway to move up and down in weight to suit the particular need. Arreola's coming in at 250+ didn't exactly hurt him against McCline, who came in at 270+ himself. Against a better, lighter, faster opponent, yes...... Arreola had better come in around 230-ish.

I agree to an extent. But, how much more fun was that to watch than a Klitschko fight?

And who else beats him other than the Klitschko's?

Did this victory not make you think that given the current crop of heavyweights, he may fare pretty well.
