So pretty much Arreola is fighting at his lowest weight since 2007 when he was coming onto the scene, personally I think it's great if he sticks with it. What do you think?

Remember when people thought this guy was the future hahaha

well, he made his run, didn't pan out. It's not like his career is over and it's not like there's much out there to compare him to. It's also not like he doesn't have a chance to get up there again. If he is really serious about his conditioning, he does have the hand speed and skill set to challenge for a title again.

I think he is poor and will never win a title. Just my opinion.

I never said win

Yea he was looking slimmer in those presser pics from about a month ago, but 234 is a litle suprising. Don't think he will ever win a title, but at least it seems he's taking it serious.

Never said you did.

I wonder how well Arreola will handle getting hit after such a dramatic weight loss. Some guys lose too much weight and then can't take a punch like Chris Byrd for example.

I hope Cris can turn his career around because I would still like for Wlad to fight him.

Chris Byrd dropped from HW to Light Heavy after he was old and done. This isn't comparable. Arreola didn't come down in weight all in one training camp. He weighed 249 for his last fight and then said he was 252 at his highest since then, instead of ballooning to his normal 280-285.

Having a fat gut doesn't make your chin better. Seeing as the fat bastard has probably only lost fat (and he still looks like an out of shape overweight fat fuck by the way) I don't think it'll change anything.

The reason why fighters punch resistance goes a bit when losing weight is when the fighter is actually weight drained, meaning the body is either malnurished or on the border of malnurishment. When malnurishment hapopens the body has gone into famin mode and is eating muscle rather than fat or ideally energy from food.

I don't think Cissy needs to worry about that.

Really he should be fighting where he belongs, cruiser weight. He just can't be arsed.

[El Kabong]

Well I know its not all from 1 training camp, but still I wonder about his ability to take a punch...until I see him handle a solid punch from a good puncher I won't believe it.

I still think Arreola needs a new trainer.

[El Kabong]

There are plenty of exciting fights for Arreola if he can right the ship: Chagaev, Dimitrenko, Boytsov, Helenius, hell I think an Arreola-Thompson match would be really competitive.

Arreola needs to go back to throwing more punches, more combinations....he could recover, he's got time.

One thing's for sure, Sam Peter isn't gonna be one of those names, He is done after his last fight

[El Kabong]

That's for sure man, Peter didn't even show up for Helenius....damn shame too because he could have held on a bit longer had his team made better decisions for him. He didn't need to take that big of a fight after taking the beating Wlad handed him.
