Even if he still lost, I think Witherspoon could have had a better showing. He's much too slow in the ring, too bulky. You can look at him and see he could easily shed 15 lbs and probably keep the power he rarely displays. The guy can box, he just got stormed by someone jumping on top of his head and not letting up. If he tighted up his defense and took off some of that weight (and maybe learned how to clinch) he could cruise by a flabby-flab-flab like Arreola. As it stood neither guy would do well against top level competition.
