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.
You know what's funny him and I were weighing in the same time he was 235 and I was 238 that was May 20th through June 6th. He said he didn't even start his roadwork like I said earlier. He came into the gym one last time on June 11th and was 232 lbs. The next time I seen him was in the ring on Saturday and he was what 220 lbs.Something tells me I think he was a little drained,and left the fight on the road.He just didn't look like the same counterpunching machine I seen in the gym.This is why I had such high hopes. I thought a brawler like Arreola would never do what he did on Saturday.IMO it was an easy win by simply counterpunching Arreola to hell and back.
