Arreollllaaaa

[Spicoli]

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....

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.

Actually was the calmest Ive seen him go in a while.Could be good and bad.Hes trying to hone up his style,sit on the outside but maybe he should shed the xxl padding and stick with what brought him to the show.Good finish though,nice combination.

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

How many rounds did it take Klitschko?

took Wlad 10 rounds back in 2002 when McCline was a top 10 Heavy, and when he only had 2 losses not 9 like tonight, and both of those 2 losses were very early, and if you're gonna try and blow up that Arreola did it in 4 all i gotta say is Gary Bell

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.

i know you're not bringing up weight when you're arguing about Arreola, Chambers beating Peter although by MD is a bigger win than Arreola's tonight

Chambers looked solidly overweight in his fight against Peters. There is no denying that.

Sig bet if it happens? It is a logical fight actually. Chambers is coming off his biggest victory and Arreola is coming off of a big one. I'll take that any day of the week.

There is no denying that Arreola has many flaws and some of that is due to his weight. But, I stick by that he is always entertaining. He could fight Sultan Ibragimov and even if in loss, it would be an entertaining scrap. Moreover, he is probably the best Mexican American heavyweight ever.

He should stay way from the Klitschkos at least for another fight or two and meanwhile come down gradually in weight to 240. Chambers is a good fight for him.

[:::PSL:::]

He will be Wlad's nightmare.

McCline was retired and was offered a good amount of money to come back and fight Chris. He was there to collect a check as soon as things didnt go so well. He made an effort early on but he had that look of, well that enough for me when he was knocked down. He could have beaten the count but what would be the point. Just listen to the post fight interview he knew he was there to made Chris look good.

[TitoFan]

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.

[boozeboxer]

Man I thought it was funny they showed the Joe Frazier and Ali fight documentary before these fat fuckks fought. That is what heavys are supposed to look like. These guys make a mockery of pugilism.

First thing Chris has to do is change his last name. It just ain't right to be named after part of a woman's tit.

Or it could be referring to his tit.

Chris Mamary sounds nice. Sounds religous.

[The Fightfan]

My god the man has tits is what I first said then damn that man with tits is dropping bombs on Big Time. Impressed but not very impressed. He lunges entirely to much with the jab and leaves himself wide open for overhand right's all night long but he comes to fight.

I will say one thing I wish Haye throws the Klitschko contract away and sign's for Arreola. You want excitement this would be it and a perfect set-up to fight the champ. Not some cheap bullshit way on calling the champ out and getting a shot do to his big mouth. The public should push for this fight first being that Haye has fought no one in the heavyweight's worth anything. I would definetly go with Arreola by KO on that one. If everyone can see that these two need a few more fight's before fighting the Klitschko's. Don't you think they can see it as well? Oh well.

I dont really enjoy watching a fat heavyweight in the ring, seeing the fat around their wastes and man boobies jiggle with each punch thrown or received......

Was there every a heavyweight as fat and out of shape as Arreola that became undisputed champ

One came close. Two Ton Tony Galento who knocked down Joe Louis. Well it wasn't really close but damn that would have been funny.

[El Kabong]

I give Cris credit for doing what he was supposed to do despite how fat he is...the guy USED to be a light heavyweight as an amateur and now he's a pig of a heavyweight. Sure he KO'd McCline, but what if Jameel hadn't been on the fence about retiring, what if he came to fight and took Cris the distance and even worse what if Jameel had pressured Cris Cris is going to lose and soon, and it won't be because of skill as much as lack of training and taking fights seriously.....can you see him beating Wladimir when he comes in at 255?!?!?! I sure as hell don't! Wlad is in shape AND he's athletic enough to box circles around Arreola, who wouldn't last 5 rounds with Wlad unless he gets himself in better shape.

Eddie Chambers is fat because he has to be fat to be a heavyweight, he could easily fight at cruiserweight...but where is the money in that? I agree Eddie needs to work on his stamina, but bringing up more out of shape heavyweights only proves the points everyone is trying to make about why the division is so weak.


I agree with booze, no heavyweight PERIOD should look like Arreola or McCline did last night. They are supposed to be PRO athletes and they need to conduct themselves as such. You can run down the list of heavyweight champions and they have all been in great shape...even Old George Foreman, he was in better shape at age 45 than either of those guys in the ring last night and Evander Holyfield at age 45 is in better shape than those guys right now.

I want to say that fighters should get fined for coming into fights out of shape, but defining what "in shape" and "out of shape" is would be difficult....all I know is Cris is going to come across a fighter who will take the fight seriously and he's going to lose
