Big props to Cris Arreola

[El Kabong]

I think 90 percent of those punches were jabs

....well I think Arreola had enough of them to stop the fight

[No Contest]

Cris "Crybaby" Arreola.....

[El Kabong]

So he got emotional about the fight...can you blame him? Better for him to have emotion than to fold up shop like Sam Peter.

Well first off it was a better fight then i was thinking it be. Vitail to me is better then his brother is his out put and footwork was great. I mean for his size and age I thought his movement was great. As for Arreola i think his reaction at the end of the fight and during the fight was refreshing. I mean i havent seen any passion in a hw fight against bros for a while now.

Agreed. I must admit though we all laughed and hit rewind 4 or 5 times to hear that tearful explanation ......." fuck!!!"

It was awesome.

[El Kabong]

Yeah the crying was understandable, he was fighting for history and for pride....he was emotionally invested up until the end which usually doesn't happen against the Klitschko's.

Wlad and Vitali usually beat the fight out of their opponents...that wasn't the case with Arreola, he kept coming forward and kept trying for the KO even though he was seriously overmatched when it came to skill, experience, and power.

I hope after the Klitschko's unify, they let a belt slip away to Cris Arreola, he deserves a shot at one vs someone he has a better shot at beating.

Agreed that was one thing I noticed myself, the footwork was impressive as hell, not too mention his stamina maintained itself.

What I liked even more was Vitali showed he can fight while on the move...That is something we don't see in the HW division often

[YIDDLE]

brave but should not of blubbed

[El Kabong]

Pay attention to the shit that means something and not the crying....if Michael Jordan can cry after winning a Championship then Arreola can cry after losing, give it a fucking rest already.

I agree, but people looking at the punch stats only shouldn't think he looked like Juan Diaz in there

[El Kabong]

If anyone looked like Juan Diaz it was Arreola (he was a little tubby still).

These are heavyweights, everyone knows the Klitschko's like using punches not always for effect but for strategy, for guys to move their guard around, and that's what it was. A couple left hooks, a couple uppercuts, a couple pawing jabs, or I haven't even figured out the term, but after Vitali has thrown a right cross and he punches again really quickly but with less power....whatever that is, he landed a lot of those too

[CFH]

Why are people ripping Arreola for crying? It's not like he broke down in the middle of the fucking fight and quit or something. He fought a tough fight, showed a ton of heart, and was justifiably upset when he was defeated. I don't see what the problem is.

Don't you understand!!! He cried!!! What a baby!! So what if he'd likely dreamed of that moment since he was a child only for it to disappear... he's not a real man, not like the REAL men on this board who just in case you don't know, DON'T CRY. It's not like he showed any heart absorbing 300 punches from 250+lbs of pure muscle. He cried & he quit. I'll guarantee you none of the hard men who mock him would of done either. They're REAL MEN.

It's one of those great things about boxing forums. They seem to be a magnet for men who are a mix of Arturo Gattiesque boxing heart, a Charles Bronson like emotional state & generally have the courage of your average SAS commando.

Maybe I should have used one of these smileys , although I thought the last paragraph & my general attitude throughout showed my attitude to whether he quit (just for you Daxx)
