Is Arreola Learning?

[Rantcatrat]

It is amazing to me that a guy can be considered a legitimate HW contender and he doesn't know how to throw a right hand. Or how to get inside, other than walking straight ahead. It seems like they taught him to throw a left hook and thought that should be enough. Really poor excuses for trainers.

You would think he would get a different trainer, he even tried Ronnie Shields out, but went back to Riverside. It's odd.

yeah he's learning that on Thursday afternoons, Dunkin Donuts has a 2-for-1 combo special

time will tell. I mean look at the guy he was fighting. Chris would have beat this guy weighing 110 pounds or 280. Is his skill set that is lacking not his conditioning. The fights he won at any weight he would have. Just like th fights he lost at any weight he would have. I don't think he's learning, he just listening to all the crap he's gotten about his weight. And when he fights the top comp it won't make any difference.

Well losing some weight certainly wont do him any harm , his conditioning in the past has been terrible ,Arreola is a decent second tier heavyweight , but if he is matched right he can be exciting . HE comes across as a good guy so if it extends his career and he makes a few quid good luck to him .

I believe Arreola can win most fights in the heavyweight division outside of the top 3-4 guys.
