Chris Arreola's power

[FinitoElDinamita]

I have really heavy hands. At 47, its about 30 years too late to go into boxing. But I do have regrets. I dont regret not having my nose broken though. I have a really big Italian nose which probably woulda got broken each and every fight, plus in sparring.

I met a wellknown trainer in Newark, NJ's Red Brick Gym back in 1996, and he took one look at me and said I should fight at about 147. Im only 5 foot 6, and my normal out of shape weight is about 185. I know I woulda been good at 147, with real heavy hands for that weight.

Now Im in South Korea, and the 147 pounders are weak as shit, they couldnt knock out a fuckin fly or even a fly's egg. Im seriously thinkin of going into boxing at age 47 just to knock these weak ass motherfuckers out. Yes Im fighting in a much lower quality market, but hey, maybe Ill be the South Korean welterweight champ soon.

lol Which part of Korea are you in? You got to be kidding me though, Boxing isn't taken seriously in Korea anymore, that's why. The days of great Korean fighters has ended in the early 90s.. Korean kids nowadays are too well fed in every way that there's no longer that " Hungry Mentality " ... Those are the days of old and nobody wants to box anymore in Korea. I know some guys in the Korean Mob who would put guys to sleep if they decided to get serious about Boxing.

Koreans are some crazy, tough SOBs, that I know for a FACT and if you think it's easy to be a WW champ in Korea, you try.. Good luck bruh..

Im in LA but Ill be going to Korea in the summer.. Let me know if you want to spar..

I've talked with my Dad about his time in Vietnam and the the tenacity and hardassed-ness of the Koreans just left him wide-eyed in astonishment.
