By Ernest Gabion

BoxingScene.com has confirmed that heavyweight contender Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola has pulled out of his June 23rd Showtime televised fight against Mike Mollo, which had been booked as the TV opener from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Trainer Henry Ramirez would not specify exactly what is forcing Arreola to drop off the card and does not know exactly when Arreola will return. For Ramirez though he still has Arreola stablemate, Josesito Lopez, in the main event vying for the WBC silver welterweight title against Victor Ortiz.
