By Cliff Rold - Entering the ring at his lightest weight since the summer of 2008, 29-year old Chris Arreola (30-2, 26 KO) of Escondido, California but didn’t get much time to show what it meant, stopping journeyman 29-year old Joey Abell (27-5, 26 KO) of Coon Rapids, Minnesota, in the opening round on Friday night at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California. Arreola, who sealed victory with a kiss, appeared to benefit from a quick stoppage but the result was inevitable.
Arreola came into the bout, his first with veteran trainer Ronnie Shields in his corner, almost seven pounds lighter than in his last appearance at 249 ˝. Abell outdid Arreola on the scale, almost nine pounds lighter than his last fight at 236 ˝.
Abell continued the outdoing in the ring…for about two minutes of the opening round. With Arreola coming forward patiently, Abell used his southpaw right jab and accurate power shots to pass time before Arreola opened up. A right hand while Abell was against the ropes wobbled the Minnesotan. Arreola clubbed Abell with a series of follow up shots, a final right and left sending Abell’s legs splaying.
