Top Rank's Bob Arum completely trashed last weekend's heavyweight bout between Chris Arreola and Jameel McCline. Arum told The Ring Online that Arreola-McCline was a disgrace to heavyweight boxing in America. Arreola stopped McCline in four rounds last Saturday in Las Vegas.

“Let me tell you something,” Arum said. “I really got sick to my stomach Saturday night with these two heavyweights who were obviously overweight and out of condition fighting on HBO and representing heavyweight boxing in this country. That to me was a disgrace.

Arum usually takes shots at the UFC, but this time he actually showed some respect. He said UFC president Dana White would never allow fighters who physically out of shape to get air time.
 
“We in boxing criticize the UFC, but Dana White would never, ever allow athletes like that to fight on his cards, out of shape with ridiculous rolls of fat. I think it’s ridiculous. HBO is so worried about lights and camera angles; they should worry about the athletes they give time to,” Arum said.
