    Chris Arreola

    I think if he keeps winnin he can be bigger then De La Hoya. Just cause he's one of us, he's not like Vargas who tried to be super Macho, and he's not like Oscar in the sense we'll find Chris put boxing on hold for a minute and see him try to "sing." He's just one of us, he reminds of one of my best friends big brother, except Christobal doesn't seem like a COMPLETE knuckle head. My friends brother literally beat the **** out of the principle of our middle school lmao, he'd drink and beat the **** out of as many cops as he could (We didn't live in LA where cops shoot on sight), then before you know it, all his friends and guys that were tryin to be like him and compete with him were fightin the cops on a saturday night just so they could get the same recognition, everyone from the white guys that hated him to the other gangs, lol they all followed WHAT HE DID. It was complete Mayhem for a minute.

    lol But I mean first thing Chris was thinkin about was eatin some menudo, and tomorrow's sunday....the day where every spot puts their menudo on the menu. lmao its tradition out here to sleep the liquor off on sunday then get your bowl of menudo or posole in the afternoon. The guy is just one of us, and the day he has to take a loss, which I don't see a reason why he should with the propper preparation...well, thats gonna be a sad day.

    ----

    Anyway to get to the fight...I see people callin Cristobal lucky, fat etc etc..but lets address this like it happen...

    Walker came out punchin from the first round, he used his entire arsenal from the power to the speed of his combination's at a time where Chris wouldn't expect it, early in the fight. Which was a brilliant Idea in the sense he had Chris completely thrown off and overwhelmed, even had him take a knee, but Arreola to his credit, needs to be officially put down and dazed if you want that KO, cause the ****in guy has a chin. All that had Chris thrown off to say the least, I mean who comes out in a heavyweight fight throwin like a Welterweight? No one. And as cold and methodical as Arreola was in the first round and first part of the second, that plan was really workin for Walker, would have ended Chris if Chris couldn't take a shot.

    Now the whole time Chris was gettin tagged I wasnt worried at all, usually if my guy is gettin tagged like that I'm panicking and just hopin he survives. But I saw Arreola's face, he took the knee, he didn't try to absorb more punishment, and I didn't freak out in this fight, I was sayin in my head, "Just get your head straight, you haven't had a chance to get your arms going, give your arms a chance." Cause when he gets his arms moving, he manages to set somthin big up. I don't think he threw more then 8 meaningful punches from round 1 to the halfway point of round 2 when he finally let loose....

    And thats it, the moment he got his shoulder's in gear and greased up, his arms let go...and Walkers night was over. And I don't find that lucky, cause once Chris tends to get his hands moving, this kinda **** just happens lol.

    Cristobal basically reminded me of a chainsaw, you rip at the cord over and over and the ****in thing doesnt start...but once it does, it tarnishes **** lol.

    Other then more head movement (not too much, after all Chris is a heavyweight) and some exercises to get his shoulders warmed up before a fight, I don't think Chris needs much more at the moment.

    ----------

    Cristobal vs the Klitchkos

    Vitali and Vlad don't throw fast combination's from round 1, and even if Manny told either of them to do that..All Chris has to do is pick up on it and get on solid defense, not a defense where you're partially lookin over your shell (where you can get caught) but an official retreat. Let them let some steam go. Cause they're slow and ****** anyways.

    Now Vlad is just gonna jab for 6 rounds straight, and it's a legitimate jab. It can cut, even hurt a guy. The loaded up right is even more dangerous.

    But they're sooooo easy to pick up, just simple shoulder movement would neutralize those shots. And when Chris gets warmed up, and throws those short shots and gives some angles, it does wonders for him.

    I can see Chris beatin both Klitchkos, especialy Vlad. Vitali's the real threat. He's sloppy and unpredictable and the only thing he has is his sheer size.



    But reguardless, Manny is gonna have Vlad moving backwards all night and throwin the jab, so Chris shouldn't waste energy tryin to chase him down. Just let it come to him.

    Either Klitschko could beat this kid with one arm.

    Chagaev would box cricles around him and wouldn't break a sweat.

    Even Haye would likely knock him out.

    Arreola would likely also lose to fellow countrymen Eddie Chambers and Tony Thompson.

    Dimitrenko would be a clear favorite over him. As would Povetkin.

    Sam Peter would look spectacular slapping CA's fat ass around the ring.


    I.e., Chris Arreola is not an elite HW.

      We disagree then, I think Chris fairs well against the Klitchkos.

      I do think any other fast handed fighter would give him problems, but aslong as Chris creates opportunities for himself, I think he's got a chance.

      As long as he appreciates the science (which he does) and as long as he prepares for the drastic heavyweight situations, I think he's more then able of makin a name for himself.

        I like Arreola wich is something i cant say about many HWs!
        But he has almost no chance against Wlad and No chance at all against Vitali.

        There are a few others that im confident would beat him too but yeah he seems cool and is exciting.
        Dont think he ever makes it as big as Oscar tho Sun

          Yea, right...............


          His jab wins him fights. Arreolas only chance is to make it a brawl, which Wladimir is just too good of a fighter to allow.

          Now if he wants to brawl with Vitali, good luck.

            See, I think Haye would give him more problems then the Klitchkos.

            Haye has that Lennox Lewis reach and fast hands right? I mean not to the caliber of Lennox, but that's his MO?


            A fight with the Klitkos I think Chris has a better chance, cause styles make fights. If Chris can avoid that Jab and straight right, I think Arreola would completely upset Vlad's rhythm.

                I have to give credit to Arreola for taking some shots and showing a good fighter heart, but he isn't beating either Klitschko, not a chance.

                If you're being real about it you also must acknowledge that Walker has almost zero punch resistance. As soon as Arreola touched him he was folding up like a card table.

                  He could not avoid the jab/right of Travis Walker so his chances of avoiding Wlad's are virtually nil.

                    I was unimpressed with Arreola, Walker was giving him a beating in the first round and would have won if he didn't have an awful chin, Arreola is just so slow its sad that he is one of America's best heavyweight prospects, I also don't think his chin would hold up against the big punchers of the division, I think both kilts would beat him and if Haye doesn't get caught to much he would beat him as well. The guy needs to get into shape.
