There are initial-plans in place for heavyweight slugger Chris Arreola to face WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in the summer. At the conclusion of Toney-Oquendo, Dan Goosen commented, “If you sat us all down here, manager, trainer, fighter, we’d all say Klitschko makes a lot of sense right now if the fight can be made under reasonable terms. We’ve said all along that 2009 was going to be Cristobal’s year and we haven’t swayed from that. We’re ready and boxing needs a tornado like Chris.”
Later on in the night, BoxingScene.com accompanied Arreola and his team to the Chandelier Bar inside the Morongo Casino. Arreola was with some friends, his trainer Henry Ramirez, and Wes Crockett, the Al Haymon associate who discovered him when he was fighting on club shows.
Arreola was in good spirits throughout the evening and happy about the early Christmas gift he bought for himself with the reported $250,000 dollar payday he earned for the Walker bout, “I bought a fully loaded Ford F-150. It’s beautiful; it’s raised with 22 inch rims. I went to the dealer and the guy treated me different. He was like, do you want to trade in your other two cars for a new F-150 and I was like, no, I want to buy it straight out and he looked at me as though I wasn’t going to be able to do it until some other salesmen came up and told who I was and then he was like, can I get you anything else.”
Wes Crockett, a kind of talent-scout who initially brought Paul Williams and Arreola to Al Haymon’s attention, came to the Toney fight with a large group that included former USC football standout Mike Williams and a number of other close friends. Mike Williams and Arreola actually seemed to hit it off as the former college football star joked with Chris, “They say you’re going to be the first Mexican heavyweight champion, but with that big-ass nose, you might be black!”
Later on in the night BoxingScene was involved in a round-table discussion with Mr. Crockett and he stated, “I’ve been fighting since I was five years old, and I knew when I saw Chris and Paul [Williams] that they were going to be champions, they both had the talent and they are both natural-born fighters, I could see it in their eyes. It’s done, Chris is fighting Klitschko on May 12 at the Staples Center, and it’s a done deal.”
BoxingScene.com was astonished by the information and since it was received in a socially-intimate environment, Crockett was asked if the information could be reported and he responded, “I don’t give a f-ck, write what you want.”
A few moments later, Henry Ramirez had a smile on his face that was either from the sweet taste of corona or the thought of Arreola fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world and he proudly stated with a grin, “We are coming after Klitschko; we’re taking the fight to him!”
