    Arreola hard to gaurd against

    Arreola is far from perfect, but his punch selection makes him hard to defend against especially in close.

    If you keep a high gaurd he isn't shy about going to the body wih either hand, plus he has an uppercut (that seems particularly effective against tall fighters) that he sneaks in under and in between the elbows and lands right on the chin. The upercut splits the gaurd and allows for a straight punch.

    If you try and lower the hands, then he will just head hunt. Believe it or not I think this is the better option, since he doesnt have blazing hands and can throw wide, so atleast you will have a shot to hit him back.
