Chris Arreola may fight Oleg Maskaev next

[The Hammer]

Oleg Maskaev is old (he'll turn 41 this comiing winter) and slow-moving now, so it will be another fairly easy KO win for Arreola.

But it will add a former world champion to Arreola's resume, and he will likely become the WBC mandatory.

[The Gambler1981]

It is a decent fight one that Arreola should win, even at this stage Oleg would would be one of the better guys he has faced. He needs all the action he can get at this point.

Yes, Arreola needs to stay active.

moving areola up slowly is for the best until chris can get his obesity under control. just look at chambers... his boxing seriously improved after losing weight.

couldent agree more

[Klitschko2011]

Maskaev is old and shot.

Arreola beating up shot Maskaev proves absolutely NOTHING.

[THE MASTERKUSH]

Chris Arreolla is an ultra-nationalistic american who hates europeans, and he thinks that unless the heavyweight champion of the world is american it doesnt count as a real world champ ridicilous. he even called wlad klitschko only a european champion hahahahaha. chris arreolla is an obese, dumb and ignorant bum who will get knocked out as soon as he faces klitschko. **** him i couldnt care less if that **** died.

oh boy here goes tunney again loading his threads up with agreeable alts and east side box circlejerk kids.

Chris Arreola and Oleg Maskaev are near a deal to fight Oct. 3 in Southern California, sources said.

The heavyweight fight could take place at either Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif., or the open-air Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

Arreola (27-0, 24 knockouts) had hoped to fight either of the Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, but Vitali has agreed to meet David Haye on Sept. 12 and Wladimir is negotiating to fight Alexander Povetkin.

Arreola, who lives in Riverside, not far from Ontario, is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of Jameel McCline in April.

He’s ranked No. 1 by the WBC, meaning he will be the mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko if both win their fights.

Maskaev (36-6, 27 KOs) is a former titleholder but is 40 years old.

I had a chance to speak to Chris on a boxing radio show called On The Grind on Sunday. He said that he would love to fight David Haye. He also said he would fight Ruiz anytime. He loves the Rican vs Mexican rivalry.

He said that he hired a strength and condtioning trainer. But hates to run, lol.

Arreola fight Kali Meehan or Lamon Brewster over Maskaev.
