    am i crazy for thinking arreola took this fight too soon?

    i mean just 3 months ago he took some monstrous shots for 10 rounds from a very heavy handed elite opponent and not even a full three months later hes fighting a very durable solid punching fighter..idk i just have a bad taste in my mouth about this one..i wouldnt be suprised if arreola gets caught with something and gets stopped.

        If he isn't able to win over B.Minto, then he should quit. 3 months should be enough to stop crying over the loss to a K bro. I mean 3 months is a long time and he didnt suffer any injury except for mentally maybe..Oh and btw..I'll be rooting for Minto in this one..cant stand a big fat boy crying in the ring..War Brian .

          I think the loss to Vitali will prove to be good for him. He'll start getting in better shape and give up beer during the weeks before a big fight.

          Minto isn't a top ten heavyweight, he's top fifty though so it should be a decent scrap. He's a good comeback opponent for Arreola, although Rossy would have been a little easier.

              He should blast Minto, hes been boxing for years. Hes never had a style that was about defense, he'll be fine.

              He'll bounce back stronger.

                I don't get some people,Chris didn't quit,the fight was stopped,he was still trying to fight,he lost to the best heavyweight in the world,there is no shame in that!!Arreola is a warrior & this fight isn't too soon & he will do well!!By the way,he may be soft looking,but to fight ten rounds taking that kind of punishment at the hands of the best heavyweight on the planet say's he may not look it,but he's in very good shape!!

                  I think its common knowledge that this is the wrong thing to do but the fact is that most people do wait, come back, and still look like ****. Maybe Arreola is going to start something new when guys come back faster and against good opponents instead of waiting a long time and coming back against a softie. Maybe he will look great and it will change the way people do things. On the other hand, maybe he will get killed and everyone will call his handlers idiots

                    I dunno it actually makes me happy to see hes not gunna sit around for like 8 months like most of todays boxers. I think he'll do fine in a little scrap with Minto.
