    Areolla would have steamrolled him
    Hmmm...I'm not sure how to feel about this one.

      Yes, Arreola fought with the most heart.

      I was surprised and disappointed that Eddie didn't even try for the KO in the late rounds, even though his corner was urging him to.

          How did you feel about Manny urging Wladdy to close the show. I thought it was masterful.

          I felt Wladdy couldve done it much sooner but everytime he unloaded on him he let Chambers off the hook and recuperate.

          I'm glad he got the dramatic k.o, HBO will have to watch that and kick themselves in the ass. I'll bet they were betting on another decision. Or at least hoping for one in order to validate their ******ity.

            I didnt see Chambers-Wlad fight but I agree Arreola fought like he tried to win, but Johnson was the worst of the three you mentioned.

            I heard that Chambers went into clottey mode which only mean one thing, he didnt tried to win, he was reluctant to take a risk.

              C'mon don't compare Chambers to that sack of ****, Kingpin Johnson. Eddie tried but he failed. You got to consider that Eddie is an undersized skilled out-boxer who was too small and not strong enough to fight with Wladimir on equal terms. On the other hand, Arreola did what he's supposed to do: he's a big real Heavyweight, a strong pressure fighter and has KO power.

              Don't expect a small boxer like Chambers to fight like a big pressure fighter like Arreola. Chambers showed some heart and didn't quit like Hasbeen Rahman did.

                You should be able to youtube it soon enough. But you won't feel half as bad as Chambers does when he sees it.

                  Yes, there are moments when I wish Wlad would throw more, when his opponent is on the ropes.

                  He really turned it up in the 12th round!

                    I'm not saying he's just as bad, but imo he's not that much better. Arreola is a much more dynamic offensive fighter than both. Its not just cuz' he's big.

                    **** Johnson is 6'6 so size was no excuse there either.

                    Arreola is actually not a bad technical fighter at all. If he got down to 225 or 230, he would do serious damage to anyone.

                      In terms of punching power, most definitely.

                      Chambers is the quickest and Johnson is the slipperiest.

                      Arreola was a bad choice for Adamek at this stage, but it should make for a great scrap.
