    How does Areolla manage to land that telegraphed uppercut of his?

    I've been watching some highlights, and i noticed, you can see that uppercut coming a mile away, it's one of the most awkward, slow punches in boxing, yet he catches them with it everytime........

    You can't see it coming with all the fat in the way.

      Because the whole rest of the heavyweight division is garbage.

        It's the benefit of third person perspective which make it seem so predictable imo but if you're concentrating on defending against jabs and hooks, uppercuts can be easily overlooked.

            It must not be that great of a punch if Vitali and Adamek didn't have any issue taking it...

              well the one decent heavyweight who teared his ******* open before adamek was Vitali. see the better the opposition the less chances arreola has of being a lazy **** and getting away with it.
