I love how active Arreola is being. I agree with you Joe that Tye isn't making it out of the 1st or 2nd round, I say 1st. If it's the only way Arreola can stay in decent shape then I'm all for it.
Hopefully Arreola gets a big fight in the winter that can set him up for another title shot next year.Comment

they are trying to keep arreola active,in shape & on a nice winning streak.when you lose 2 fights vs the 2 best guys you face,you need to go back to the gym & get 5-7 wins vs average competition to really get back in the thick of things.you dont just get back in the ring with the best after a couple losses.you need to rebuild your confidence & get momentum back on your side leading into the bigger fights...they are handling chris properly now...I love how active Arreola is being.

tye is too big & slow.hes been fighting at 275-285 & when he fought firtha here he was 257 i believe.he was fast,threw straight punches & cut off the ring very effectively but he has never been that light since...i own like 20 of his fights & that firtha fight he actually didnt look like the regular,arm punching swing for the fences heavyweight he normally is.he even had good footwork that night.i wish he dropped back down to the 255-260 range.Comment
