      I don't mind this fight in that it is just to keep Chris active,, Remember that Wlad has targeted Chris for a fight in October in the USA, but it shouldn't be on TV at all. I understand his handler's aren't going to put him in a dangerous fight and risk blowing the title shot, but I guess if they can get him paid anyway they will.

      Overall I've been impressed with the hard work Chris has put in with this comeback. Instead of celebrating his defeat/payday by taking a long layoff like Chambers, Johnson, ect, he was back in the ring three months later after losing ti Vitali, and fought five times in 2011 after losing to Adamek in 2010.

      Hopefully he blasts this guy out quickly.

        I give up on this guy, he is content on fighting no hope fights. The guy is okay but he knocks out low level opposition then acts all ****y after it while he ducks deal competition

              what is with all you people? arreola is doing nothing different then any other heavyweight has done over the last 30 years. when a contender losses 2 big fights vs top opposition he goes back to the bottom of the pecking order. he has to build himself back up fighting journeymen. look at most of the guys in the 90's. they all had several tuneup fights over a couple of years to get back in the mix. when you lose a title shot & then your next big fight you do not just get back in the ring with top 10 guys. you take a couple of years & make another run while picking up confidence with wins over journeymen. arreola is doing exactly what serious contenders should do after 2 big losses. how come i'm the only one that sees this?

                he's taken the right path back to title contention. built himself back up with lowrisk fights. he is ready & already is the mandatory for vitali again & wlad says october he is fighting him. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why he isnt fighting a top contender when he already IS THE TOP CONTENDER! there has not been one heavyweight to risk his #1 ranking vs a top contender since jameel mccline did that vs calvin brock. mccline was #2 in the world at the time & gave calvin brock a shot at him & he lost. brock went on to fight wlad instead of mccline getting a second shot at wlad.

                  Arreola is becoming irrelevant taking these kind of fights. Mike Mollo is not even ranked and has loses against McCline, Andrew Golota, and DaVarryl Williamson. His last fight was in 2010 against Gary Gomez, a journeyman with 11 loses. Mollo is simply another journeyman to add to his record. The fighters that Arreola should be targeting at this stage of his career are Wach, Pulev, Solis, Price, Fury, Helenius, Haye, Chisora, Boytsov, Chagaev, and Povetkin. After his lose to Adamek, he stopped looking for opponents that will present a challenge.

                    Arreola will fight wlad, get the burritos beaten out of him, cry and go back to fighting bums so he can fight wlad again in 2016, get his taco's smashed in again and call it quits.

                    Adamek showed he can't even beat the worst of contenders so now he doesn't even try

                    What a career!
