    Adamek almost got stopped by Travis Walker. You forgot that one.

        I agree he's a gatekeeper. he can probably be the guy who an up and coming prospect fights first before going after a belt.

        what sucks was how he was saying he blew all his money partying wtf? now thats dumb. i mean i love to party too but i never splurge crazy money he must have paid for his entire entourage

            Areolla had a few decent rounds but man did he get knocked! Someone with that kind of weight gets hit like that , his legs just can't support.

            One fighter was smarter and the winner.

              Arreola's weight has just functioned as a distraction from his real problem; zero discipline. As soon as he landed some stuff and the crowd got behind him he started strutting around thinking about his new ferrari and you could kind of tell right there he was going to get caught. His output dropped to zero and he was all giddy.

                  Sure, he has his flaws, but I wish there was more guys with arreolla's heart, guts, and attitude

                  Exactly. He is far from being a great fighter. What he is though is an entertaining fighter who gives it his all. He has also proved more in his losses, than Wilder has in his wins.

                  What we witnessed today was a great fight, and Arreola helped make it that way.

                      Arreola was doin very well and won 4 rounds on the trot imo before the big punch, what u gona do?

                      I think Arreola can still be a relevant guy, fighting guys like Fury and Chisora and Wilder and earning decent paydays then retiring. Boxing should have given him a decent enough lifestyle for now.
