Pathetic...

...Fat Fks that can't even loosely fit the definition of athletes. Pathetic, flabby, slow. No defense, no cardio and an 8 round fight. Pathetic.

No need to see him go on but fight was fun.

All for rematch though

Arreola is hopeless and will never change his attitude when it comes to training. He's just lazy and will always be a fatass that won't be able to stay dedicated to the sport. Work ethic is a talent and that's what he lacks big time.

While watching that fight, I said if he lost to Harper that he should quit boxing. While Harper is better than people gave him credit for, Arreola looked awful and should have been able to put him away.

On a side note: Did anyone else find Tarver's asslicking of Harper irritating? Commentators should not be such cheerleaders.

during the ring entrance Tarver said he had sparred with him & said he was impressed.

Yes I'm aware. That's fine and all but Tarver's bias was out of hand.

Chris Arreola's problem is because of his inactivity. Last several years he's been averaging 1-2 fights a year. If he doesn't have a fight lined up, he's out partying and getting fat.

In 2011, he fought 5 times and he was in relatively good shape. It's really a simple equation; keep the guy busy fighting every couple months and he'll take the sport seriously

Arreola's been in a gym before?

Nobody enjoyed that fight? I thought it was a little sloppy at times but they traded some huge punches. Arreola was 262 but he usually balloons up around 300 in between fights. He had elbow surgery or some procedure done after the stiverne fight. He had some health issues & it looked like he hurt himself again in the 3rd round. He is a gatekeeper & even at 237 against stiverne it didn't help him avoid punches. He has no defence & he likes to fight. I really don't care if he is 230 or 260 because he is always in good fights. He took some huge bombs as did harper. I'd like to see a rematch but there is no doubt in my mind Arreola was working off the ring rust. Unless he gets a new team behind him & learns to avoid punches he will never be more then a fringe contender much like chisora. That is a fight I would like to see. Chisora vs arreola. I don't care what people say I will always like arreola. I enjoy a good scrap & he always provides one win or lose. Arreola just wants to stay active with his comment in the title. He is at his best around 245-250. I feel the same about chisora when he lost weight & fought in the 230s. I thought it didn't make him any quicker & he didn't absorb punches as well. When he was 250 chisora pushed helenius & vitali around. Arreola has pretty decent hand speed but lacks one punch power. At 245-250 he can absorb punches well & he can go 10-12 without gassing as bad as he did this fight. Without big power & having no defence I really think arreola is better off having some extra bulk. Not 262 bulk but 245-250...

I thought he was more nuthugging the trainers instructions then anything... harper was actually listening to his corner & it turned the fight in his favor for a few rounds...
