WoW, now this would be huge for Chris ! but will he be ready for this? is only a few weeks away, I would hate for him to have such a great chance at the big titles and take a fight that he hasn’t really prepare fully for it.
I want to hear more about this.
Since Chris Arreola is never in shape anyway, I don’t think it will matter if the fight is a few weeks he way. He looks like he trains more at the all you can eat buffet table than he does in the gym and by doing roadwork.
Since Arreola can punch, he is one of those fighters that had gotten away from being in fighting shape because his fights usually don’t last too long.
That always catches up on them eventually.
Believe me I am not talking about coming in looking like Hollyfield and Ken Norton used to. I am just not talking about not being fat. heavyweights like Holmes, Lewis didn’t have those muscle bodies, but were in shape and weren’t burdened with pounds of pure fat on them.
I would love to see Arreola win and really test the “The Russian Robot” .
