Wtf
Heaviest weight…I thought Arreola had changed his attitude on training after Vitali? All those tears. I really like him, but you can’t take that dude at his word.
The problem is that he balloons up to 320 or so between fights
And then he trains hard and loses a lot of weight, but he just needs to not let himself go in between.

320?
That’s his prob; all his training goes into LOSING weight not improving technique. I don’t see Chris being any more skilled than Minto – he’s just bigger. Minto’s a live dog, the guy’s always fit, focused and comes to fight. I’d like to see him beat Arreola.

He is obviously not taking Minto seriously
Which I guess is understandable. But if he was ever going to dedicate himself to getting in shape, it would seem like the first fight after Vitali would have been the time. Honestly, it wouldn’t suprise me at all to see him eat and drink himself right out of boxing, which would be a real shame. He seems like a really likeable guy.

I actually though
that after the Vitali fight he would balloon up big time and never be in anything more than ok shape because of the crushing disappointment. I mean if you train really hard for such a big fight then get dominated, and training isn’t really your thing, you can conceniably lose your will to train hard again.

I'm disappointed in Cris
Hopefully at one point he will pull it together. If he’s 265 in his 20s, just imagine what’s going to happen when he ages.
Chris
must have went on a serious drinking binge to get that big after getting beat up a few months ago. Switch to Carona light my friend!
I love Cris Arreola
But dude has no discipline. None. He has the amount of discipline I do.
