<\/a>By Geno McGahee<\/strong><\/p>\nA 256 pound Chris \u201cNightmare\u201d Arreola, 29-2, 25 KO\u2019s, came into his bout with Manuel Quezada, 29-6, 18 KO\u2019s, claiming that he is now focused and properly trained, but he looked very heavy and slow, struggling to take the 12 round unanimous decision.\u00a0 Arreola\u2019s chin and strength were too much for his opponent.<\/p>\n
Arreola kept following Quezada, looking to land the overhand right, which he seemed to be a sucker for.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t find it until the 9th<\/sup> round when he dropped Quezada twice, but he arose courageously and fought hard, winning the tenth round.\u00a0 He just didn\u2019t have enough to defeat a bloated Arreola.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The frustrating career of Arreola continues.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t take the sport seriously and he is his own worst enemy.\u00a0 He can beat up on guys like Quezada and Brian Minto if he comes into the ring at 300 pounds, but when he steps up to take on a top guy in the division, he will lose if he comes in at the 250 pound plus that he\u2019s been entering the ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n Arreola gave himself a C- grade for his performance and that is about right. Let\u2019s hope he comes into his next bout in better shape.\u00a0 At 230, he would be a tough fight for any heavyweight.\u00a0 At 256, he will most likely lose badly to a Tony Thompson or Eddie Chambers.<\/p>\n
