NABF Heavyweight Championship - 12 rounds


Chris Arreola 26-0 (23), Riverside, California

Age: 28
Ht: 6'3 1/2"
Wt: 255

Jameel McCline 39-9-3 (23), New York

Age: 38
Ht: 6'6"
Wt: 271

 

Arreola's right is just so sloppy, but he should handle this fight.

I guess Steward doesn't remember how McCline used to look.

 

I like Chris' body work in round 1.

 

R1: Good work to the body early by Arreola. He had McCline backed up to the ropes early. McCline landed a nice right hand counter in the first minute. Arreola landed the rest of the hard punches. Some nice overhand rights that had McCline looking worried at the end of the round.

10-9 Arreola

 

Hatton sitting with the Golden Boy's ringside.

Is he going to be on camera to build up the 24/7 debut?

 

R2: More good body work from Arreola. McCline landed a good left-right combo halfway through the round. He then continued to eat leather. Arreola is outlanding McCline at a 9-1 ratio in round 2.

McCline doesn't look like he'll make it to the 6th.

20-18 Arreola

 

R3: Arreola backs him up again to start round 3. Some nice right hands. McCline again lands a big shot halfway thru the round. Arreola with a big uppercut at the 2:00 mark and McCline answers with a left that had Chris stopped in his tracks. Arreola lands another strong uppercut and McCline unleashes another massive left at the bell.

Closer round: Arreola rocked twice but he landed many more punches.

30-27 Arreola

 

Ledderman gave McCline round 3.

 

It´s official Arreola is a bum. Vitali would do him Peter style.

 

It's over 4th round KO!!!!!!!1

 

I think Manny Steward is reading from a cue card.

 

R4: Arreola is all over this motherfucker in round 4. Right hands, uppercuts, big shots to the head.

Arreola catches him with a perfect left uppercut/right hand combo that puts mcCline down. He doesn't beat the count.

Arreola winner by KO 4.

:bears:

 

yup....

 

Arreola has a much bettter chance against Wladimir's style than Vitali's.

That's also the second fight in a row that once Arreola got staggered and then just said "fuck it" and came out and ended it.

 

What a stinker of fight. This was painful to watch. I don't want to see two fat slow slobs struggling to throw punches ever again. I hope Arreola gets to fight any of the Two Towers so he can get his fat ass KO cold. Today's HW boxers are a disgrace. They should not be called athletes, but Biggest Losers Wannabe's.

 

Nice words from Jameel. :bears::bears:

 

Now, they're interviewing the best fighter in the world.

:bears:

 

Something looks wrong with Hatton.

The bruised eyes? No

The thong in training? No

Oh, wait a minute. He's sober.

 

Nice job setting up that video clip.

 

Manny picks Williams

 

Williams is from the same hometown as William "The Refrigerator" Perry.

Aiken, SC

 

Arreola

The way Arreola set up that searing right hand over McCline's jab that ultimately spelled doom for him was a thing of beauty, so relaxed and second nature.

You are taught in the gym to open and catch the jab in your right glove (for orthodox fighters) and then double jab back, but Chris parried the jab UP, which is a very difficult thing to do that takes hundreds of hours of practice time on.

Arreola is a Bad Man.

 

This is going to be a great fight

 

Paul Williams 36-1 (27) , Aiken, South Carolina

Age: 27
Ht: 6'1 1/2"
Wt: 157

Winky Wright 51-4-1 (26) St. Petersberg, Florida

Age: 37
Ht: 5'10 1/2"
Wt: 159

 

Wright's blocking a lot.

And throwing a little.

 

Crazy round. Williams through over 100 punches, Winky threw about 15-20 and won the round imo.

 

R1: Great round for Winky. Stuck the jab early. Landed with both hands and backed Williams up. Landed a flush right hook that Williams shook off. Williams closed the round strongly but lost the round.

10-9 Wright
