"Nightmare" Cristobl Arreola will fight Manuel "El Torro" Quezada tonight for the vacant WBC FECOMBOX heavyweight title at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
Arreola, (28-2, 25 KOs) a resident of nearby Riverside and an absolutely disgusting physical specimen, will battle Quezada (29-5, 18 KOs) on ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" program at 10 PM EST.
Arreola, 31, last fought on April 24th when he was defeated by Poland's Tomasz Adamek by majority decision for the IBF international heavyweight title at the same venue.
Arreola possesses solid ring skills and frightening power in both of his fists.
Sadly, instead of honing his natural gifts and using them wisely, Arreola has pathetically allowed his physique to resemble "Fat Joe's" and he has happily squandered the bulk of his potential as a prizefighter.
"It infuriates me when I see a pro athlete look like Arreola," said Brad Sherwood, 30, a resident of South Boston who is a personal trainer at Gold's Gym in Medford. "He gets paid to workout!"
To realize how much Arreola's stock has plummeted in only a year, remember that just last September he was undefeated and challenging Vitali Klitschko for the WBC heavyweight title.
Now 11 months later, he is competing on ESPN2 for the coveted (pun intended) WBC FECOMBOX crown.
If Arrreola had any determination or work ethic whatsoever, he could be a legitimate force as a prizefighter.
Sadly, he doesn't and he is a disgrace to all professional athletes.
Nevertheless, despite his hideous build and utter indifference, Arreola will easily emerge victorious over Quezada by knockout within three rounds in a few hours strictly due to his talents.
