Finally, we will have a unified heavyweight champion

[binnie]

Whilst it last, this might actually be quite entertaining. Can't see anything other than an Arreola victory by stoppage though...

[sonrisa salvaje]

I'm looking for Minto to try and hit Arreola with a chair so that Joe T can do the big splash off the top rope. Look for Arreola to sustain broken ribs due to Joe's girth.

We have been in the gym for the last 8 weeks. Brian is in the shape of his life and ready to finally unify the division as both men will be putting their belts on the line. We plan on fighting on the inside to eliminate arreolas reach advantage and have him out of there by the 4th. Thanks. T.

Minto is going to knock him out in 4 despite the fact he went longer than that with Vitali?

OK.....

[sonrisa salvaje]

The time is drawing near for Joe T's primetime debut. I'd better see you on the telecast Joe or you will have some splaining' to do.

[jhale667]

I'm skeptical. Mostly because Joe is full of shit as a rule.

Minto is going to knock him out in 4 despite the fact he went longer than that with Vitali?

OK.....

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. He didn't want that fight stopped, either; he's tough (and dumb) enough to have been content to stand there and taken it for another round.

[binnie]

This will be quite a spectacular fight whilst it lasts. They aren't going to have to go looking for one another.

good job Joe, you fuckin' turd...

Arreola stops Minto in 4

Chris Arreola bounced back from his knock-out loss to Vitali Klitschko by stopping Brian Minto at 2:40 of the fourth round on the Paul Williams-Sergio Martinez undercard Saturday in Atlantic City, N.J.

Minto (34-3, 21 knockouts) was game but overmatched and undersized against one of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division.

Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) put Minto down with a vicious overhand right. The Butler, Penn., fighter got up and fired back, thrilling the crowd. However, he soon went down again and the fight was stopped.

“I hope I sent the message that I’m still a man to be reckoned with,” Arreola said. “He’s not Vitali Klitschko, but he’s a tough guy.”

Arreola, who weighed a hefty 263, was stopped by Klitschko in the 10th round in September.

No, he's not Vitaly.

So, did anyone that saw the fight on tv see a big, fat Mexican in Minto's corner?

[Fairwrning]

I did actually watch this fight and did not see any large Mexicans....I actually felt bad for Minto..he was given NO respect going into this fight..was he a last minute sub or something??

[LoungeMachine]

This is where Thudner disappears for months without saying a word.....

[jhale667]

Minto got the beat shit out of him!

Funny how the fight went exactly as Thudner predicted...out in 4...except for the fact it was Minto who got TKO'd...oopsie. :D

[binnie]

Minto has some heart, I'll give him that. But this was only ever going to go one way.

[Unchainme]

Joe Thunder still exists?

damn, it's just not the same without Al. kicking his ass.
