It was an explosive atmosphere at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA for Saturday night’s main event between Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola, 28-2 (25) and Tomasz Adamek, 41-1 (27). This is the way it would and should be if the heavyweights weren’t considered dead in the United States; raucous action between two giant male humans, a nationalistic set of crowds representing Adamek’s Poland and Arreola’s Mexican-American contingent. Hell of a fight night, folks. The action was all Adamek beating Arreola to the punch in the opening rounds but, toward the middle of the battle, Arreola began to ramp up his violence and started landing heavyweight thunder to Adamek’s former light heavy and cruiserweight lightning. Down the stretch, it was Adamek’s fight to lose on the cards, but anyone’s game in the ring as both men were tired, hungry and landing heavy leather. In the end, however, it was Adamek scoring the win, taking a majority decision with scores of 114-114 (ridiculous), 115-113, and 117-111.
This was the best Heavyweight fight I have seen in a long time. But then again, I can’t even remember the last Heavyweight fight I watched.
Arreola showed a lot of heart in fighting on with what appeared to be a broken hand. Very Arturo Gattiesque.
He also was very gracious in defeat with a very cuss filled post fight interview.
“I hurt my hand in the fifth round but I kept going,” said Arreola. “I hurt it again in the ninth and the tenth real bad. He’s got a hard f**king head. He hit me so hard, I look like f**king ‘Shrek’ now.”
In the undercard, Alfredo Angulo kept up a steady attack against the faster Joel Julio. Julio has the reputation of being a big puncher too, but he never gave himself the chance, because he wouldn’t set himself. Angulo proved that one way to deal with speed is to throw short straight punches, and to keep letting your hands go. As a result, Angulo continually landed the sharper, more damaging blows.
In the eleventh round, Angulo dipped in and to his left. At the same time he let go of his right which went right over the top of Julio’s pawing left. Bang! Flush on the jaw was the impact of the punch, and Julio went down with a thud. He managed to beat the count, but the referee correctly waived off any further action and saved Julio from further punishment. So the fighter with the dog collar earned himself a spectacular victory and the interim WBO light middleweight title.
