Cris Arreola vs Manny Quezada set for August 13th on FNF's

Promoter Dan Goossen on Tuesday told BoxingScene.com that a deal has been reached for heavyweight Chris Arreola to square off with Manny Quezada on Aug. 13 at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.

The card will be televised by ESPN2.

Arreola (28-2, 25 KOs), who last fought there on April 24 and lost a majority decision to Tomasz Adamek, has lost two of his past three bouts after starting his career 27-0. He was stopped by world champion Vitali Klitschko after 10 rounds in September 2009 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Arreola came back to stop journeyman Brian Minto in the fourth round in December.

The loss to Klitschko was no surprise, but Goossen suggested the loss to Adamek was a bit of one.

"Chris is one of the most exciting heavyweights we've seen since Mike Tyson, but you can't afford to lose fights you should win," he said. "It's a taste you don't like."

Goossen said Arreola would like a rematch against Adamek, who will be taking on Michael Grant on Aug. 21.

Quezada (29-5, 18 KOs), of Wasco, Calif., had won 18 consecutive fights before being upset by Jason Gavern on April 8. Gavern won a split decision at Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore, Calif.

Arreola's problem is simple. He could go out and beat all but 5-6 guys in the HW division (Wlad, Vitali, Adamek, Haye, and Povetkin) while looking like a Mexican Jabba the Hut. If he wants to beat those mentioned guys he has to get into good shape. If he doesn't he won't make it at the top level.

He will show urgency in his next fight, but that won't matter down the road if he doesn't show urgency in his training and nutrition.

woopie on this fight..what are they smoking that says chris is the most exciting heavy since tyson..yeah exciting at the beer-taco stand..this guys a mediocre piece of crap in a utlra mediocre division..

Nice HW fight for FNFs, should be fun while it lasts

Quezada is an ight opponent for Arreola, on the right night he could be trouble for the Butterbeaner

If there is a way we ought to take bets on the weight of Arreola come weigh in time. That is the most interesting thing about this fight.

We should get a pool running to see if Cris is heavier than the he was for the Adamek fight.

come on fat boy!!!!!
