Chris “Nightmare” Arreola defeated Brian “The Beast” Minto with a fourth-round TKO in a heavyweight bout at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City Saturday night. Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs), who suffered his only loss as a professional in September to WBC titlist Vitali Klitschko by a 10th-round TKO, outmuscled Minto (34-3, 21 KOs), and referee Ed Cotton was forced to halt the fight after “The Beast” hit the canvas for the second time in the final round. Minto, 34, is a subpar fighter whose record is in no way indicative of his level of skill as a pugilist. Nevertheless, Arreola, 28, who somehow managed to win the National Golden Gloves in 2001 as a light heavyweight despite only training for three months, is an offensive powerhouse, and his heavy fists will always provide him with an opportunity to emerge victorious in the ring. Arreola, a resident of Riverside, California, needs to improve his footwork, defensive techniques, and conditioning if he wants to become a serious contender for a heavyweight championship. Arreola himself has acknowledged that he has not always been passionate about the sport of boxing. The Mexican-American was once quoted as saying, “I really didn’t know if boxing was going to be my career. I wasn’t sure about turning pro, and once I did, I just took it one step at a time. But then I started knocking guys out and I gradually started thinking, ‘Hey, maybe I can make some money doing this.’” With the dearth of talent in the current heavyweight landscape, Arreola can more than “make some money” boxing. If Arreola is genuinely motivated and determined, he will be a “Nightmare” for his opponents, and he could absolutely become a future championship prizefighter.
