Mexican Heavyweight Title

Saul Montana, Mexico, 8-4-0 (6) vs Chris Arreola, Mexico, 12-5-1 (7)

Saul Montana is widely considered one of the best heavyweight fighters to come out of Mexico. In his last fight, he suffered a loss to Diego Corrales in the Mexican National Tournament but has wins over Salvador Maciel, Ruben Vargas and Fernando Montes. Arreola is coming off a quality win over France’s Steve Herelius in Herelius’ backyard. Arreola has been in training to work on his defense, but we all know that the “D” is not one of his best skills. Arreola is a heavy-handed, swarmer and is pitted against an opponent that will stand and fight. Okay, only :29 seconds into this fight and Montana puts Arreola on the canvas with a hard right cross. Arreola gets up quickly and is able to avoid any further damage. It looks like a flash knockdown as Arreola doesn’t appear to be in any trouble. Montana follows up with a solid 2nd, 24-13, as he presses the action and traps Arreola in the corner. Arreola is down again in the 3rd as Montana keeps landing power shots on the inside, 23-6. “The Nightmare” lands a crushing shot that puts Montana down in the 4th. Montana is able to get up with :44 seconds remaining and Arreola runs out of time, 30-4. Montana goes down again in the 5th and is unable to get up from the sustained damage over the last two rounds. The fight is over at the 2:09 mark of the 5th and Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola is the new Mexican Heavyweight Champion! This was a remarkable fight as the fans are on their feet cheering on the fighters. This was definitely a Fight of the Year candidate.

Winner: Arreola
Result: (KO5)
Cards: 38-35, on all three cards in favor of Montana.
Punch stats: 30.2% - 54% Arreola
