(SEPT 24)Unbeaten WBC No. 1-ranked
Cristobal Arreola pulled a fast one on those watching Thursday's
well-attended free open weigh-in at STAPLES Center,initially stepping on
the scale wearing a shirt and weighing 272 pounds! Quickly,
however, he pulled off his shirt to reveal a weighted vest. Everyone got
a good laugh.
Officially, Arreola weighed in at 251 pounds.
In a battle of devastating knockout artists, Arreola (27-0, 24 KOs), who
has had only one fight go the distance (24 by KO, two by DQ - on the way
to a KO), will try to make history by becoming the first boxer of
Mexican descent to capture a world heavyweight championship when he
challenges defending champion Vitali Klitschko (37-2, 36 KOs) for the
WBC championship this Saturday, Sept. 26, at STAPLES Center.
