Former heavyweight title challenger, Chris Arreola, 38-5-1, 33 KO’s, got back into the heavyweight mix with a third round stoppage of Jean Pierre Augustin, 17-1-1, 12 KO’s. In the opening round, Arreola stalked the moving southpaw, Augustin, but was unable to catch him with anything really damaging. Augustin landed the more telling shots in the first two rounds and won them, but he was breathing heavy as he went into the third.
At the beginning of the third, Arreola landed a hard jab that really hurt him. Arreola attacked and dropped him with a combination that ended with a hard left hook. Augustin got up, but he couldn’t survive and the former 2-time heavyweight title challenger is back to his winning ways and will be a good opponent for any up and coming heavyweight or perhaps a titlist.
