Chris Arreola Seals It With A Kiss: GIF Spotlight

Although Chris Arreola looked as close to the end of his career as I've ever seen him, in his last match with relative unknown Curtis Harper; he has been a mainstay of the heavyweight division for several years and still plies his trade for the television audience. As the durable, jiggly, heavy-handed contender with fun interviews and fun brawls, he's picked up many fans who figured he'd probably never be at the top, but appreciated him anyway. Here he is forcing a first-round stoppage on ESPN2 over southpaw slugger Joey Abell, in 2011.

Arreola must have been pumped knowing he was going to get the kind of fight he loves with Abell and pounded him out, stayed in his face, refused to let Referee Tony Crebs usher him aside and planted a smackeroo right on his cheek for good measure! In typical Arreola fashion, if he gets the slightest hint you can't take his punches, he's on you like Jim Inhofe on a snowball. Ask the bizarre choice for Deontay Wilder's first title defense, Eric Molina, who was also stopped in the first by Chris. Now, I don't recall Molina getting kissed, but he's apparently got some kind of luck from somewhere to get a world title shot at random. Maybe Arreola kissed him for good luck when I wasn't looking. Either way, I'd like to predict a Wilder KO1 outcome. Shannon Briggs might even get salty.

What should you do in case of a flash knockdown? GIF Spotlight With Kubrat Pulev

4-Step Maneuver:

Step 1:

Wring your hands in disbelief.

This can be mixed with a sense of accusation toward the referee, to make him second-guess himself or as a gesture of pure self-loathing, as to elicit pity.

Step 2:

Stand on one leg, preferably the left, to prove you are sober. This will either convince the referee you are not drunk, or it will make him laugh and humanise you in his eyes.

Step 3:

Stand on the other leg, preferably the right, if you took Pulev's example and began with the left, to prove you are sober from the other side. If he didn't laugh when you did this on the other leg, he will feel sorry for you, or admire your effort, which will humanise you in his eyes.


Step 4:


Turn your back and walk away in disgust. We are back to making the referee second-guess himself. It's possible he will feel this is all his fault and he is being irrational.


Please, remember, all of this worked for Kubrat against Joey Abell. If you are not confident in doing what Pulev is doing in this GIF, attempt to simplify the maneuver and only wring your hands in disbelief.
