Mexico City /
Ignacio Beristáin, One of the most lauded coaches in the history of Mexican boxing, harshly questioned the confrontation between Andy Ruiz i Chris Arreola of May 1, to the degree that described it as “a fraud”.
The member of the Hall of Fame and who has worked alongside boxers of the stature of Ricardo “Finito” López, Juan Manuel Márquez i Oscar de la FoiaTo name a few, he noted that put in Ruiz against Arreola it was not a good decision, as the second one has not been fighting since 2019 and its last exhibitions were due.
“I think as a boxing technician that this fight is a fraud. Why the fat or exgordito he is a fighter who is well prepared right now by the fashion coach right now, and in his belly he lowered it, he looks strong and the other guy, apart from having a long time not to fight, he doesn’t have a fighter … he doesn’t have great quality. To my taste it is one of the few fights where one does not deserve to be planted on television to watch the fights, ”he commented to Boxing in Mexico.
He added that when he found out about the confrontation it gave him “laughter” as he believes it will only be a function with low boxing quality to offer the fans who will have to pay $ 50 to hire the function to the United States.
“I said ‘this can’t be, it’s a show … This fat guy already looked good, it is very strong, it is very good“But they put him with a fighter who has a long time to not fight and apart from that the last fights he gave were terrible,” he insisted.
