Arreola with weight on his shoulders,
not in midsection

When Friday night's original main event
from the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada between Josesito Lopez
and Steve Upsher fell apart following a training injury sustained by
Lopez a few weeks ago, heavyweight contender Chris Arreola was called
upon to step in and headline the ESPN televised Friday Night Fights
on short notice. Arreola [31-2, 27 KOs] will be stepping in against
journeyman Kendrick Releford just two weeks after scoring a third
round stoppage of the game Nagy Aguilera in Carson, California away
from the cameras in an off-television appearance.
