Chris Arreola VS Wladimir Klitschko unification

[ElTerribleMorales]

Let's suppose Wladimir (very likely) successfully defends against Leapai soon and also somewhat likely Arreola will avenge against Stiverne and secure the WBC belt.

What are the odds against Arreola being able to do the improbable and dethrone Klitschko?

Of course the favourite could only be Wladimir but of all the active contenders atm (that's Haye excluded) it's my opinion that Arreola (that being a reasonably in shape Arreola) is possibly the strongest opponent that Wladimir could face atm.

See to me, no other HW ticks all the boxes like Chris does..

- He is 6'4" that's good, and weighs in at 240lbs, again, that's good! So he is big enough.
- He fights at a very hard pace, most fighters can't keep up with that.
- He is pretty quick
- He is strong and durable
- He hits really hard
- He has an excellent chin and punch resistance
- He has solid boxing skills, fighting spirit and instinctive boxing brain.
- He has the stamina of a mule

Not many HW's can claim good measure of all of these things, it's an impressive package.

To back it up he has a good record against good opponents. Even his losses, the last one was a fluke, one of them was against a Klitschko anyway which can't really be knocked. He could have even survived it at the expense of getting badly hurt but in any case finished on his feet. The only real embarrassing loss was against Adamek.

If this eventuates I think I will lay a decent bet on Arreola to win by KO. I can see him forcing his way past the jab and roughing Wlad up. Just because if it pans out I think there'll be a decent pay out!!

Thoughts

he's easy to hit and keep off as seen against Vitali and Adamek, swells pretty easy, and his stamina isn't as good as you say, Wlad will keep him at bay with his jab, and occasionally throw in the right hand, then mix it up with the hook off the jab, and then eventually either have it down to a pattern or pick it up a bit and stop him, I'd give Nipple a 10% chance of getting a shot in that holds any real weight

in that scenario i know exactly what will happen

round one wlad will come out holding and in total hold more than he punches in the round
round 2 - 9ish will be exactly the same
round 10 areola might fall over with exchaustion due to being lent on constantly

the worst case scenario would be areola to last the distance and then we would have to see 12 rounds of holding

the best case scenario is something happens that puts wlad is put under a bit of pressure, in the case the ref will do a piece of hurrendous refereeing and areola will get a point or 2 deducted and wlad will be given a minute or 2 to recover if needed, at least then there will be something to chuckle at

so all in all you give Arreola a better chance than Haye, cause all Haye did was try to suck Wlad's dick to the point that he got it counted as a knockdown as a result of him being on his knees half the time

Arreola could ICE Wlad , he would go down fighting even if he didn't win.

Arreola does have heart, but please explain to me one thing...

How is a guy who lost to Stiverne and was outboxed by Adameck going to beat Wladimir?

I dunno, maybe he'll get the Eye of the Tiger...

no no, Areola has no chance what so ever

if he makes any headway in the fight whatsoever wlad will just be allowed to extra double hold, which is really what he does anyway but i think you catch my drift
