Poor poor Chris Arreola

[C-Lo]

Arreloa needed more fights before he was "ready" to fight the brothers. His exciting style will just have him moving into shots Vitali throws at him. Maybe if he gets into shape he will have a better shot but he's way too pudgy to compete with the physicality of Vitali.

Why do you think his being in shape will give him a better shot at beating Vitali?

I think in any sport being in better shape will give you better results. Arreola would be quicker in both his hand speed and his head movement. Plus, in his case, I think his stamina and workrate would be better too. It's one thing if Arreola was already chiseled, but he isn't. His body looks like mine and I have let myself go...

I remember a few weeks back I said that Arreola is starting to look like Butterbean. I sure wonder if the guy will come in good shape against a dangerous opponent like Vitali.

I agree completely. I'm just not sure the decisive factor here is Arreola's physical shape. Even with his weight he has dominated his previous opponents. As long as he's not intimidated by the Klitschko's, and I don't that happening with Cris, he needs to throw a lot of punches and clinch or move away.

The problem here is how do you beat the Klitschko 1-2 clinch. Someone please remind me how people have done that in the past.

Very tough for Arreola but with his punching power and weight behind those punches you never know.
USA!
Mexico! cough* cough*

Arreola will be KO'd in 4 rounds. Vitali will use his height reach and technique to keep Arreola at bay. Arreola is going to eat alot of leather in this fight.

I would have preferred to see Arreola vs Haye. I think that would have been a good fight.

Arreola has good power and fast hands but his style is all wrong for Vitali.

I give Arreola a good chance of winning this...

if Vitali dislocates both shoulders, breaks an ankle and suffers a heart attack.

So you're saying there's a chance, w00t!!
