Big props to Cris Arreola

[El Kabong]

I would hate to see anyone be able to pressure Wladimir like that....I mean I doubt Arreola would beat Wlad, but it's pressure like that that has tuckered him out in the past. Wlad, I think hits the hardest out of the two brothers (which is why his opponents are so willing to clam up)...I've never seen Vitali just bomb a guy out with one punch, it's usually an accumulation...but for Arreola to take that kind of punishment tells me Vitali needs to retire maybe after fighting the Valuev-Haye winner.

Sure Vitali was more tactical and technical, but in the olden days Vitali would have laid Cris low early on.

Cris has a huge heart, I just hope he doesn't go all Gerry Cooney on us and self destruct because he lost 1 fight vs one of the best in the World. Have a few Coronas, take a little time to heal up, and then get in shape and rededicate yourself.

Hmmm...they made an interview with Mike Tyson after the fight(on german tv at least)...and thats exactly what Tyson had said...a younger Vitali would have knocked Arreola out early...

It was very refreshing to see how emotional he got after the defeat, that shows big-time desire to reach the top. Most fighters can stay merely sullen after defeat, consoling themselves with the fact that they just made a fortune, but not Arreola. He had a full-blown breakdown of despair after the fight was stopped, and you could clearly see just how much it would mean to him to be world champion.

Maybe he will be the one to give the division a much wanted injection of passion and desire, and possibly remind people that being the recognized Heavyweight Champion of the boxing World is one of the most glorious titles in world sport, a fact that seems to have largely descended into obscurity with the viewing public over the last few years.

Respect to Arreola, and of course Vitali, who is almost surgeon-like with his breaking down of opponents. So patient and methodical, it may not always be pretty to watch, but you have to admire his skill in doing what he does so effectively.

No doubt Chris is a force to be reckoned with but in the last round he looked like a zombie with nothing but bullheaded determination keeping him locked in his forward gear while getting hit with everything Vitali threw and at this rate I feel Cris would have would have went down if the fight had went on. Well anyway David Tua is getting back into the mix maybe we could see him and Chris dance.

Glad they stopped it. Cris was taking way too much punishment and he had no chance of winning. Hope to see Cris again. Vitali and Wlad are pretty much unbeatable at the moment and until they retire or fight each other, there's not any real challenge to them.

Wouldn't mind seeing Cris fight Wlad. I expect he would lose, but he's got a much better shot of tiring or catching Wlad.

CA is made to order for Wlad. One right hand shot down the piuke and BAM, it's lights out!!

[El Kabong]

....eh I think if you're going to KO Arreola you're going to have to sit him down a couple times.

The pressure Arreola was applying would worry Wladimir more than it bothered Vitali...Wlad likes to set his feet and punch

[Cortez The Killer]

How about Vitali's output?? He was almost on pace to hit 1,000 thrown if it went the distance.

He was throwing 80-90 a round. I thought he might gas out and Arreola have a chance, but Vitali never slowed down. Really impressive performance by VK

[sumkalambay]

props? what props is there to give a man who can't show up in shape for a championship fight and puts up a fucking dire performance?

Because people get props for taking punishment and get dissed for avoiding punishment nowadays.

Go figure

Very surprising workrate mate, especially at his age. The Klits have had a few boring fights between them and I myself have said so but you have to respect the discipline and dedication to boxing they both show. I wonder how long Vitali will fight on for? He looked about 28 last night.

All these people slating Chris for crying are fools and would probably shit in their shorts at the sight of Vitaly stood opposite them.

I think 90 percent of those punches were jabs

I think he was wearing gloves aswell. The bastard!

....well I think Arreola had enough of them to stop the fight

[Hulk]

Arreola was a champions heart.

He just didn't have the hand speed or experience.

Very gutsy effort.

And smart strategy by Vitali...much as I can't stand the retarded giraffe looking fucker.
