    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.
