Chris has great power and could be trouble for Wlad but his defense is horrible and chin is suspect...Tony Thompson rocked him....Unless Chris catches Wlad early and hurts him bad he is going to get slaughtered

It will be exciting while, it last though

[Kev]

Arreola has never fought Thompson, unless you mean he rocked Wlad, if he did I missed that

[TitoFan]

I don't get hyped about too many HW matches anymore. But I'd make an exception for this one. In the end, Wlad would be too much for the inexperienced and "defense-challenged" Arreola, however.

[Trainer Monkey]

Too much too soon for Arreola, he isnt ready for that kind of action

[OumaFan]

If Arreola doesn't take things more seriously he'll never be ready for it, maybe this will get him motivated to get in better shape.

I meant Travis Walker..........No idea why I even mentioned Tony Thompson.....

Oh Well

But same point stands Chris was rocked by Walker and barely survived the attack...He was actually holding in a desperate manner for a second...

I would not take the fight if I was Arreola's people...He has time and the division is weak,,,,Work on defense and stamina before taking this fight

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Wlad is goin to jab the whole fight.AGAIN.
Unless Arreola catches him with that wierd right hook/overhand of his.

[C-Lo]

I knew they teased about his fight in Arreola's last post-fight interview but I didn't think it was going to actually happen so soon.

Arreola needs to get in better shape and a few more fights in him. I don't think he's ready yet.

Haha, like a dummy I checked Boxrec to see if I'd missed him fighting Thompson. If that fight had happened I think Thompson would have school him.

[The Fightfan]

I see no chance whatsoever for Arreola. Even if he swarms Wlad,he will just get a little bit closer for Wlad to use the shotgun jab. He will embarass Chris and make him look like Rahman in the last fight. A bit harsh but I can not see one thing good Chris could do besides start swinging for the fences. Brewster and Sander's didn't even swing for the fences everything they did was very tightly thrown and short.

Yeah I made an embaressing mistake...sorry for the confusion

More I think at those KOs that Wlad got from Brewster and Sanders more I can see a possible upset here, Arreola having the same style of hitting by jumping on the opponent when he throw punches I’m not saying I favor Chris, but he has some chances to stop Klitschko, otherwise I couldn’t see Arreola possibly winning on points.

[Taeth]

Wladimir isn't the same fighter, he's defense is vastly improved, he hides behind his powerful jab which can take the fight out of even the most stout heavyweights. He is also to light and quick on his feet, I don't think Arreola can close the gap quick enough. He seems to me to be a sitting duck.

[rjj tszyu]

My prediction would be Wlad wins KO Rd 3
