Klitschko v Arreola is on

Brad Goodman

So it looks like a defo done deal. Any thoughts on how this will go? I reckon Vitali will ko him inside 5 rds. It'll be fun while it lasts though!

Vitali victory anyway, although Areola have a better chance than Haye in my opinion!
He might be abit of a slugger but I like Areola, love to see him drop Haye someday! Hes as tough as.

Is it on for sure now?

While I was lookinf forward to Haye fighting onw of the bros I think the ways things have panned out have worked better unification wise.

Only seen Arreola fight the once.

You can see some off his fights on the youtube, hes a tough Mexican-American.
He may not be the most technical in the world, but he can fight, take a good shot and give a good one hes 23ko's in 25 wins (I think)

Poor Chris, he's gonna take an absolute beating here.
He's a proud man though so I can see him taking a knockdown or two before the corner finally throw the towel in.

He has problems handling a decent jab(shown in the Walker and Witherspoon fight among others) and Walker showed that while he is tough he can be hurt if you land a good shot on him. Walker also showed how uncomfortable he can be if backed up.

I see Vitali keeping him on the end of his jab, busting him up. Arreola not looking his usual self(cause he can't fight his normal type of fight) and when the big shots start hitting him clean he starts hitting the canvas.

I like Arreola, he's a nice guy and has a nice attitude while in the ring(although not so much in his training habits), but he's a bit of a hype job and I don't really want to call him that cause he seems a nice guy but he is. He's got a padded record and the best guy he's fought is Walker and Walker was doing a number on his till his terrible chin showed it's appearance. Walker has since been ko'ed by another Mexican-American, the very average Manuel Quezada.

Of course Arreola has also beaten a very out of shape McCline too, but McCline did things in that fight which gave Arreola trouble and when you add it all up it doesn't bode too well for the American.


Essentially Arreola is just another Michael Grant.

Ye your probly right. But Its hard not to like the guy, he seem's a genuinely nice bloke and has heart which is great to see!
Agree Vitali be well to much.

To be honest tho if you look at the heavyweight division for all the abuse it gets some great fights could be made off the top 10 !!!

Povetkin V Wlad
Chagaev V Arreolla
Haye V Arreola
Valuev V Vitali
Gomez V Valuev
S Peter's V Chaguev

Not that most will happen but great fighters are there, there just not liked cause Russian really! And how Haye is ranked 3 on Boxrec **** nows! Povetkin, Chagaev should be ahead in my opinion. I even think Arreola could beat Haye on his day, although Arreolla is easily hit and maybe vunerable. But Haye is vunerable to and hasn't a quarter the heart Arreolla has and Arreolla bangs too!

And then throw Martin Rogan in

The reason boxrec have him so high is they use computerised rankings and Haye brought up a very high ranking with him from Cruiserweight. Then beating Barrett(who had an inflated ranking after beating Tye Fields) put him up to #3 from #7(I think). Makes sense when you think about it like that but in practical terms of course Haye doesn't deserve to be #3 in the World at Heavyweight.

The IBO do the best computerised and independent rankings imo.
They currently have Haye #8.

Ye never looked at that before its alot more realistic alright thanks for that.

That was abit off a drunking rant I went on there :pac: I just like Arreolla and annoys me people always saying how **** the heavyweights are when top ten have some alright people there.

And in Vitali there's a man who could have won a world title in most decade's.

Arreloa is getting smashed within 5

I'll watch this, just for the shock factor if Arreola knocks him flat out.

Id bloody love it!!!
Chances though!!! And I still stand by Arreola has a better chance than Haye would have, Arreolla balls are just bigger :pac: nothing better than watching a man with heart and he is heavy handed just dont think he'll get close enough to land here and his chin is'nt 100%. Vitali is just a freak off nature in fairness.

He'll get up and keep trying though and thats why i will be watching (and hoping)

Chris is a joke - the dude is over weight and needs to hit the gym.

Vitali is going to KO this dude and with ease.

Agree he should lose the body fat, but hes obviously fit he has had no stamina problems! He is what he is a banger with heart. He wont beat Vitali but like it or lump it he's one off the best Heavyweights in the world!!
