Walker was **** huh? :think He's come the closest to beating Arreola, and I can't believe that Arreola, who was close to securing some sort of elimination or title fight would "not bother to train". Arreola has never been ripped and was 235 against Tann. Whilst I agree that the weight off will help him, itt won't suddenly make him ring savvy and able to use his legs against an already mobile opponent. You can count me in on any bet if and when this fight comes around. A painfully tentative Wlad jabs Arreola to a lop-sided UD or late mercy stoppage. :deal
Nobody should be shocked to see Wlad crumble again if a big agressive guy like Chris can get inside and rough him up. Little bro still looks almost as shakey and vulnerable as ever when he's put on the defensive. Based on the way Arreola was getting tagged by a B-level guy like Walker, I don't see him being the one to pull it off... But you never know. It only takes one good shot with Wladimir.
He certainly fights more cautiously now. Did you see him against the feather fisted Ibragimov? He looked like a prostitute facing an angry Ike Ibebuchhi. He is the worst excuse for a champion in World Boxing history. He clinches like a little ***** at the 1st sign of trouble, and is more terrified of exchanges than Hector Camacho Jr.
I admit Wlad has improved his defence with Manny... especially on the inside, where he's learned to use his strength to tie guys up, ala John Ruiz. But to me, he still looks pretty shakey when he is being pressed. IMO.
Oh, you mean the clinching like a *****? Yeah, she is certainly the Queen of the Clinchers, Wladimira Klitschko.
Arreola has a punchers chance but thats about it. The robotic Vlad will jab his head off before disposing in the mid to late rounds.
Neutralize the jab, and keep the figjt inside, and you have a very nervous Emmanuel Steward, in between rounds.
shame wlad didn't have the balls to fight haye :-( instead he wants the slower and technicaly inferiour and less experianced (world level) fighter in arreola. nice side step get his big bro to sort him out
Sounds like the same game plan as Peter, Byrd, Brock, Austin, Brewster, Iggy, Thompson, and Rahman. We know how it worked for them :deal... I dont see Arreola bringing anything better then those guys did
Those 8 opponents combined, werent worthy of SPARRING Ali. Rahman is the best of the bunch, and his ass is owned by Vitali's biological father, Lennox.
A REAL Champion doesnt give 2 ****s about belts or mandatories. He fights the BEST fighters out there, not Tony Thompson and Chris Byrd.
