    I would wager my entire life savings that there is almost no chance, zero, nada, that in any way, shape or form that Arreola wins a decision against vitali, even this old age vitali.

    Certainly the most exciting opponent Vitali could find after Haye changed his mind.

    Yes, Arreola and Haye were both good styles for Vitali to look good against. Arreola is better than Haye and is ranked, has fought heavyweights.

    In Cali; with an 89 year-old Vitali, whose legs are lke plastic? Against a young HBO fighter with a damn good workrate and a built in American fanbase? In the USA?? On HBO? You'd bet everything you own?

    Do you need a bookie?

    I think Vitali can fight until he is 40+, if he stays uninjured.

    Funny none of ya'll think Arreola can box.
    For a HW he is a very good boxer.
    It isn't like he just started.
    Yes there is a gap in his life where he didn't box but the truth is he has boxed for more of his life than not.
    So I do think he can win some rounds.
    The problem is that he needs to win more than a few and still remain standing. This I don't see. I think Haye has made it worse for anyone with the Klits right now. Pent up anger looking to get out.

    If you would wager me that Arreola wins by decision I would give you very good odds! I dont think any bookies will have this as an option. I also believe that there wont be any home cooking on the cards and that Vitali doesnt lose one round to Arreola. The likely outcome is a TKO after a terrble beat down with chris lunging and missing.

    I think it's possible for Arreola to win a round. But that's all. :D

    Vitali adjusts for every opponent, he does not fight the same in every fight, he used his brain.

    I think he can steal one round, but just one

    Maybe the first or second but it would be all downhill after that.

    Arreola has a solid amateur career. He has way more experience than many fighters his age. Unfortunately, he's not in good physical condition for reasons I don't understand.

    Let's hope he realizes that this is the chance of a lifetime and he prepares very well so we see a good fight.
