In my view Vitali is becoming too old and more fragile so to speak. Do you remember his fight with Corrie Sanders? In the first round, Corrie landed a counter punch that landed straight in Klitschko's face. Vitali was shocked, stunned and starting going backwards as he was afraid he might get down, if Corrie connected again. Against Gomez, on one occasion Vitali had the very same facial expression. Therefore I conclude Gomez, who is not a power puncher really, actually hurt Vitali in the mid rounds. Arreola is a bigger puncher with a good workrate and youth on his side. Arreola TKO7 Klitschko.
These two were southpaws with very quick hands. Besides, he had a wierd facial expression and thats it, he wasnt knocked down, wasnt even hurt, went on to pummel his opponents.
Let me have some of whatever you are smoking. Just because Vitali lost to a fat Lennox doesn't mean he will lose to a Euro-level fighter in Arreola. What do Americans call their 'Euro-level' guys, BTW?
No way in hell, Vitali knocks him out in the late rounds. This won't look much different than the Peter fight.
In his last two fights Vitali has done more than enough to suggest he is going to blitz Arreola IMO . Vitali stoppage 6 - 9 !!!!!!!! maybe earlier
What exactly did he do? Beat a stationary target in Peter and has had problems with Gomez. I am not intending to start a heated argument here, but I genuinely believe Vitali has been deteriorating.
I actually think Vitali will actually get him out earlier than Peter and Gomez...( I picked the Peter and Gomez fight 100% too, round and everything.) Arreola is going down soon. For now im thinking the 5th round... but ill wait til i see the scales and everything.
Vitali took Sanders best shots and didn't go down. I bet half of the HW division would have gone down right there, including little brother. To argue that Vitali was in panic or looking bad against Sanders is total BS. Did Lewis look bad against Tyson in round 1? And how did the fight end?
gatekeeper, journeyman, c level fighter. Yeah, Arreola is gonna get smoked, if he was in shape I would give him a shot but he isn't and he doesn't stand a chance. I just don't get that, you want to be HW champion of the world yet you don't prepare yourself. thats why you gotta love boxing, put up or shut up.
