In fact, probably knocked out COLD. If he couldn't take the punches of some tomato can like Travis Walker without hitting the canvas, a world class HW like Vitali will annihilate him within 5 rounds. Rico - get ready to add this guy to the glass jaw list!!!:happy:happy:happy
I am klitschko fan, but before you criticize Arreola's chin, lets be honest Wladmir's chin isn't made out of titanium either. Plus Arreola wasn't frog dancing on the floor, he took a knee. I think Arreola style of slugfest/brawl is a risky one which leaves hims to be open and be caught. On top of that Walker with 31 wins and 25 KO's, shows that he had decent "pop". I expect Vitali to win, but it'll be a tough win.
Where do I say he (Vitali) doesn't? Zak wants to add Chris to Rico's Glass Jaw Rankings, which I see it as a bit unfair, because Rico being a Klitschko fan no doubtly leaves Wladmir out.:good
It's easy to accumulate 25 KOs when you're fighting guys like Gary Butler, who's been knocked out 25 times, and Walllace McDaniel, knocked out 17 times!!! Oh, by the way, Butler was FORTY-SEVEN years old when Walker fought him! :rofl www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=5849&cat=boxer www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=146786&cat=boxer Walker is a regional journeyman with a PADDED record, and he had Arreola on the canvas. That indicates a SUSPECT CHIN, which Vitali is gonna EXPOSE, badly.:yep
Walker's got heavy hands, and it's not Arreola's chin (which is mediocre at worst) that will get him KTFO - it's the huge gulf in class between he and Klitschko. Wait. Did I of all people just defend Cristobal Arreola, at least in a backhanded sort of way? :blood
Dont forget that Walker threw 110 punches in the first round, all with mean intentions. Arreola didn't exactly end up on his back, he took a knee to clear his head, proof of experience and knowledge.
vitali got floored sparring with walker. difference is during an actual fight walker was going for the kill against arreola. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=10420&more=1
I don't disbute who will win, nor do I say Arreola has a granite chin, but if Arreola makes to the list why doesn't Wladmir? Last time I checked Wlad was dropped by the likes of DaVarryl Williamson. Who did Williams fight? He fought guys with 1-4, 7-25, 5-12 records, and etc. :hey:deal. The jury is out there before Chris chin makes it to Rico's list.
If Arreolas chin is good, we will see some action.....I hope his chin is good. Klitschko-Johnson II would be boring.
Arreola's chin is okay. Walker really landed some huge punches. Most fighters who get hurt like that likely gets stopped soon after. But Arreola mounted a quick comeback and won by KO. His chin and his ability to recover is fine. I feel bad for the guy though. He is gonna get pummeled Saturday. Likely via mercy stoppage.
Walker can bang. Vitali doesnt even have the torque to drop Arreola like that. I believe Arreola will have to take a sustained beating from Vitali before he falls for the count.
