    Chris Arreola over Vitali K. I think that Chris can 'Brewster' Vitali like Brewster did Wlad. Vitali is getting is old. Chris has the kind of push that if he is motivated, he can keep up the heat on Vitali. Arreola can't fold even if he is hurt or goes down. You have to keep the pressure on Vitali. You can't sit back and take let Vitali dictate how the fight goes. 5 years ago Vitali beats Arreola. Now, I'm picking Arreola in an upset. I know I'm up against it, and the logical pick is Vitali, but I think Vitali's time is up, and I'm a Vitali fan way more than Wlad fan.

    Arreola tko over Vitali in 8...

    Vitali has a great chin, taking monster shots of Sanders and Lewis. He may be old but chin is one of the last things to go (foreman was never dropped in his comeback I believe even by Holyfield and Moorer). He is the only lineal heavyweight champ to have never been dropped before. Plus if Arreola beat him it would be well before 8 rounds, by then Vitali would have really busted him up. IMO Vitali is more safety first since his comeback and will be content to keep him at the end of the jab for long periods. The most important thing for Chris is to drop weight and capitalise when in the inside and in the corners.

    Cant see it happening to be honest.
    Arreola is just pants.
    Vit is going to murder him.

    Arreola won't out box Vitali, so he has to push forward. Breswter wasn't going to out box Wlad, so he had to push forward. In some fights, you just have to push forward because you know going in the other guy will land on you, and possibly hurt you. Fighters know this going in. Vitali is old, and Arreola isn't an in and out guy. Arreola has to use defense, and push forward and test the old mans legs, conditioning, and will...imo. It is a hard fight, and that is why I said it would be an upset if Arreola wins.

    If Chris comes in in shape I could see him beating Vitali because he is getting up there in age, and Chris does have some boxing skills. He must come forward like you said because if he stays at distance it will be very bad for him and boring for us watching a Vitali jab him to death.

    Unless Vitali gets shot overnight, I don't think Arreola will beat him. But I look for him to push the fight early on more than Sam Peter and JCG did.

    buck you honestly think Ward beats Kessler? I know Kessler has been inactive but don't you think it is a HUGE step up for a first fight for Ward.

    My upset pick for me is Williams beating Pavlik in which i believe in my heart it will happen. Now back to Vitali vs Arreola, i'm a fan of Vitali but i will be very happy if Arreola wins cause Arreola even though out of shape comes to fight and is a real class act.
