    It's called bad defense... better yet porous defense. He may not have the same chin as Sam Peters but Arreola appears to have a pretty solid chin. He took some bombs from Walker (A good puncher) and seemed to shake them off. He did the smart thing to take a knee... he didn't get KTFO or anything. Big exaggeration on Arreola's chin as if this will be his huge downfall. It will be his lack of defense that kills him if he loses this fight against Vitali.

    Vitali hits much harder than Walker.

    And also Vitali's punches are quicker than Walkers.

    Vitali is slow. I don't think so.

    Yes, but he systemically breaks down fighters. Some think Chris has a bad chin and will get KTFO within 3-4 rounds.

    Vitali is slow as ****. Almost as slow as you're mentally.

    Arreola has a solid chin, but I see him getting stopped on his feet. He's gonna get tagged repeatedly by jabs early and then when he's consciously putting up his hands by habit, Vitali is gonna close in on him, pin him on the ropes, go to the body, make Arreola put his hands down, then tee off on his head. Referee stoppage no later than 5.

    Just watched the Walker fight. I can't see Arreola going the distance, not at all.

    HAHA Right. That's what all his opponents said before fighting him. And yet magically Vitali hits 50% of his power punches (left hooks and straight rights). How is that possible if he was so terribly slow.

    I think he has a decent chin, possibly good actually, but as said he's pretty poor at covering it so he takes shots he doesn't need to. When he punches he often doesn't have his other hand up high enough to protect and his head movement is lacking.
