    Arreola never even came close to going down. Vitali caught him good a few times. I felt bad for him that they stopped the fight. He could've made it to the final bell. But I don't disagree with the stoppage. The guy was taking unnecessary damage and he was clearly outclassed.

    And yes that is a very poor chin assessment on that one, Zakman. You are now stripped of your role of ESB's Certified Chin Checker. That role is solely Rico Spadafora's now.

    Zakman knows his boxing most of the time, but you're right about Spadafora he's an idiot. Zak needs to man up and admit he was wrong this time.

    Arreola can take a lot! Vitali threw a lot and hard, but Arreola looked like he would've been able to hear the final bell. The stoppage was alright though.

    He won't, which is why it's hard to respect him.

    Look at Haye - he went on and onabout his so called glass chin and predicted he'd lose fight after fight...when he didn't, he said "he we get knocked out by the first blah blah blah". Same with Khan. He will predict a "devastating KO loss" all the time and if it doesn't happen, hell just say "next time".

    The thing which annoys me about these two, is they think they're experts on chins, which sounds ridiculous, by the way. They just find a guy whose been hurt and predict hell get stopped in his next fight. That doesn't take skill. There are guys who predicted Mayweather would stop Hatton - that takes boxing knowledge. People said Mosley would stop Margarito, which takes knowledge. These guys pick Audley Harrison to KOed and when it happens go obscenely over the top with their celebration.

    And if guys do get stopped, they become "china chinned disgraces". These "fans" have as little respect for boxers as they have knowledge.

    Only because Grant broke his ankle. Also, Grant had a weak chin. McCline has decent power in the early rounds, that's it.

    Well, Zak IS a sociologist, so you wouldn't expect him to be using a scientific method.

    Out side of Hoffman, Chris turned out to have the most chance of going the distance with Vittili, but I had the feeling he was getting ripe for the taking.

    The ref did the right thing....

    I thought he could go down in the next round or the 12th, or be KO'ed in the last....but he took one hell of a beating...and kept on ticking..

    The most informed post in here. Called the way Arreola would have to take a sustained beating, and knows that Vitali's punching power is over-rated.

    Yeah, I was wrong on this one. Going in there were signs - getting decked by Walker, wobbled by McCline - that lead me to believe that Arreola's chin would NOT hold up, but to my surprise it did. Sometimes that's the way it goes.

    Let me also say that Arreola made me a fan last night. He's one tough SOB, and his chin is definitely better than I thought. I really felt sorry for him in his post fight interview. He seems like a really nice guy who, unlike some of these guys, really CARES about winning. I hope he's able to come back from this!

    It takes a man to admit that he was wrong, I respect that.

    I felt sorry for him as well, he's an honest and decent man with a big heart. He should learn from this and come back in shape, I'll be watching his future fights as a fan that's for sure.

    Listen, if you make outrageous predictions, you better be prepared to be wrong and to man up and eat the crow! :lol:

    Some of these people take me a tad too seriously. I'd rather go out on a limb and have the fun of hitting the nail on the head than straddle the fence and go "ho hum" after the fight! It's part of how I enjoy the sport.:hey And I don't give a **** about being wrong. :nod

    Mmm, that crow tastes good. Got any humble pie for dessert???;)

    My question is how do you really rate his power now being that he was not able to even do what McCline could do, and honestly I think had he had a bit more time to get himself in better shape who knows, I am upset at his Corner for giving him shitty advice, never tell a fighter to keep doing what he is doing if its simply not working.

    I was also a bit turned off by the holding on Vitalis end of it, that **** needs to stop they should have warned him and taken points there was no reason what so ever for Vitali to be holding, he had the balls to trade with Lennox why not Arreola?

    Did any of you catch that left hook in round 8 that Arreola landed it caught Vitalis attention quick and he adjusted moved out of the way I dont think Arreola knew he even buzzed him a little.

    domination no doubt, impressive? Far from it, The Klitschkos have started to fight like Ruiz lately
