The ONLY way to beat Vitali Klitschko is by injury. This has been proven. Arreola's only chance is to injure Vitali during the fight. Otherwise he is getting knocked out.
Here is a recent video of Arreola claiming he is at 265 now and is aiming for 245 for fight night. Doesn't seem like he has the commitment necessary to get in top fighting shape even when a HW belt is on the line. Vitali is very beatable at this stage in his career because he has slowed down so much and has lost some accuracy and timing with his punches, but an overweight opponent is not going to be the guy to do it. Arreola will need the stamina to take Vitali late into the fight and wear him out, at his weight he will wear down long before Klitschko does. [yt]a3E9j7MEQys[/yt]
He defo has a chance. Anytime you get in the ring with a fighter like a Vitali who could age any day now (in-ring)
We saw a recent picture of Arreola where he looked to be around 300. He may have had a chance at 230, at 260+ he will have no chance.
Pretty much my sentiment on the matter. There has been some talk of Arreola attacking Klitschko's body to wear him down. Seems like a reasonable strategy, but it would require going deep into the fight, and weathering Vitali's offense in the meantime. I don't think Arreola, though he seems to be able to walk through fire at times, will have the stamina necessary to carry out such a fight plan.
This is from the same night as that from-behind picture that everybody has been posting about. Can't really get a good view of him, but he doesn't look as bad as the from-behind pic makes him look.
I saw that as well. He looks bigger then 265 IMO. they will spend all training camp trying to get the weight down which takes away from what Camp is really all about. IMO is embarrassing that a pro lets himself get so big between fights.
:good:good they say the same about Wlad. no way CA can get into the late rounds with 245lbs PLUS getting hit all night. Vitali by KO 6-8
I don't buy his 265 estimate either. I find it embarrassing that his goal for a championship match is 245 which is at least 15-20 lbs. over his ideal fighting weight. Vitali, even at his age, always comes to fight in top condition and he will make Arreola pay for not doing the same.
