    well, styles do make fights and wlad isn't going to enjoy much of a size adv wlad's 6'7'' to chris's 6'4''. that chris could put a hurting on wlad the first couple of rounds, it is possible, brewster and purity have done it, but i think chris hasn't gone past 10 rounds recently, so it's more than likely wlad would be winning a stoppage late in that fight. i think chris is more about precision and timing, and he is a big puncher in that way, but not a one punch ko kinda fighter

    What the hell are you talking about? There's TONS of footage of Arreola out there. I've seen no less than 8 of his fights on TV.

    That said, you're right that he doesn't have a ton of punching power. He tends to wear guys down with combos, but he doesn't have one-punch KO power. As someone already stated, he's a standard Mexican pressure fighter.

    If he thought Chazz Witherspoon had an "oh ****" jab, then I can't see him lasting too long with Wlad, who probably has the best jab in the business at the moment. If he can figure out a way to get inside consistently and not get locked up into clinches, then he stands a chance, but not a very good one. Based on what I've seen of him lately, he'll probably get stuck on the outside and get KOed within 3 or 4 rounds.
