    This fight is virtually GUARANTEED to be a shootout! :good

    Someone is getting TKO'd, and likely within 6 rounds. Can't ask for much more than that!

    Fight should be fire as long as it goes.

    I have seen many of Vitali's opponents in their previous fights being aggressive, throwing hard punches, knocking people out. They get in with Vitali and for some reason stand almost still, look scared to throw a punch, and get jabbed repeatedly (with the odd Vitali right hand thrown in).
    My point, these boxers are doing this for some reason, either they are being paid to lose, or more likely Vitali jabs, hits with a right hand and these boxers do not like the power.
    So although I would love to see an all out brawl with Arreola chasing Vitali around the ring trying to catch him, I have a feeling we will see Arreola standing in the middle of the ring motionless getting jab after jab, with the odd right hand right on the chin, probably quitting on his stool somewhere between the 6th and 10th round.
    I sincerely hope I'm wrong .

    the only one getting shot at will be Arreola. Vitali will barely get touched.

    Exactly, Vitali is too skilled to sit in front of him and trade. He doesn't play to his opponents strengths. Vitali will counter his wide looping hooks with stiff jabs from the outside, and it won't even be a fair fight. Arreola is getting ahead of himself. I'd like to see him fight Povetkin before stepping to a Klitschko.

    Arreola's good, but he's more an exceptional middle man of the division, he has very little chance in this fight, but I do expect him to put up a valiant effort and give Vitali a few sctraches on his face. Just like it would be against Haye, Vitali is far too imposing too be troubled by any of the heavies right now. The Americans will just have to wait until Wilder progresses the way I think he wwill, then you'll have a guy near the top of the division.

    the biggest winner in this fight are the fans. People have been complaining about 'boring' Heavyweight fights well you got an exciting one coming up.

    Vitali has an unusual herky-jerky style that nobody seems to be able to get used to. Add the height and reach to that and I think what basically happens is they don't have the feel for where the target is that they usually do and so they hesitate. If nothing else Vitali is very very good at fighting tall, he uses his lead foot to establish distance brilliantly, it's unorthodox but extremely effective. A limited plodder like a Peter or an Arreola is at an extreme disadvantage stylistically.

    Prepare to see the canvas crushed, WWE style, when Vitali drops Arreola.

    I agree with your analysis, it's on point, but it must be considered that arreola is the tallest guy vitali has faced since lennox, hungriest and biggest, not to mention, he's on a viscious winning streak. perople may say he's overweight, this is true, but its a known fact that he's taking his current training camp the most seriously that he ever has. we'll see

    p.s, you going as far as to say arreola will quit says alot more about arreola than it does about klitschko, and I think it is safe to say that you haven't seen anything from Arreola, in his ring performances, or outside of it, that suggests he will ever utter no mas.

    Doubt Arreola has the smarts to make it as far as quitting on his stool. He's getting knocked out.

    That's what I see happening too. Arreola has very little experience, the jump from old man McCline to Vitali Klitschko is huge. I think Arreola will go down quick, or become that 'dear in the headlights' that so many of Klitschko's opponents become. Either way, the fat man goes down hard.

    great point:good at the end of the day, as aggressive and determined as you usually are and you want to be, if you can't hit the target you're not going to swing. people think "i'll get in there and swing for the fences" but when you have NO confidence you can hit the chin, all you're doing is wasting energy and leaving yourself open for counters. and that's when you hesitate

    He does hit hard. I remember Danny Williams in an interview saying that Vitali and Tyson were the two hardest punchers he'd ever faced.
