    Well,.. he's got more of a shot than the 'unknown' David Haye had... Vitali will bend and arch up and Aereola will not be just a pretty face.

    He may as well cash out now, going by reports, he doesn't seem as dedicated to make a serious go at it.

    'Unknown' Haye was a undisputed world champion who's only heavyweight fight was a better victory than fat boy Areola's managed in 30 odd. Areola's a disinterested fat man who'll quit. He'll quit 4 months in advance by not training properly then he'll quit in the ring like all fat heavyweights do.

    Just show him the Peter fight, so he can prepare himself mentally.

    This fight should draw pretty well in So. Cal.

    Honestly, with Haye out of the picture for right now, I can't bring myself to say that much critical of the fight.

    It should be entertaining - even Vitali-Sanders was that - and will probably stop inside the distance...and will actually be one of the 'bigger' heavyweight fights stateside since Lewis retired.

    I just hope Arreola comes in decent shape.

    One thing is for sure, Arreola not only has bigger tits than Haye, he's got bigger balls too.

    How do we know its really gonna be Arreola in there though? He could pay off Vargas to get in there for him. I mean... would we be able to tell the differance?

    Sure Vargas has more skills. :lol: I think Arreola has a poor chin. Cans like McCline and Walker have stunned him. I don´t even think he´ll even last as long as Peter or Gomez.

    Vitali will kill this fool. The good and bad thing about Arreola is that he will show more heart than someone like Peter.

    So he will go for broke but won't quit until Vitali finishes him.

    Two rounds is Kirk Johnson territory.

    If Vitali harpooned a whale that night, I wonder what Merchant is going to say if Arreola waddles into the ring and then exits as quickly as Bubba did.

    My source's latest on Chris: "It appears that Chris Arreola will get a shot at Vitali Klitschko for the WBC version of the world heavyweight title in L.A. on Sept. 26. I haven't seen Chris recently, but hope to catch his workout at Indian Willie's Two Feathers Gym in Riverside next week. He has not begun sparring yet, but reportedly has been working hard on his conditioning."

    I heard from a writer from another boxing website that said Chris looks like he has trimmed off at least 10 pounds and maybe even 15 pounds since he has been working with a nutritionist and cardio conditioner, augmenting his daily running with a lot of wind sprints.

    Now, whether or not that will help him in there with Vitali, I don't know.

    It's at the stage now that we actually praise HW fighters for training. Anyway I guess it is good news that Chris making an effort - it will make for a better fight.

    Vitali will KO him regardless of his weight or twinky intake.

    McCline is 6'6, almost 300lbs.....just in case you forgot. I think the guy has some power when he steps in and cracks like he's capable of. Just my opinion. He dropped Peter 3 times. Peter took everything Wlad had and didn't fall. Same against Vitali for 8 rounds or so.

    Chris will show up to the ring and fight. That Euro bum Haye would rather walk barefooted accross hot coal than fight the Klit brothers.

    I have seen him quite recently, and yes he has trimmed down...but he still needs to lose another 20..

    Unless Vitali gets shot overnight, that fat tub of greasy menudo won't see round 4. They should call this fight "The Luau" because that fat pig is going to get butchered.

    One thing I noticed about Arreola is that he fights well on the inside. He has a way of sort of pushing his punches, straight and from a very short distance. It's a bit odd, but he is quite accurate like this, and he carries good power somehow.

    I think he could certainly be effective against Vitali if he could get in close. Vitali doesn't know how to fight on the inside, he just grabs.

    The problem is, Chris Arreola has very little ability to get inside on anybody without getting POUNDED on the way in. He is not good fighting too far outside (and is very easily hittable), and that is where Vitali will try to keep the entire fight.

    For me this boils down to the fact that I see no possible way Chris Arreola will prevent Vitali from picking him to pieces from long distance, and simply grabbing on the inside when necessary. I just can't see it happening.
