In spite of the impressive undefeated record of Chris Arreola, a top Universum official who’s been visiting Mexico, is predicting that WBC reigning champion Vitali Klitschko will make short work of him.
Dietmar Poszwa who’s Managing Director of Universum Media Network Group, explains that Vitali will win a short, sharp and thrilling war. He said: “This is not going to be a technical fight, it’ll be a slugfest. We have two very heavy punchers. The advantage of Vitali is his chin and his power, plus his experience, so it’s not going to be a long fight.”
In spite of the fact that Vitali is four inches taller than Chris, only one pound divides them at the scales. Dietmar commented: “I know Vitali very well, and superb conditioning is never a problem for him.”
Vitali, who’s had injury problems over the years, has made a spectacular comeback to regain and retain the WBC heavyweight crown. But he’s now thirty-eight-years old.
Dietmar thinks Vitali still has a lot to offer and can continue for some time. He said: “In heavyweight fighting, the good years are beyond thirty. Vitali lives very healthy, and the competition in the heavyweight division is questionable, so I think he can continue at least two years, maybe more.”
Dietmar also brushes aside the notion that controversial David Haye, who’s more than annoyed both Klitschko brothers, has burned his bridges with them. Haye is due to fight Nicholai Valuev and Dietmar says if he wins, he’ll be a force to be considered, explaining: “Money makes fights, and Haye is an attractive opponent. If he becomes world champion then he more attractive than ever before. His style is questionable, but he’s a name and he’s fresh wind in the heavyweight division, so this fight is very much possible.”
