Klitschko-Arreola For 9/26, Pavlik-Williams For 10/3

[The Hammer]

The fights haven't been signed.

But one of them is very close to being signed. Dan Rafael is saying the Vitali-Arreola fight will likely happen on Sep 26 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

both should be at least entertaining.

wanna see vitali kick christobal's ass and retire - unless haye would actually step up and make a fight with him worth having.

and, pavlick maybe a bit wide-swinging when williams outs that long reaching jab on him. dont really like either fighter here, just wanna see a good fight.

Williams by TKO 10, Klitschko by TKO 9 after Arreola tires due to poor conditioning.

lol, i agree with your assessment, but if Arreola, cant come into the biggest fight of his career, in shape, then he will be a boxer with a street fighters mentality. There should be know excuses if he gets this fight with Klitchsko, which IMO due to his lack of conditioning he doesnt deserve, its not like before this he was knocking out elite heavyweights to begin with, so if he is awarded the opportunity, then man up, get his fat ass in shape, and show us what your made of, it kills me cause he has the potential, its his work ethic that that raises eyebrows.

i don't like paul williams but he will never pull out period. actually pavliks sissy ass is the one that might pull out. since his ass was whoopped by B-hop all pavlik wants to do is fight smaller jr. middleweights like sergio mora,sergio martinez now its paul who has no power at middle weight. pavliks a sissy

lol @ Pav fighting smaller Jr middles, when he has fought Miranda, Jt AND Hops..and PW who has fought guys like Sharmba Mitchell..LOL......

Close but no cigar.

Cris gets TKO'd middle to late rounds

Pavlik wont be able to handle Pwills workrate...**** the biggest payday of Pwills career, he will be a linear champ. thats worth more than the money.

Co-sign here,the Punisher as linear champ at 160,thats what that division needs,a man ready willing and able to put in work and bring 160 back from the depts of the abyss!!

man i love it when good fights come together!!

arreola/vitali is 50/50, i'll reserve judgement until its closer to the fight. i dont vitali is going to be able to handle an in shape, well conditioned arreola with a good gameplan. but thats just the thing arreola hasn't really faced many top 10 HW's, fighting in a foreign environment may actually intimidate him and arreola doesn't have a great team behind him imo.

as for williams vs pavlik iv got williams via clear UD. his southpaw stance, chin and angles will be too much for pavlik, pavlik might do well because williams advantages in reach and workrate are neutralised by pavlik but i still think williams will have too much for him.

3 weeks in a row of sick fights not bad
