I'm a big fan of Vitali, but I dont think this was the best choice of opponents for him. I know VK has a great chin, but at 38 years old he is getting past his prime, if he hasnt already past it. Almost everyone goes out on a loss (oscar, leonard, hearns, ali, tszyu, whitaker, tito, etc) and this could be VK's time.
They say the first two things go when you get old are your chin and reflexes. Arreloa is a big puncher with decent hand speed. I know Gomez is awkard fighter, but it looked like VK took more shots than usual. If VK is starting to age, then Arreola has a really good chance to pull the upset.
On the flip side, I also know that once Haye backed out there wasnt many other decent contenders to fight. I mean all that was left is chambers, arreola and povetkin. I hope I'm wrong and that VK blows Arreola out like he did kirk johnson. But unless Vk retires like lewis, sooner or later his time will be up. At 38 years old, I hope he beats arreola and retires.
