    Arreola is a dangerous fight for Vitali

    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.

    I really doubt Arreola is a dangerous fight for...anyone really. I don't have anything against him, I just don't think he's any good.

      I agree.

      If Arreola falls on Vitali, it could potentially end Vitali's career. VK might sustain a massive injury, possibly brain trauma and might be paralyzed from the neck down.

      I hope they've reinforced the ring too.

      So when VK knocks Arreola over he doesn't crash through the ring.

            Well, he's not bad, but he's got power, a decent chin, and is always willing to take some so he can give some. That combination can make you "good", just not great. He's basically going to end up as a gatekeeper. Unfortunately, taking this fight with Vitali is just going to significantly advance the date he's demoted to gatekeeper status...to basically the day after his fight with Vitali.

                That fight is gonna be a brawl and one VK is winning.
                I dont think its that much of a dangerous fight at all for Vitali he will bomb Arreola out fairly quickly...

                  he is past his prime now .but he is still the best heavywaight in the world ,and should ko arreola early and easy.

                    "The nightmare's" got bombs, i'll give him that. But Vitali's pretty vicious; he knows how to utilize his jab and keep people off him. I think he defeated Sam Peter soley with this jab.

                    Plus, can Arreola make it to 12 rounds?
