I am really disappointed in Chris. And I hope it's not a case of too little too late. The first time I saw him (about a couple years ago), he was somewhere near 240 and looked like he had all the skills and heart. Love at first sight - I thought, this guy is the next HW champ of the world.
Since then, he's grown and grown and grown. And looked sloppier each time out. I'm glad to see he's got a conditioning coach but I can only imagine how much better it would have been for him if he needed to get into condition coming down from 250 instead of 280. Either way, Saturday night should be awesome. I think Vitali has slowed some to the point where he could get caught slipping. It'll take a serious fighter to handle that serious task. If Vitali has enough left, he'll win in impressive fashion. But, even at this stage, Arreola is the livest underdog in the division.
