Vitali Klitschko-Chris Arreola: Pre-Fight Report Card

[Chase8400]

Ed:
It would be good for boxing in the U.S. A mMexican-American Heavyweight with big pop and personality can sell. Like it or not, the Klits have not been extremely popular here. Vit would have been, started to be, and still could be but it's a short window at 38.



Being #1 WBC challenger means NOTHING. Sanctioning body ratings are only marginally about merit. Did Arreola beat any serious contenders to get that ranking? No.

And there isn't much credit for beating any of these guys because this is so visibly an ass generation at Heavy. However, beating who is available is typically a way to respect in the long term. Arreola is part of what's there.

Sure being ranked #1 by the WBC means something. Were you not around long enough through Lennox's title reign to understand that out of the ten belts there are, the WBC is the most prestigious one? Ask Mayweather, Pac and Rjj to name a few. If that doesn't work for you , he is also ranked #6 by The Ring magazine rankings. You are one who never credits Cris in the first place and that's fine. But my gripe is with those who give him a good chance to win and after the fight go back say they knew it all along and that he was never a credible challenger. If that doesn't apply to you, don't respond.

Arreola says VK has never fought anybody like him, on the contrary, Arreola has never fought anybody like VK. Most of Arreolas wins that i have seen have been from guys that stood in front of him, where he could land his big bombs, Klitschko will be nowhere in range for Arreola to nail him like he did Witherspoon and Walker. The range will be the difference. Sure if Vitali just stood in front of him like his other opponents then flabby chest has a chance, but thats not going to happen now is it.

Vitali won't stand in front of Arreola cuz he's gonna be running or trying to.And one moer thing,you're retarted.You are using the same **** that everyone says about Klit opponents,that they just stand in front of him.Which by the way is totaly untrue.Get your head out your ass and try to atleast sound like you know something.Jab jab right ain't gonna help tonite.Arreola all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you're right man. My heart wants Arreola to win but my head says Klit will most probably knock him out.

I am thinking the same. I kinda smell "upset" tonight.

I don't care which belt people like to pay for...their ranking are mostly trash based on merit. It's a pay to play system. What I should have said is means NOTHING in terms of how good a fighter is or isn't. That's a coin flip with those trash ratings.

all i've read about on this forum the past few days is about klit and poon.

lmfao! @ that!!!!

See how the author ranks the fighters kinda close, giving Klitschko a slight edge in a few categories?

How is predicting a second round KO for Vitali ranking them close, Chase?

"The Pick

Klitschko will win because he’s a better fighter ... If this corner was betting, it would say the check gets cashed around the second or third round."

No.

It's just Arreola's farts.

Arreola says VK has never fought anybody like him, on the contrary, Arreola has never fought anybody like VK.

Not "on the contrary" at all. Both statements are true. Neither has fought anyone like the other.

"The Pick

The ranks in each category, such as punching power, chin, etc....not the actual prediction.

On an updated note: Now that Vitali dominated, Cris will have been a no hoper that never stood a shot and didn't belong in the ring, despite giving a better account of himself than Marquez did fighting Mayweather.

You will see. Btw, good to talk to you again Dave.
