Vitali's Getting His Ass Beat In Sparring

[Benny Leonard]

some people just look at one sparring fight and they say he ****ed up.

Sometimes a person doesnt come 100% everyday it happen to everyone you and me as well as Vital and Mayweather.

They are human after all.

This is true. I don't think the article specified when the sparring match occurred. Was it in the beginning or towards the end? If it was towards the end it would be a little more concerning...although still, Chris isn't 5'10.
And I'm not sure about the sparring partner but Chris isn't agile and doesn't have the head movement needed.

Now does that mean Chris can't pull this off? No...but he is a heavy underdog for a reason. He is fighting Vitali.

[Benny Leonard]

I'd never seen him before, but Butler's pretty nasty with the head and upper body movement. This should be over 15 years old though.

Yup....not Chris.




Chris isn't going to fight like that. Chances are he is going to attack attack attack....

I was already counting on Arreola to give Vitali the type of body work he's never felt before on fight night, but combining these tidbits with what I already knew strengthens my confidence in what Arreola will be able to do.

And Vitali's lower body movement wasn't much to write home about anyway, but if he's going into the fight with his knee not being 100%, it's gonna be a great fight. Arreola's gonna take it to him and Klit's only recourse would be getting in a fire fight.

Yeah but the weight dude. You need to be in top shape to put work on a guy like VK. Perfect guy to take advantage of VK right now is a strong, powerful combination puncher who has top stamina (or a slick defensive mover but there aint many at HW)....Cris has all those things but we don't know how his stamina is gonna go.

[The Hammer]

Vitali is a great fighter, but he's not superman and anything is possible. He's age 38 and has had a lot of serious injuries.

I think people underestimate Cris Arreola because of his physical appearance, but I've seen eight of his fights and I'm telling you, he's a very dangerous opponent for any heavyweight.

I'm more worried about this one than I've been before Wlad and Vitali's other recent fights.

Wasn't Peterson said to be beating mayweahter in sparring? It does not mean anything. oreola is getting kayoed brutally

I talked to the master chief yesterday and here's my prediction (if anyone cares):

I think it's going to be a pretty interesting fight and would even say that you can compare it to Vitali's outing against Corrie Sanders 5 years ago - question is: Does Arreola have a better stamina than the South African part-time golfer? If the answer is "yes" we'll have one of the best heavyweight bouts on our hands since Brewster - Krasniqi. Ok, Arreola doesn't have that dynamic right hook that troubled Vitali early on vs. Sanders but that straight right of Arreola might very well give us an even fight for at least 6-7 rounds. The other question then would be if Vitali in the shape he was back then to abide the storm.

So cheers and enjoy as you might very well regret missing it

well that guy must have good head movement for a heveyweight....and i aggre it is a forgotten art

[AKATheMack]

We hear this **** before every big fight and it matters about 50% of the time which means it actually doesnt mean ****.Hatton got beat up in sparring and lost, Mayweather got beat up in sparring and pitched a shutout.

[keepthemhandsup]

Yup....not Chris.

now that i seen that

arreloa gonna get that ass tatted

I hope you are around after the fight.

I will be and you and the others predicting a blowout will look like clowns. Like I've said before, I'm not directly predicting an Arreola win, but the fight will be competitive up until one of them get tired. Unlike you, I'm not so sure Arreola will be the first to tire, Vitali's gonna have to dig deep. You can quote me on it.

50% aren't good odds?

Mayweather was rumored to get his ass beat by undefeated contender Anthony Peterson. Who was Hatton getting beat up by?

And Vitali is getting beat by a 40+ year old journeyman/contender.
