I'm personally not giving The Big Nipple much of a shot, but that isn't to say I don't like the guy. He is awesome to watch, always puts on a great show and I'll definitely be cheering for him. The reports are he's looking in great shape in training camp, so I hope to see him at least show us the heart of a true Mexican warrior.

And for those that haven't seen the Big Nipple fight before, check out his fight against Travis Walker from a year or so ago:




And this is quick highlights from his last fight against Jameel McCline


(note: against McCline I do believe he came in at his heaviest weight. From what they are reporting on boxing sites he's slimmed down a bit and is in great shape so we'll see).

You know, initially I thought that Arreola could last the distance, but Vitali's upright style will force Arreola to try and get inside, and in the process I think he's going to get caught with a viscious right over the top and his head will be severed from the rest of his body.

On top of that Klitschko is 6'8 with an 80" reach. lol. And I question if the Big Nip is even really 6'4 himself.

Here is a picture of Paul Williams, who is "officially" 6'1-6'2, standing next to Chris:


So either Paul Williams is about 6'4½ or Arreola is about 6'1-6'2

I like watching Chris fight. Dude is hella funny in his interviews too. I just don't think he's a world class fighter yet. I'll be rooting for him though.

Vitali will make him back up with jabs and power shots, then Arreola will get battered against the ropes with thudding accurate punches. Each punch has a 2 or 3 second delay in between each one, but Arreola will just sit there and cover up.

That's how I see it going down...
I'm cheering for an exciting fight.

You know, Arreola faired better than most of Vitali's past opponents, but man, the ref was not helping at all. He'd break them up instantly, but never gave any warnings for clinching.

Not saying that he was responsible for Arreola's loss, but Nipple's only chance in that fight was to get inside and do damage that way.

I'd like to see Wlad vs Vitali, and they've sounded more open to it then before, but at the end of the day, they are brothers, so probably not.

That would be a huge fight though.
