Tomorrow night, "Dr. Ironfist" Vitali Klitschko (37-2) defends his WBC Heavyweight Championship against Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola (27-0) on HBO. With wins over fellow prospects Travis Walker and Chazz Witherspoon, as well as a 4th round TKO of Jameel McCline, Arreola has proven himself to some extent to be a legitimate challenger. He's a hard puncher with a decent activity level and a good chin. Meanwhile, Klitschko has just dominated all opponents of late. Vitali has looked so good against both Samuel Peter and Juan Carlos Gomez, one might never know he was out of the ring for 4 years. Both weighed in around 250, but the strength advantage has to go to Klitschko. In a fight where I expect some early bombs from Arreola, I'll take Vitali Klitschko to wear him down due to either cuts or stamina problems. Joel's Ready to Rumble squad is looking for a quality knockout, around the 7th round.
