Vitali Klitschko defeated Chris Arreola to retain the World Boxing Council (WBC) Heavyweight Title via Technical Knockout (TKO) at the end of the 10th round. In the Klitschko VS. Arreola fight, Vitali Klitschko utlized his jab to keep Chris Arreola at bay and flustered the challenger all throughout the boxing match, much as how Floyd Mayweather defeated Juan Manuel Marquez a week earlier.
Klitschko thus retains his WBC Heavyweight Championship at the Staples Center, as he bloodied Arreola’s face early in the fight. Circling and jabbing Arreola constantly, Vitali almost shut the eyes of the challenger midway through the fight.
Henry Ramirez, the trainer of Chris Arreola, stopped the fight on behalf of his boxer at the end of the tenth round, which Arreola did not like. Ramirez stated about the Klitschko VS. Arreola results:
“He was taking too much punishment. When I told him I was going to stop the fight, he was irate. It was not an easy decision, but we had discussed it and I had to do it.”
The punches landed percentages revealed the results of the Klitschko-Arreola fight, as Vitaly Klitschko landed 301 of 802 punches for a 38% clip, while Chris Arreola only managed to land 86 of his 331 punches for a lowly 26%. In addition, the boxer from Ukraine landed a 151 of 283 power punches for 53 percent clip.
Before Klitschko defeated Arreola via TKO, Arreola kept coming back. Klitschko stated about the TKO:
“I was surprised he did not come out. This was a hard fight, like I expected. I know I was hurting him a lot, but he has a great, great chin. He’s a tough fighter, but I worked the body.”
Regardless of the Klitschko VS. Arreola fight results, Klitschko was ahead on all three scorecards. He was up 99-91 on two scorecards while one judge had it 100-89.
