I look at this matchup, and I can only think one thing: You've been had.
Arreoloa, with his record of 27-0-1 (24 KOs) Sounds good. So look at who he's fought. I don't recognize a single name on the card. But some of them have good records (at the time of the fight):
Travis Walker 28-1-1
Israel Garcia 19-1
Chazz Witherspoon 23-0
Thomas Hayes 26-1
Looks good, until you look deeper. Take a look at the first one: Travis Walker. The record of his last 4 opponents: 67-70.
Israel Garcia:
He lost his last 2 fights to opponents at 27-0 and 26-0; the prior 3 opponents were a combined 27-26.
Chazz Witherspoon: last 5 fights, combined records of 81-49.
By the numbers, Arreoloa is just a "master of the creme puffs". He has made a career of beating up other guys that do ok against other creme puffs. I'm not convinced that he has any business going into the ring against a world-class boxer.
Arreoloa is not a championship caliber fighter. I don't see how he can compete against superior skill and reach.
I'll lay the chalk: Klitschko -600
