Photo/ Jan Sanders-Goossen Tutor – By Sean McDaniel: Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) weighed in at 250 at yesterday’s weigh-in, which is Arreola’s best weight for him since the 239 he came in for his win over Chazz Witherspoon in June 2008. On Saturday night, the 29-year-old Arreola will be fighting former light heavyweight and cruiserweight Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California. Arreola wanted to come in as light as possible, as he felt that he would have to run Adamek down during the fight.
Tomasz Adamek

Adamek, weighed in at a slender 217, three pounds lighter than his last fight at 220 against Jason Estrada in February. Adamek had talked about coming in heavier for this fight, but seems to have chosen instead to be lighter to give him more speed to move against the heavier Arreola.
Arreola talks Adamek, Haye and Hopkins – News
By Jim Dower: Heavyweight contender Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) will be fighting Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) this Saturday at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California. Arreola, 29, thinks that Adamek will run from his this Saturday. In an interview at Livepuncher.com, Arreola says “He’s [Adamek] a run type of fighter.” There’s no question that Adamek will be running from Arreola and trying hard to limit the amount of exchanges between them.
Prediction: Arreola by 8th round TKO over Adamek
By Chris Williams: Heavyweight contender Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) needs to beat Tomasz Adamek (41-1, 27 KO’s) this Saturday night if he wants to get another title shot in the near future. This bout is very important for Arreola. He was dominated by World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in a 10th round stoppage last year in September, and he can no longer afford to get beaten if he wants to stay in the running for another good payday, this one likely against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Klitschko Should Be Eyeing Povetkin or Haye not Areola-Adamek Winner
By Armando Paz: There are really only two viable options for Wladimir Klitschko (54-3 48 KO’s) for his next defense of his heavyweight titles and that is either Alexander Povetkin (19-0 14 KO’s) or David Haye (24-1 22 KO’s). The boxing public is not going to be deceived with the winner of the Areola-Adamek match is a worthy match for Klitschko.

By Jason Kim: Heavyweight Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) expects for Polish heavyweight Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) to move a lot this Saturday in their fight at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California. Arreola, 29, will have the youth and size advantage against the 33-year-old Adamek, who will probably come into the fight at a little better than 220. If Adamek comes in at 230, you can bet that he’ll be slower and less able to run the way that he’s accustomed to.
Adamek vs. Arreola winner could face Wladimir Klitschko next
By Jim Dower: The winner of this Saturday night’s fight between top heavyweight contenders Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) and Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) could be facing International Boxing Federation/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next, according to news from the Los Angeles Times. Arreola and Adamek will be facing off at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California. Klitschko, 34, likes what he sees in the big punching Arreola, saying “I was in my brother’s [WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko] corner when he beat Arreola in Staples. I can see Arreola has potential. Also, he’s rough around the edges. I’ll be watching Adamek-Arreola and the winner will be deserving of a shot at my belts.”
How would Haye do against the winner of Adamek vs. Arreola?
By Scott Gilfoid: Before facing the Klitschko brothers and likely getting totally destroyed, I think WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) should prove himself as a heavyweight by fighting the winner of the April 24th clash between Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) vs. Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s). I think Haye, if he could beat the winner of this fight and look good in doing so, he would have at least shown that he deserves to be in the same ring with the Klitschko brothers. As of now, I think Haye doesn’t have any business fighting either of the Klitschko brothers because of his lack of experience.
Arreola: “Doesn’t matter if I have to go through David Gaye, I want that title”

By Chris Williams: Heavyweight contender Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) makes it pretty clear that he thinks that former International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) will be running from him when they meet on April 24th, at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California. In their recent press conference Arreola, 28, said in an interview by Ring.tvt: “Of course he [Adamek] can handle my power. To me it really doesn’t matter. If you can carry your weight up, but will he? I don’t think so. I don’t think he’s going to fight me the way he fought in the cruiserweight and light heavyweight. He’s going to run a lot. I am going to chase him and be ready to go 12 rounds and chase him around the ring.”
