WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KOs) turns "The Nightmare" into a simple "daydream" as he successfully defended his world title against previously undefeated #1 ranked contender Cristobal Arreola (27-1, 24 KOs) via tenth round TKO on Saturday night at the STAPLES Arena in Los Angeles. Klitschko was able to score effectively at a distance, while moving laterally and countering, against the aggressive Arreola. Chris, who pushed the pace of the fight made the 38 year-old Vitali work harder than usual, but 6'7" champion

looked in great shape as he adapted to the pressure. The fight got more one-sided as the rounds progressed, as Vitali totally shut down every tactic Arreola tempted, and referee Jon Schorle finally stopped the punishment at the end of round ten.
