Vitali Klitschko dominated Chris Arreola for ten rounds before the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.

Arreola's plan from the outst was to get ide and the taller Klitschko's plan was to keep Arreola on the outside with a series of power punches. Arrola never gave up and cetainly made Klitschko work for the victory though at a glance it would appear to be one sided.

Arreola's best work came when he could get in close enough to worh the body. Unfortunately for Arrola, this territory came with a stiff price as he usually had to absorb some pretty stiff punches from the taller champion.

Arreola didn't appear to be in his best shape for this chance of a life time but he never slowed down and was game until the very end. While Arreola's style can appear awkward and he does get hit an awful lot, this was the same style that got him to a record of 27-0 before suffering the first defeat of his career last night.

Klitschko looked all but the 38 years old he is and while his style can be awkward as well, he had more than enough for the shorter challenger. Klitschko improved his record to 38-2.

The referee stopped the fight just as it began to get interesting. Well its not over till its over and who knows who would have won after 500 rounds.
