Klitschko was strong in the first as Arreola could not find a way to get inside. Klitschko used the jab, moved around the ring and hit Arreola with some good rights. Arreola put a lot of pressure on Klitschko in the second round. Vitali was always on the move and trying to land his right hands down the middle. Arreola made him move but he couldn't land much. Arreola began to get closer in third round. The two would trade some hard puncehs at the midway point of the third. Klitschko continued with the jab to end it off.

Arreola came out game in the fourth, landing two good shots to make Klitschko stumble at the start. He continued to come forward and land some good punches but took many more than he landed. Klitschko was once again on the move in the fifth, running and trying to stay away from an incoming Arreola. Arreola worked on Klitschko's body well when he pinned him against the ropes. Klitschko stood on the move and landed straight punches with Arreola coming forward with pressure. Klitschko dominated the action in the sixth. Arreola managed to land some decent shots. Not enough with Klitschko landing many more.

During the seventh round, Klitschko continued to pound on Arreola who never stopped coming. Arreola was taking a beating for nearly the entire three minutes. He landed two good punches in the closing seconds. Arreola closed the gap in the eight round. He landed several good shots to the head and body of Klitschko. Arreola's nose and mouth began to bleed. It appeared as if Arreola's nose may have been broken.
