Damian Calhoun, a.k.a. D.C. the guest blogger, blogged about the Vitali Klitschko-Chris Arreola fight on Saturday night at Staples Center. Here is his report:

So you think you want to be a sports writer?

Well, sometimes, you have to deal with situations like this…

I had all intentions on attending Saturday night's Chris Arreola-Vitali Klitschko heavyweight title fight from Staples Center. I had my main man Carlos Arias include my name for a credential last week, I received the word that it was taken care of.

I made it to Staples Center at about 4 p.m. and was told that I didn’t have a credential. (This never happens at a Golden Boy event).

Fast forward ahead: It turned out that I did have a credential, but I didn’t have a seat in the ringside media section. In fact, they wanted me to sit in Section 115, which is a great seat if the Lakers were playing, but not so much if I had to sit there with my laptop on my lap and with fans standing up in my way.

So, I finally reached the conclusion that I wasn’t wanted, so I decided to head home. So, instead of watching the preliminary fights, I’m watching the Galaxy-Columbus in a very important MLS game.

I will bring you my insights on the Arreola-Klitschko fight once HBO goes live.

5:46 p.m.

Galaxy defense is struggling, just let in a second goal ... 2-0 Columbus.

5:54 p.m.

Now I’m watching the Dodgers. They’re struggling in the seventh inning. Pirates have the bases loaded with two outs. George Sherrill is on the mound and there is a two-out, two-run single for the Pirates.

6:09 p.m.

Back to boxing: Carlos Arias picked Arreola to win. I think Klitschko will pull out a victory. I didn’t think Arreola was ready for this shot right now. I could be wrong. We’ll see. Arreola appears the USA’s only legit hope for a heavyweight champ.

6:28 p.m.

Back to baseball: Dodgers have scored twice in the eighth and still have the bases loaded. Jim Thome comes up with a two-run, pinch-hit single. They’re on their way to clinching a playoff berth.

6:39 p.m.

Back to boxing ...

HBO will be going live soon

6:58 p.m.

And we’re live ...

7:01 p.m.

First up, the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez replay. I already know how that story ends. The Arreola-Klitschko fight should start at around 8 or so.

7:05 p.m.

Did you know that the Mayweather-Marquez PPV generated more than a 1 million buys? I was one of them. Were you?

7:19 p.m.

Meanwhile, the replay is now in Round 4.

7:20 p.m.

Back in Staples, Javier Mora, is in the ring (Carlos Arias just tweeted). A couple of years ago, Mora was supposed to be the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion, but was never able to complete the deal. I should know, since I covered two of his fights: One was a second round knockout of Armando Rodriguez at the Irvine Marriott in May of 2004 and the other was a unanimous decision defeat to Fres Oquendo, in May of 2006.

Twitter heads make sure you follow Carlos @punchymcgee. Follow me @DamianCalhoun ... If you’re into that kind of stuff.

7:27 p.m.

This just in: Javier Mora loses a majority decision. Mayweather replay is in the 12th round.

7:53 p.m.

A Floyd Mayweather live interview. This should be fun. Funny moment: Mayweather clowned Sugar Shane Mosley for dodging him in 1999 and 2006, for a tooth ache.

8:02 p.m.

Who is Nikolay Valuev? HBO just put up the best American heavyweight hopefuls and yes, Arreola is our only hope.

8:04 p.m.

Klitschko is 10 years older. Is 3 ½ inches taller, has a 3 ½ reach advantage. Here come the combatants. First up, Arreola to the sounds of Jay-Z. Now, here comes the champ: Klitschko, rocking to AC/DC.

8:17 p.m.

Sounds like the majority of Staples Center is rolling with Arreola.

8:22 p.m.

Let’s start the show!!!!

Round 1

Klitschko looks like a giant in the ring compared to Arreola. Arreola had trouble trying to find the right distance. He has to get in and attack. Klitschko dominated the first round, but he still looks awkward.

Round 2

This is a Nightmare so far for Arreola. He’s pressuring Klitschko, but he’s not landing anything of substance. Big right by Klitschko.

This doesn’t look good at all.

Round 3

There is always the hope that Klitschko will punch himself out. Arreola is chasing three rounds already. He’s taking too much punishment, it could be time to get that towel ready.

Round 4

Arreola appears to be getting closer. He’s showing some life, but appears to have lost another round. He did get in a good left hook. Can Klitschko keep up this pace of sticking and moving? And why is a heavyweight running as much as he is.

Round 5

Arreola just said that Klitschko runs a lot. Yes, he does.

Round 6

I’m glad this fight wasn’t on PPV. Will any heavyweight fight ever be on PPV again? Halfway through and it doesn’t look good for Arreola.

PunchZone says Arreola has taken 98 punches to the chin.

Round 7

There’s a Wladimir Klitschko sighting. He works in Vitali’s corner. So far, it has been an easy night. Does he get paid?  Arreola only threw 32 punches in that round.

Round 8

Arreola got in some good lefts, waking up his fans. He’s not quitting, but he is bleeding. Frustrating.

Round 9

Arreola’s face is taking a beating. His trainer just said he has to take some chances. Harold Lederman has given one round to Arreola. I’m not sure which one and I don’t think he knows either.

Round 10

We could be entering KO time.

Check that ... TKO time ... The fight has been stopped, mercifully. Arreola is crying in the ring. There’s no cryinig in boxing.  Klitschko threw 802 punches and he’s a heavyweight. How does that happen?

Final thoughts

Dr. Iron Fist needs to meet Dr. Steel Hammer. ASAP. They’re only two legit heavyweights and they need to fight. Brothers have fought before. My nephews fight all the time. Come one, Klitschkos, get it together.

Arreola should thank whoever stopped the fight. I know he’s deeply disappointed, but he has the talents to climb back up the ladder. Then again, as long as the two Ukranians are on the top rung maybe everybody should stay off the ladder.

Arreola is the clubhouse leader in postfight interviews. I haven’t heard that many F- bombs and MF-bombs in a long time.

Keep punching.
