Cris 'The Nightmare' Arreola vs Bermane 'B.Ware' Stiverne

[El Kabong]

So this WBC Title eliminator looks like it is going to happen as soon as Arreola gets cleared by the doctors (so says fightnews.com).

TALE OF THE TAPE

Height: Arreola 6'3, Stiverne 6'2
Weight:(last fight) Arreola 245, Stiverne 243
Reach: Arreola 76", Stiverne 80"


Well guys THIS is a heavyweight matchup that could be a barn burner. 2 guys looking for a shot at a major title. Both big punchers, both not known for defense, it should be a hell of a match and I hope to God somebody somewhere decides its a great fight to put on TV because these two fellas will both be aiming for a KO.

who ya got?

What do we know about Bermaine's chin? I saw on boxrec he was knocked out by an 11-15 fighter. I lean Arreola because of the level of competition. I agree, however, that this should be a good fight on paper. When is Arreola not in a good fight?

[El Kabong]

The guy Stiverne lost to is a big puncher so I'm not certain we can read much into that. Arreola has been hurt in a couple of his fights as well. I think Arreola is the better boxer, but I am leaning towards Stiverne to win.

Come on chris come over here and fight tyson fury
Or fight Kevin johnson

[armin]

I'm backing chris the two times I've seen stiverne I wasn't impressed at all, granted not much to go by. arreola got experience on his side and he's been in with the far better competition...stivernes best win is squeaking out a ko in a close fight with an old ray austin, not impressive.

If only today's HW's were as good as their nicknames....




(Is this Stiverne guy even ranked?)

[El Kabong]

Yes Stiverne is ranked! He has a solid record and is a devistating power puncher.

To all those who know about Tyson Fury how good would you consider him to be?

Tyson Fury? From what little I have seen he is an underwhelming and fairly mediocre prospect.
