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

[Rantcatrat]

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?

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.
