[chris6878]

Stiverne fights like he's on valium.

Chris gonna need all types of drugs to mask the pain of those mean ass body blows

It's going to be very difficult for Chris Arreola to bounce back and be a contender after this loss.

I'd like to see him get one more good fight for work on his skills before wlad. Also he needs to step his blocking game up. He was looking real shifty and quick when he was avoiding punches. I'd like to see him kd wlad and see what happens

Don't get too excited, Stiverne is good but don't throw him in with the big dogs yet. He needs a few more fights.
Arreola is finding the level he belongs at, and it's not at the top. I've never had high hopes for him, but he is tough as they come with good power and likes to mix it up so he is always entertaining.

Yeah, really though.

He beats a 42 year old Ray Austin and Chris Arreola, and now he's supposed to jump right in there with Wlad?

Why is Junior fighting Vera? Why didn't he wait to see what happened in this fight before fighting Vera? In the alternative, why didn't Junior face Barker? Vera at 165 is way out of his optimal weight class.

Why is Junior fighting Vera?

You mean instead of Golovkin or even Murray? Easy. Team Chavez made the mistake of putting Junior's "0" on the line against the first credible opposition he's ever faced, Sergio Martinez. The "0" is now gone, but not the goal of having Junior amass the 100 victories his daddy reached. Ok, so the Martinez fight was a glitch in the masterplan... but now it's back to Plan B.

Vera is there to be hit. Before his last fight with Donatas Bondorovas, Vera publicly said he'd rather not have to face Chavez. But guess what? He won that fight (albeit not too convincingly)... and money talks. So Vera will gladly assume the role of cannon fodder for Junior, who is sure to come into the fight at somewhere between 180 and 190 pounds. Team Chavez will not make THAT mistake again.... no sir.

Need I say more?

Barker punked out and said no
