Stiverne vs. Arreola.

[Master]

How would you rate this era of HWs?

Also, I want Stiverne to win. Arreola had his chance at fighting a Klitschko. Stiverne was robbed of his chance at Vitali.

Why was he robbed?

Because he won a title eliminator, but Vitali was allowed to do nothing but sit around with the title, and got the deadline for his defense extended TWICE.

There's also the fact that he has to fight Arreola twice, even though he dominated him in the first fight.

Reminds me a bit of Mayweather's lame "retirement". Dude was lucky to get a split-decision win over De La Hoya, but De la Hoya has a 1 year rematch clause, so Mayweather retires for 1 year 1 day, lol...

I don't see either of them beating Wlad, though.

Maybe Stiverne could have a decent chance if he worked on head movement. He has a good punch.

Yeah keyword "A" ....To stop Wlad sure you have got to hurt him but you also have to follow up which is extremely difficult now a days. I don't think Stiverne can do that. Arreola has a good chin, decent work great and good power I think if he could cut the ring off well then maybe he could give Wlad trouble but that is if Cris fights his absolute best and Wlad gets lazy in training.

If Arreola loses, it'll be a huge backwards step for him, and at 33 years old, time's running out.

C'mon, let's be real, Stiverne's not getting any farther in Boxing.

Usually the fighter who won the 1st time also wins the rematch, but I think Arreola will be in the minority with the guys that turn it around to win the rematch. If he could win by KO, that'd be impressive, that'd get folks talking about another Title Challenge.

Arreola will box this time and wear him down. Austin was beating Bermane before he got caught. I think both fighters still have futures in the division but neither as champions.

Stiverne as a possible opponent of Wilder piques my interest.

Arreola just has a fun style and a good attitude, he'll stick around.
