Stiverne vs. Arreola.

[VG_Addict]

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.

[El Kabong]

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.

[Max Power]

Is Wlad the GOAT?

No, but he could break top 10 before his career is over. Joe Louis is the greatest of all time

Don't let Max Power hear you say that.

LOL I don't give a crap until I start to hear preaching of the old testament. That's when I'll start preaching the "new testament" lol

[Max Power]

Well I've said it before but this time round I think Chris will get Stiverne by KO.

I think Chris would have won the first fight if he could have kept his big nose out of trouble. This time I think he will.

You heard it first from Max Power!! =P

Rumor has it Arreola is in terrific shape for this fight. I saw him at the Vanes ESPN2 fight a month and a half ago and he already looked in shape.

I heard him sobbing on ESPN about him wasting his money at Christmas time. What a prat and he should get his fat ass in condition, this is his professional sport FFS. I was not moved by the interview as you can tell and for that reason alone I want Stiverne to win.

I like Arreola--has enough heart for three fighters--and I hope he wins. The truth is I feel a lot like you do, he should stop whining about past mistakes and get to the business of being a man.
Taking care of your responsibilities isn't that big of a deal. Billions and billions of us, around the world, work on it every day.

I think Stiverne repeats and more impressively. I hope the winner takes on the winner of Perez v Jennings.

Woah I didn't even hear about that fight, solid solid match up. I didn't realize Arreola-Stiverne was actually for the full WBC title either, about time. Just glanced at their rankings and all four of those guys are in the top 5 as of now, I swear just recently Perez and Jennings weren't even in their top 10. Might suggest your hope is very possible, if also indicating how hopelessly full of shit/corrupt the organization is.

[Mr140]

Well if Chris wins i will consider him not a waste of space and a guy who rather eat fast food then train. I f he loses again then he wasn't really much and i will consider him Mexican buterbean from now on. Chirs has good hands but shit foot work this going to be a brawl i feel regardless.

[Silkeyjoe]

Somehow Arreola is not fav for this fight. I originally had him priced around 1/2 but you can get 5/4 on him/ Anyone put me off a big bet on him?

[109253]

Arreola must win

[TigerFan]

I think Stiverne beats him again. I'm rooting for Chris though.

I see the rematch ending in a knockout.
