    Stiverne is a live underdog but I'd be backing Vitali to win on points. Probably by about 2 or 3 points. It's an intriguing fight.

    Even though im a big Vitali fan im a bigger heavyweight boxing fan, as shitty as an end it would be for him to win on a cuts victory and retire like that its his time

    I was hoping he would retire and have let Stiverne vs Arreola winner claim the vacant belt

    Vitali probably beats Stiverne easily and disrupts the transition from the Klitschkos to the next era

    lost faith in Vitalis ability to finis guys dont think he gets Stiverne outta there

    Both Vlad and Vitali are pretty long in the tooth and the only reason they are still at the top of HW division is their size and severe lack of serious competition. Having said that, I think Steverne has a good shot if he fights the way he did against Areola and slip that jab and avoid the stiff arm tactics.

    chris arreola faught scared way before he was dropped.then when he got hit he really looked scared.i never seen chris fight like that.tough to fight when your scared.i sparred alot when i was younger and many times when i went in with certain fighters it was pretty damn hard to fight my normal fight.fear can cripple a man.

    anyways stiverne should be undefeated.that lose to king was one of the biggest bullcrap stoppages i have ever seen.

    If that fight happens, Vitali will will give Bermane a nasty beating.

    You're right, it was an early stoppage. He wasn't at all badly hurt at all.

    Vitali's weak skin will let him down again if he fights Stiverne. Stiverne is underrated and will expose who ever he fights next. Stiverne would punish Pulev.

    Hard call, Vitali has slowed down, and he has showed troubles in keeping a decent work rate through all the rounds; plus his long legs are turning to wood, he has lost a lot of mobility; maybe at this point he should just keep an high guard and try to work more on the inside, since he's no more able to avoid the shots as he was used to.

    Chisora, fighting the best fight of his life, has showed that Vitali is now vulnerable even to B-C class levels;
    Particularly, he could end up breaking something during training, it wouldn't be surprising;

    Call me mad, but i'm starting to think the hard chinned Stiverne would be the slightly favourite in this fight.

    Vitali on points, something like an 11-1 or 10-2 decision, Stiverne is like a head shorter, but he showed pretty good defense vs Arreola, i under-rated him in that department, but Vit will keep him at distance and pick him off round by round, though i predict he will get caught a couple of times, particularly with the left hook, which Siverne seems to throws so well after a little feint
