Make no mistake, Vitali is still 10x the fighter Arreola is and isn't a fat pig. Stiverne is a punching bag and Vitali will DESTROY him.
Well still the most impressive heavyweight out there except Haye. I don't really count povetkin as a heavyweight since he will be ducking the brothers until they retire probably.
Vitali will quit like he did when the going got tough against Byrd. Stiverne is 10x the puncher Byrd is.. who was feather fisted.
Vitali will certainly retire now after watching the beatdown Stiverne put on Arreola. Stiverne has been demanding the Vitali fight for years and has now backed Vitali into a corner, Vitali will duck and retire from him now.
Yet couldn't even put him down. Stiverne beat Arreola into a bloody pulp. No doubt old shot Vitali wants none of that. I expect him to anounce his retirement this week after seeing that.
You know Vitali quit because of a very serious shoulder injury right? The same injury which contributed to him retiring that first time. Vitali was way ahead on the cards, its easy to just look at boxrec and see the result, it takes a real fan to know the story and background
FIrst of all, Vitali is way past his prime and is due to get knocked out. He hasn't boxed anyone with punching power. Stiverne is not a threat at all....I would take Deontay Wilder any day over Stiverne!
Can someone tell me how Stiverne won and how this fight went the distance, 2 chubby guys with legit power and it went the distance lol im still in shock Can someone break down in a few sentences what happened I only watched the first round
One thing the last 3 weekends has shown (and the next few) is that no-one outside Germany gives a flying **** about the HW division. [yt]?v=npjOSLCR2hE[/yt]
I thought Stiverne showed a lot in that fight. He set up that shot to the head brilliantly. Just left himself too little time in the round to finish Chris. His attack was varied. His chin was solid. And his movement and defense was also solid. He won't be the favorite but you'd have to give him a good chance. IMO I'd love to see him against Wlad. A big guy like him might be able to pull a brewster.
