    Sounds a little bit like Lennox Lewis.

    Looking forward to it. Hope Cris makes a good account of himself in front the LA USC crowd.

    I am still pulling for Arreola. But, 237 for him is NOT in good shape.

    I agree- this will be a different fight- I see Arreola winning by TKO round 7
    Stiverne is good, and I hope him the best in the future- but he won't be able to hold off the pressing Arreola and the power of the promise Chris has made to his daughter
    This will be different

    You're gonna be in for a surprise then come the 10th May.

    Stiverne took Arreola's power without any problems in the first fight and the so called pressure will once again be diffused by Stiverne movement, boxing skills and power.

    Arreola only threw 9 punches in round 3, 9 punches! He was totally befuddled once Stiverne figured him out and then got dropped. Arreola is a sucker for the right hand when he walks in. I expect an even worse beating for Arreola 2nd time around.

    Actually, Arreola was outboxing Stiverne until he caught a punch on his nose which was broken, however, even in that fight he hung on and had Stiverne in trouble on the ropes, I think it was in the 8th round, but he did not have the gas to finish him off because of his broken nose...........this time I have to give Arreola a good chance of beating Stiverne, if Arreola wins, I will not be surprised.........The problem with a Stiverne win is the fact that Don Kings owns him and King will be bad for boxing once again..........

    Arreola was being totally out boxed in the 3rd round before he had his nose broken hence why he was only thew 9 punches.

    Stiverne simply took the first 2 rounds off to have a look at Arreola just like Hopkins did in his last fight with Shumenov before going on to dominate and drop his opponent just like Stiverne did with Arreola. Just because Stivrne took a couple of rounds to gauge Arreola doesn't mean Arreola was ever in full control of the fight because he never was. We'll see this in the rematch.

    Does anyone ever think, in shape or not, Maybe he's just not a top level boxer? He'll beat good fighters but will fall short against the top guys. He's tough, can punch a bit and has heart, but lets be honest, he's a little overrated. Been fighting bums for the past few years until he came up against Stiverne and lost. He's has ample opportunity to get in shape. Being i shape is not something to rave about, that should be a minimum requirement for any pro boxer, athlete etc.

    being in shape, doesn't mean you improve your skills either. Though it shows that he has prepared better and taking things more seriously. We will find out.

    We have to give Christobal our support. He's a no b.s. guy and I think he KO's Stiverne this time-5th round.
