Looks like this fight might be happening and a great matchup. Going on a limb here. Stivern by KO in a slugfest. This has a slugfest written all over it
There's already a thread about it. Stiverne is too easy to hit, and against someone like Arreola that would mean trouble. So I have Chris by KO (mid fight because he ca take a punch).
hard one to call...im only picking stiverne because i dont want to see arreolla fight vitali again lol
oh my god! the dude whose greatest achievement by far is knocking out old ass bum ray austin? sweet. this stiverne character isn't good at all. i'll leave it at that. the hw division is grasping at straws in terms of worthy title challengers, simply put. if he does get a hw title shot though, he's a bum and he's black, so he'll satisfy the most deluded of klitschko fans. who knows, he may even be compared to sonny liston at some point on these forums because of his reach.
Interesting fight to me it is a toss up fight. Stiverne is not a bad fighter much better than the bums Arreola is used to fighting.
This would actually be a good action fight, Arreola would be the favorite but he's not a lock here. Interesting that Arreola would pull out of a probable shot with Wlad, especially since he has a better shot at beating Wlad than he does Vitali. I agree withh most in thinking that the hope is for Vitali to retire after he bludgeons Charr. Then this fight gets elevated to being for Vitali's vacant title. Arreola, if he wins, would be the first Mexican champ and could make a couple easy defenses before taking on Wlad in a big unification fight. Also makes you wonder who Wlad takes on this year after he beats up on Thompson. If he still plans to fight in the US than he doesn't have many options, for that time frame, outside of Adamek so I guess his next fight will be Adamek in the US or more likely someone else in Germany.
