Bermane Stiverne vs Chris Arreola III

This is ridiculous, Arreola was dominated the first fight and knocked silly the second fight. There is no other outcome.

 

Same here.

 

Um.

Arreola won the first two rounds of their first encounter, and 4 of 5 heading into the sixth in their rematch.

If anything the pattern is that when no parts of him are broken early (nose the 1st time, hand in the rematch) Arreola boxes Stiverne's head off.

 

:deal Yea Arreola improved alot in his defense before he got caught he was doing well. Id love to see Arreola slug it out, but he can't do that with Stiverne, unless he can neutralize those wicked right hands from Stiverne.

 

:rofl

 

Illusion based solely off of Arreola's workrate. He never commanded control of the fight. Anybody in the top 10 would outwork Stiverne, he lets the other fighter work and shoots counters, he's a lazy guy. I see nothing from either fight that says a third (which I don't want to see) would be any different.
:conf

 

It's pretty obvious from the 2 previous fight Stiverne would beat Arreola every single time.

Arreola has a decent chin but he's too easy to hit and can only fight one way. He will always have to walk through fire to get to Stiverne and Stiverne seems to have a good enough chin to take whatever Arreola can throw at him and then catch Chris coming in and hurt him.

The first fight we saw him dropped heavily and was then basically useless for the rest of the fight as he didn't dare just walk in. In the 2nd fight he bit the bullet and went for broke and went for the KO in the hope he would get it before Stiverne KO'ed him. It didn't work, Stiverne took in all and crushed him. Arreola can't do anything differently, he is what he is and that's why he's lost every time he has stepped up.

 

Yes even when under pressure and losing rounds I never thought for one second that Stiverne wasn't in control and doing what he wanted.

Stiverne is all wrong for him and Arreola has always been a domestic level fighter.

 

No, it wasn't an illusion based off work rate, as 1) I'm the last person you'll find awarding rounds on the basis of pure work rate/ineffective aggression and b) just because Arreola managed to outbox Stiverne (which he did, early in both fights) doesn't mean he's a good boxer. It just means Stiverne is a terrible boxer. (see the Ray Austin fight - or the Deontay Wilder loss, of course)

 

Stiverne has Chris' number he would win again.

 

I see.

So, I take it that you are one of the many that credit Vitali with a win over Lennox based on that logic.

 

Nope. Pretty stupid extrapolation on your part.

 

How so?

Vitali was boxing Lennox's head off. He was up on all the cards. He only lost due to being cut.

Where is the error in the logic?

I think someone (IB) has a bit of a double standard.

 

Based on the low output from Stiverne in his last fight and the fact CHRIS was spanking him in the second fight:yep
I pick nipples.....and twist them as well:good
