Give Stiverne a Little credit

well atleast he did beter than solis did against austin

 

i wonder if anybody saw that fight, i cant find it anywhere. i heard it was a premature stoppage against king.

 

boxrec has him at 6'2". he does look like a football player. 10 pounds would do him wonders

 

I just can't stand watching negative fighters.. The guy has openings, but just won't throw.. it;s the hardest thing to watch, I sat through 10 rounds waiting for the fight to start.. Austin looked old real old, and Stivernne brought nothing, I don't want to have to sit through that again..

 

good point.

not to mention the knockout shot itself, I don't like calling a lucky punch but the way it came from the top and made his neck tilt, it wasn't a normal punch that's for sure.

 

No he didn't.

He got a "better" result on paper, in a KO instead of a DQ...but both went into the 10th round with Austin and during the preceding 9 rounds Solis was NOT getting his ears boxed off; Stiverne was.

So he did much, much, much worse than Solis against Austin.

WTF are you even talking about? :blood

 

ettiene was tough for a time so an 'early' loss to him aint' all that bad. Shufford could box and is probably at least on par with a 41 year old ray austin (who would've outpointed Stiverene if he didn't duck down and get hit on the top of the head). Lamon was no world beater IMO but this guy needs a lot of work to even get to lamon's level imo (and he's 32 already isn't he)

 

The guy sucks.

 

Could not agree more:good.

Solis was lleading at the scorecard at the time of the DQ.
Austin was leading agaisnt Stiverne :good

In both fights Austin was deducted points.
Rest my case.

 

Solis, in reality, was kicking the **** out of austin and on the way to stopping him. Even corrupt judges couldn't put austin as far ahead as he was vs stiverne.

Austin is what? Top 30 maybe at a push and years past his best (whenever that was). He was schooling stiverne, replace austin's pillow shots with a wlad 1-2 combo and the fight doesn't go beyond 10 minutes.

 

i just think the bright lights almost got the better of stiverne....

 

Stiverne is Vitali's mandatory, yes, WBC mandatory! Why does Ray Austin get so many title shots and elimination fights? Don King!

 

Stiverne dont have the head movement and body balance to win against the K brothers. As short as he is, he needs to go at them big boys like Joe Frazier or an early Mike Tyson. Any other style will get a shorty knocked out. In my opinion.
