    Round 8

    Austin is again using the Wladimir Klitschko trick, holding his left arm out stiff as a board in Stiverne's face. Big power shots by Stiverne, crowding Austin into the ropes and blasting him with left and right sledgehammers. 1-2 by Austin as he circles outside. Lunging 1-2 by Stiverne, followed by a long and badly telegraphed overhand right. Austin is cleaving to the ropes and holding both his long arms outstretched to keep Stiverne at bay. Soft jabs from Austin. Stiverne just lingers at the end of Austin's push jab. Stiverne is taking a breather, maybe having punched himself out a bit with his minimal effort earlier. Wild left hook by Stiverne just misses. Austin reaches out with both arms and pushes Stiverne several feet back. Austin looks gassed. Body shot by Stiverne.

    10-9 Stiverne

    77-74 Austin

    Against full time construction workers im sure he does but when he "steps up" against and ancient Ray austin he gets outclassed and is making Ray Austin look like Larry ****ing Holmes.

    Close round again. Tough to say who was in control of that round.

    I'm going to give that round to Austin. Close one though.

    77-74 Austin.

    :patsch neither of these guys are highly rated HWs. Holy crap people stop writing the obituary for the HW division for something that isn't representative of HW boxing

    Neither of these guys should be rated in the Top 50. The fact that HBO and the WBC are presenting and rating these guys as 'contenders' is disgraceful beyond words.

    They're both Black though so King and HBO can turn them into 'contenders' with the American public.
