And new champion: Bernard Stiverne. We have a HW championship fight coming up for a new champion in years! It is the beginning of a new era which the heavies will be back in North america. :happy
Odds are even for Arreola/Stiverne. Arreola to become the first Mexican American heavyweight champion of the world! KO4 Lol @ Wilder to become the champ in 2015. Arreola will destroy him in 60 seconds.
Stiverne is from Haiti but boxe from Quebec where he has been leaving for a while now. He hangs out with superpimp (I think they go to the same gim) and his agent is Eye of the tiger management. Wilder, you mean Wilder, a champ?
Klit had the chance to fight Stiverne for about two years but he refused. I am mostly excited because it is gonna spice things up in the heavies.
Still think Arreola is going to beat him this time. When I think Stiverne, I just can't shake the image of a 40 year old shot Ray Austin going all "Larry Holmes" on Bermane's ass. It made it clear to me that he can't fight guys who have a decent jab in their arnsenal, but fortunately for him Arreola doesn't have one. Still I think he, like Arreola, is too easy to hit. And judging from fight one he has to land something big early again to keep Christobal off him.
The winner of Stiverne - Arreola will have to face Wilder or lose the belt. The winner of that match up will have to face the winner of Jennings - Perez or lose the belt. WBC has mandated two back to back mandatory bouts and i must say it´s a good string of HW fights. Well Wilder is the weak link but him vs anyone good will probably be a fun fight.
