Vitali Klitschko vs. Bermane Stiverne: who wins?

[The Hammer]

Bermane Stiverne is now Vitali Klitschko's WBC mandatory.

Vitali will be age 42 in July. Bermane looked very good last night.

Who wins?

Is there a real chance of an upset?

I think there is. Vitali looked slower in his past two fights, and will be another year older by the time this happens (if it happens).

I think there is. Vitali looked slower in his past two fights, and will be another year older by the time this happens (if it happens).

I think with Vitali's age, Stiverne has a real shot at winning this. He is a very well conditioned, well rounded boxer, especially for a bigger guy. He is just pretty small compared to Vitali.

[Derranged]

I'd give Stiverne a great chance. Vitali is old and should probably consider retirement. He hasn't taken too many beatings in his career, has plenty of money and probably is a smart businessman.

Vitali by late stoppage or wide UD.

[White_Knight]

Stiverne definitely looked good and performed better than expected. Nevertheless, I'm not sure he does as well against a significantly taller fighter. It took him 9 rounds to dispose of an old Ray Austin.

Close win by decision for either guy but probably Vitali.

[White_Knight]

In the Haye vs Fury poll I accidently pressed Fury by KO; now I accidently pressed Vitali by KO. I should retire.

[Money Shot]

I need to see the vid of Stiverne vs Arreola to make the call. Hard not to back Vitali tho.

[Cuban Linx]

This fight will end up being one of Vitali's easier fights he's ever had.

Stiverne is very slow. He's not going to be able to attack Vitali with that jab of his like he did with Arreola. Vitali has a significant reach and speed advantage. He's 41 but he's much faster than Stiverne.

[IIG]

Vitali Klitschko in an 8-4 kind of fight. Stiverne is disciplined, he can box well, has good power, and can take a shot. I'd give him a serious chance against any heavy not named Klitschko.
