    vitali might have prob with those body punches. but vitali is smart. if he chooses to fight he'll be ready and have a right game plan.
    this would be a decent farewell fight.

      I think Vitali's movement and speed will be too much for a slow fighter like Stiverne. Vitali uses weird angles to punch, much unlike his brother, and I feel those punches are the ones that can confuse a fighter like Stiverne. Arreola had the predictable punches for most of the fight and so Stiverne managed to adjust easily after rd2. With Vitali, he'll get lost if he's not prepared

        Got to give credit to stiverne! I knew going in that he had a real good chance to win this, but i didnt think he would do it in this fashion! Hes really heavyhanded with a solid chin on him! Also congratulation to chris arreola for hanging in there! Based on his heart hes already world champion!
        That knockdown and those bodypunches he took would have put a lot of fighters to sleep IMO

          What happened to Fury facing the winner?

          Or is that only if Vitali retires?

            Vitali will win wide, or by stoppage.

            Stiverne looked alright the other night, but seing as I think Arreola is useless, it's not saying much. Even at age 42, Vitali is still on another level to the likes of Stiverne.

              Only if Vitali retires.

              Vitali probably won't retire now, he'll likely fight Stiverne.

              Fury-Pulev is in the works for July, according to Peter Fury.

                only logical to pick Vit by UD
                he's slowing down, guys have gone 12 with him he shoulda KO'd
                Stiverne beat Arreola clearly, but that doesn't mean much
                unless Vit has fallen off completely since Charr, he's got this easy

                      I like Stiverne, but even though Vitali is much older, he still holds a wealth of experience and natural size gifts over Bermane to keep him from being a serious threat to beat him.

                      Bermane will be a top wildcard when the K bros retire. For now though, I will say he has enough natural talent to last, but lose a decision in the 8-4, 9-3 range.
