Comments Thread For: Team Stiverne Frustrated With Klitschko Postponements

[beez721]

Not even CLOSE! Stiverne is a counter-puncher who fights off the ropes. Vitali would hammer him with the jab, right hand and be out of reach for Stivern's counter punches. BAD style matchup for Stivern who would lose every round to a decision or get stopped late.

dunno anymore tho. vitali looked very slow and old in his last couple fights. stiverne may catch him at the right time

Stiverne is like a smaller Shannon Briggs, he has allot of power and took some really big punches from Arreola. Vitali is getting long in the tooth, it just might be time to call it a career.

Pretty much feel the same as most of the other posters here....and I'm a Klitschko fan. Vitali, fight or retire for good. I've wanted him to go out with a signature win, preferably against Haye (but Stiverne would've done), looks like it's not ever going to happen.

Stiverne will be a tall order for Vitali at this point. He may have got outboxed by Austin for a while, but Stiverne looked like a whole new fighter against Arreola. That jab was excellent, he stuck to his gameplan, and he had power. He made a fan out of me that night, for sure.

I am hearing rumors on this forum that Vitali has an injury, which could be a reason for the postponement.

Anyone who saw the Arreola fight knows Stiverne is a guy capable of ending the Klitchko era on a sour note.

Anyone who saw the fight should know quite the opposite but VK should hang them up if his body is falling apart.

because arreola sucks?

Vitali should retire or fight. It's unfair to the contenders who are waiting for their chance.

I agree, he either needs to fight or retire. He hasnt fought in 11 months and wont fight in about 15 months if he does fight stiverne

If this fight goes down this dude would quickly find out that Vitali is not Arreola. Stiverne has a nice jab but he's going to get smacked with overhand rights if he wants to jab with Vitali.

Stiverne is only effective when a fighter comes straight in and leaves himself open to counters and a slower Vitali is still not a good matchup for Stiverne who would never get the opportunities to counter. He needs someone who stands right in front of him to be able to land his shots. Arreola was made to order.

Not as much as Austin!
