Arreola would become the first heavyweight champion of Mexican descent so this is significant, only the second Latino heavyweight champion after John Ruiz.

Why? Mexico probably has some of the most neutral judges in the world.

Wtf... why is arreola getting home field advantage when he lost the first fight? I hope the Haitian beast is getting a decent payday for this

[The Hammer]

Why so long a wait?

I was hoping for this to be in April.

I don't see why a rematch is needed when Stiverne won convincingly and without controversy.
