Comments Thread For: Arreola-Stiverne Rematch Heads To Mexico in June

[Weltschmerz]

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

No reason for this fight to happen.....just another beating for Arreola.

Stiverne and Arreola are the two top ranked with the WBC.

And I agree with what people say that Don King, Mexico, etc. sounds very murky here. Also sucks that the fight is only in June. These fights just take too long to come into fruition, too many damn politics involved.

Stiverne will not be able to hold this title long because hes almost 36 already. He will be paperchamp for a short time but im sure he will be proud about it. I wonder if Stiverne vs. Klitschko will happen or some other guy might stop him before?

I think it might happen this or next year. Wlad will want to add the final belt to his collection and become the first linear heavyweight champion since Lennox.

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

You have to realize that it can come down to Siverne getting more money, site availability, marketing, etc. A lot of influences and the judges are more neutral in Mexico than in other places.
