What's the point of Arreola vs Steverne 2?

Its for a vacant trinket belt and supposedly the winner will get a shot at wilder or klitschko apparently.

So Wlad can finally fight a credible name soon

A better question is why didn't Stiverne get his title shot years ago? he fought in 2 title eliminators.

So Arreola beats Mitchell after the Stiverne loss and now he's up for a belt? Guess is lack of talented fighters in the division

That but foremost it is the just the shady politics of boxing.

Apparently it was a fluke that Stiverne broke his nose and Arreola is in shape this time.

Stiverne was lighting his fat ass up even before he broke his snout

I am fully expecting Stiverne to win even more impressively, maybe a stoppage. Stiverne isn't the type of fighter you want to give confidence to.

Haven't read much into it but Arreola got dominated in that fight. It wasn't even close. Is this because there is not much talent in the HW division? Arreola will get owned again

No way...Arreola was a slacker and he beat himself in all of his losses minus the Vitali one. He utterly destroyed Mitchell in less than 3 minutes in his last fight once he finally showed up in shape. He is pissed off and about 30 pounds lighter than he was last time out. I believe he will hurt Stiverne with crisp counter shots and stop him, proving the last fight was a fluke.

If Arreola was Cuban you wouldn't be saying any of that about him.

Stiverne was supposed to fight Vitali for the WBC title. But Vitali retired and vacated. So the #1 and #2 contenders have to fight for the vacated title.

I guess it just worked out that Arreola and Stiverne were the #1 and #2 contenders at the time.
