Like I said, Berto cannot do it alone, helping Haitians but a heavyweight champ from Haiti has a HUGE amount of political power and I hope he uses it to help his people because there are so many ways he can generate interest, money, and political power back there to make a difference.

The ref should have stopped the fight after the second knockdown. And I personally hope its the last we see of that foul mouthed fat pig. I hope Chris retires and I also hope he takes Teddy Atlas with him. As for Stiverne, he seems like a decent enough guy. But if Chris could tag him with his jab I imagine Wlad will destroy him with his.Comment

Haymon's team still believes in him. Those clingy cheerleaders with beards have bracelets that provide unlimited access to all their hype trains. Wilder is hoping he doesn't have to face stiffer competition before winning the Klltschko sweepstakes.Comment

What fight was Teddy Atlas watching?
Teddy kept suggesting that Stiverne hurting Arreola in the first round was a curse, apparently never considering that Stiverne, who never really stopped jabbing and was clearly looking for opportunities to counter, was being patient.
Teddy kept praising Arreola's increased work rate, not pointing out that most of Arreola's work was ineffective and not noticing (until the very end) that Arreola, despite his supposedly better camp for this fight, was less than half way through the fight looking more tired than a marathon runner on the 25th mile.
Arreola makes too many basic mistakes and even with his best training efforts simply isn't capable of getting into the condition required to compete with the division's best. I'm surprised so many favored him. I'm looking forward to Stiverne-Wilder.
Clearly Arreola was "meant" to win this. Stiverne just wasn't in on it.
Stiverne seemed to hurt Chris with every solid shot landed, including a lot of good body shots. Arreola barely threw a body shot.Comment

Atlas picks the fighter that he thinks is suppose to win. I really believe he lets that dictate how he scores a fight. Case in point the first fight. I had the young kid from NY dominating the fight with his jab and movement. Teddy gave the first three rounds to the Cuban while I gave one round to him in the entire fight and it wasn't one the first three. So, I believe while Teddy is talking about janitors key rings and looking for what key fits what door and spouting off about substitute teachers he forgets to watch the fight. I believe he than just scores the round for who he thinks should be winning. And I am one of those fans that even sits and watches Friday Night Fights on ESPN and he does it all the time. With that said, I believe he is way to biased to be a objective commentator.Last edited by Ravens Fan; 05-10-2014, 10:04 PM.Comment
