I think Povetkin edges Stiverne in a close fight. Late stoppage or a UD. It's a good match up too. Povetkin is always aggressive, Stiverne will look for big counters. Povetkin has a good chin, also. Could be a real war!
Stiverne by decision. Povetkin would bring it early like Arreola but Stiverne would eventually drop him and take over from there. Would be a hell of a fight.
No way this fight happens, which is a shame cos it would be a hell of a fight. I just don't see the WBC allowing it...
Really a 50-50 fight...maybe 55-45 or 60-40 to Povetkin if he is in perfect shape...I think he would win because he is the more active guy with better combinations and skills, but Stiverne has perhaps a bit more power, a bit better chin, and is a better counter puncher.
I think either Povetkin wins a decision or Stiverne stops him.
