RingTV.com has a live, round-by-round update on this page for Saturday night's heavyweight rematch in Los Angeles during which Bermane Stiverne scored two final round knockdowns on the way to a sixth-round technical knockout over Chris Arreola for the WBC's belt that was vacated by Vitali Klitschko.

After the second knockdown, Arreola was being hammered when referee Jack Reiss stepped in and waved an end to the fight at the 2:02 mark.

In the first fight, last April, Arreola suffered a broken nose and was dropped in the third round of a unanimous-decision loss to Stiverne.

The 35-year-old Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 knockouts) is 12-0-1 with nine stoppages since being knocked out in the fourth round by Demetrice King in July 2007.

Stiverne became the first heavyweight champion of Haitian descent, and the 33-year-old Arreola (36-4, 31 KOs) failed to become the first of Mexican descent, having rebounded from the loss to Stiverne with a first-round knockout of the highly touted Seth Mitchell in September.

The ESPN broadcast began at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
