I am not surprised. I was excited about the fight and expected a real grudge match war. They both promised to go for the kill and bring pain and I believed them. The fight was pretty tame. Stiverne didn't go after him very hard and Wilder was content to safely box his way to a points win and never tried very hard to close the show. The first quality fighter Wilder has fought and the 100% KO streak came to a screaking halt. Where was his BOMB SGUAD? He is clearly better than Bermaine but is he better than the loud mouthed Fury? Let's find out which of these braggers can back up their big talk. The winner would probably get Wlad who I think would KO either of them in a few rounds as usual.
Stiverne has one hell of a chin man, you could hear those thudding shots cracking him when they landed. His face was all swollen up at the end of the fight but he is just one of those guys who can take massive punishment and keep on trucking.
If boxing was treated like German TV does in America the ballgame would change big time for the better. Germans show Klitschko/Leapai on free RTL and that got 9 million viewers in Germany. But we've got this signed like a month before it happens and on a pay channel and I doubt the real numbers will come out anything on that anyway. It's not a good system.
If it was on HBO they would have done 1.5 or more. They just have more subscribers .
HBO BE CREATING IT
SHOWTIME KEEP ON FAKING IT
WHILE AL HAYMON KEEP ON TAKING IT
