Larry Holmes: I KNEW Stiverne Was Dehydrated In Wilder Fight, Watching From Ringside

This is from a few years ago, fresh after the Wilder vs Stiverne fight. As many know, Stiverne has claimed that he was severely dehydrated throughout the fight which severely effected his ability to perform.. The legendary Larry Holmes who was at ringside that night seems to validate his story here: Larry Holmes : "One of the things that I noticed straight off the bat. I tried to talk to them. I'm a Don King fighter so I tried to talk to him to help the fighter (Stiverne) win the fight... When you go to talk to him and he pays you no mind then you walk away from it and you're not getting my knowledge. In between the rounds I did get his attention and told him to put water on his head to cool him down because he was dehydrated. I could see that in between rounds. Believe me if you're not throwing back the guy going to feel comfortable throwing punches at you because he knows nothings coming back! People don't want to listen to a guy like me, I been in the game for 38 years! Heavyweight champion for 7 and a half years! A guy that's fought them all and they didn't want to listen to me so I didn't give them my knowledge because they weren't worthy for me to give it because they weren't listening. But I did get a note to Don King to tell them to put water on his head to try to cool him off . When they eventually listened to me, guess what they did? They put water on his head, then they put a towel on his head to keep the heat in!"
