      ahh It's tough to say because Wilder has BIG power. But that looked really su****ious. I'm not sure it was a dive, maybe more so of Scott just saying "**** it". His career is likely over.

        I watched Buncey and his guests talking straight after the "fight". First they were saying it was the right hand, but after coming back from the break they said it was the left hand. One of the guests said he knew the left-hook was a legitimate fight-stopper because everyone in the studio went "oooh" and "aaahh" when it landed. But if this was true, why did they initially think it was the right-hand that did it?

          His head didn't snap back, not even an inch, from the right punch. No way that should've knocked him out.

            Scott is a joke. Its laughable that people rated him. Shame Wilder didn't get a chance to land something big on him. Hopefully he'll disappear from the HW scene

              Exactly.

              That said, Bunce and Lillis are morons.

                The problem is, people haven't seen this kind of power in a long time, so it is unbelievable what they are seeing. I don't think they are haters, not all of them, they just don't understand HW boxing.

                  These were my impressions too. At one point when Scott was down, he had a look around and the expression on his face was not that of a hurt man.

                  There was a shifty feel about the whole fight if you ask me.

                    Stiverne will beat Arreola in the rematch, then bring on Wilder-Stiverne. That would be a very interesting fight, but I slightly lean towards Stiverne because of the skills he brings to the table.

                      I know Wilder has power, but that just didn't appear to be legit.

                      But he sort of fell after he started pushing off the canvas again. I don't think it was the punch. I think he either hurt his leg and that's what finished it, or he just decided to stay down not wanting to take any more big shots.
                      His eyes were clear, they were focused on Wilder as he went down, almost as tho as to say "too obvious?". No but seriously, he was not hurt 1 bit, then the pathetic attempt at pretending he couldnt get up?
