Bermane Stiverne vs. Deontay Wilder

[Greed.]

People seem to ignore the fact that Stiverne beat some decent tall men in the amateurs in Price and Helenius. Watching the Price fight, Stiverne was timing the counter right very well. Wilder is technically poor and wild and I think he'll get clipped with a big counter right and go down.

I haven't been this excited about a HW fight since Wlad vs Haye.

The only thing we can be absolutely 100% sure about....This fight won't go the distance. Somebody is going to get knocked the fluck out.

This fight will be over inside 4 rounds. I've been waiting for somebody to test Wilder's chin. Stiverne can **** and I'm not sure he'll pass that test.

[SN!PER]

Wilder has done a lot of boasting while Stiverne has mostly kept his mouth shut.

I believe Wilder can win this... but Pacquiao's chilling words loom in the back of my mind too....

"And one thing I can say to both of us and all the fighters, those who humble themselves will be exalted, and those who exalt themselves will be humbled."

Hopefully Pacquiao's warning does not become a prophecy tonight and Wilder overcomes the odds and passes this test for the good of boxing.

Stiverne talked his fair share of shit on All Access and at the final press conference.

Van wilder is going to knockout stiverne

So the referee will jump in and stop it only because Wilder throws a punch? Yeah okay.

I didn't say that, but feel free to twist my words. I stand by my prediction: Wilder by controversial stoppage; Stiverne sits on the ropes and waits to counter, inviting Wilder to 'windmill' his punches. The refere jumps in, a la Stiverne's previous loss, to stop the fight.

Maybe you should look into the background of the fighters before posting.

Sorry if it was asked before, but what time is the main fight UK time?

[-MEGA-]

I think Wilder keeps Stiverne at range and takes him out early. Bomb squad baby!


Prepping the ribs now. Gonna have ribs, Mac n cheese, cornbread, baked beans, salad and alcohol.

I read an article that said Wilder is a "great athlete." The writer said you may as well say he is a great "tattoo artist." Then I thought he is right on spot with that comment. I mean Mark Gastineau was a great athlete, but not even journey man material in boxing.

There's no twisting and you just said it again so nice try. The can't stop it unless Stiverne is hurt by the punches which you failed twice to include with your statements.

Stopping it because Wilder is simply throwing punches would be ridiculous.

Maybe you're upset because Wilder put Audley Harrison on his ass with those " windmills."

This is not comparable to the Stiverne loss eight years ago. Maybe you should look at the difference in magnitude before posting about it.


When your prediction fails miserably I'll make sure to save this and remind you.
