Comments Thread For: Stiverne's Manager: Wladimir Klitschko is an Easy Fight!

[Weltschmerz]

Make it happen, I like this fight.

I think Wlad takes it but Stiverne offers a different look to just about all of Wlads previous opposition.

In what way?

[just the facts]

While Stiverne has fight changing power, can he take the jabs and right hands long enough to land the big punch? Nobody has done it in years, and I don't think Stiverne will either

In what way?

He has his hands down so he can get KO'ed quicker.

[LacedUp]

Stiverne is one tough SOAB. He would likely lose a wide UD

Stiverne was KO'd by demetrius king 11-15.

Other than Arreola, who's not great himself, Stiverne hasn't faced anyone legit.

If Wlad just came to fight, he'd splatten Stiverne in 3 rounds.

Stiverne likes to sit in the pocket and wait for his opening. He was rocked a few times by Arreola doing this. Against an inferior opponent, this isnt a bad strategy but he would be cannon fodder doing this against Wlad. Stiverne would have to use his movement and a wicked body attack to have a chance. That said, I think Wlad is too big and too rangy for Stiverne. One thing for sure, though, Bermane will make it a fight.

How on earth can Stiverne's manager view Wlad as an easy fight? It boggles the mind. There's one thing to hype your fighter but then there is foolishness.

[Boxing Goat]

It is an easy fight............


For Wladimir.

If Stiverne thinks hes going to go to the ropes, cover up and take Wlads punches, hes in for a rude awakening.

In what way?

There is a misconception that Wladimir has a glass jaw, its not granite but its a lot better than he gets credit for and people play on this because hes an honest guy who admits he doesn't like getting hit. Povetkin, Haye, Wach etc etc etc, every opponent makes the mistake of head hunting. Not one from recent memory has gone to the body or tried setting anything up. They have simply looked to land a big right hand over the top. Wach, Haye, Povetkin, Leapai the list goes on.

They come in with a gameplan & end up frustrated by his jab, being tied up & then they just hope on landing that one big shot.

Stiverne is a very patient and intelligent fighter that goes to the body very well. He throws in combinations and has exceptional timing.
He has handspeed, K.O power in both hands, great timing. Wladimir needs to be at his best, Stiverne is dangerous for any HW out there and he is getting better & more confident.

I really believe this guy is underrated & I have no doubt he beats Fury, Wilder & all those pretenders by stoppage

You clearly didn't watch the fight...

[Derranged]

If Stiverne's plan is to just to sit back and wait for one big shot like he did against Arreola, he can forget it.

But because of Wladimir's iffy chin and more importantly, his age, I think Stiverne could win this if he's aggressive enough.
