Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Know Stiverne is Scared, Having Nightmares!

[Weltschmerz]

LOL.

Can you guys hold your horses. Look at Stiverne's credentials compared to Wilder's. This is not just some easy fight for Wilder. Stiverne is tough and durable, this will go more rounds probably. How does Wilder handle going more than 4 rounds? If he doesn't get Stiverne outta there immediately, Wilder finds himself in a new situation.

i think wilder takes it probably by ko this will be the fight that shows if wilder is the real deal or not. More then likely stivern will test wilders chin and will shell up well see it could be a very even match i just see wilder hitting stivern with jabs all night long and stivern not being able to get off but wilder has not fought anyone close to stivern so well see

True. but at the same time, he shouldn't hang with people just to get rounds.

Not about hanging with guys, it's about his management putting him in with guys who don't go out that easy. Every puncher that has ever lived has faced guys that barely flinch from their best shots, and Wilder is no exception, and more solid matchmaking would have put him in with guys who would go the distance with him which would answer questions about his chin, his legs, and his stamina and maybe that's why they matched him up the way they did, because they are protecting his vulnerabilities. Not having gone 4 rounds is a huge mistake on the part of his management team because he will be taken out to the deep waters and drowned like many fighters have that didn't have any rounds to build on. Stamina is not overnight, it takes many fights to get there. Because of his lack of even having gone 4 rounds, he will be gassed by the 8th round of a fight when his windmill doesn't work and he has nothing left in the tank. His legs will become weak and his glass chin will be shattered.

I agree with all this. it was a huge mistake. doesnt look like they have much confidence in there fighters stamina and or chin or they probably would have matched him better you would think

Maybe Deontay can pay him off to take a dive like Malik Scott did.

With so much money behind Wilder, and Don King handling Stiverne, ANYTHING is possible.
Somebody bought Wilder this title shot. It's not inconcievable that they might actually buy him the title too.

How did anyone buy Wilder a title shot. The man is an ex Olympian and if anything he could have received a title shot way before now but obviously because of his late age of starting in the sport he has been built to be ready for the best!!!

Anyone who thinks this is an easy match for Stiverne, doesn't know sh** about boxing

Wilder has never beaten a top 30 ranked heavy, let alone anybody in the top 10. He "earned" his title shot by ko'ing Malik Scott, who was ko'd by Dereck Chisora in his previous fight.
If ko'ing Malik Scott gets you a title shot, why didn't Chisora get one for doing it when Scott was still unbeaten? And why, at the very least, didn't Chisora get the final eliminator with Wilder, instead of the man he'd just ko'd?
You don't need to know sh** about boxing to be able to smell sh** when it's in front of your face. And that fight between Wilder and Scott, as a final eliminator for a world title, was a pile of steaming sh**.

People don't like Wilder but I'll tell you this, Arreola doesn't have any of the advantages that Wilder has and he was tagging Stiverne, who is a great boxer by the way. However, when you get tagged by Wilder, that is a totally different story. Be ready for pain and lots of it.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Exactly.. Wilder has more going for him in this fight than Stiverne. If he tries to fight like he did last time against a fat Arreola, than it will be a quick knock out for Wilder.

The hate is strong with Wilder and it mostly has to do with nationalism in this site. Wilder has done exactly what Tyson did 25 years ago and was considered the most dangerous man in the ring!!!

[RightJabLikeZab]

Doesn't really matter what Wilder does. People who think he was a bum before will call Stiverne trash if he knocks him out.
