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

[kafkod]

Wilder's resume is very poor for a mandatory challenger. Leapai was not good either but at least he beat one ranked guy in an eliminator. Malik Scott was not a serious contender or ranked but he is Wilder's best "win".

Correct. Leapai became the WBO mandatory when he beat Boystov, who was the WBO no1 till then. Leapai vs Boytsov was NOT a WBO final eliminator. It was supposed to be just a warm up fight for Boytsov.

A final eliminator is supposed to be a "fight for the right" between the two best contenders. Malik Scott had just been ko'd by Chisora, so what the f**k was he doing in a final eliminator for the title?
Wilder vs Scott was a bullsh** fight right from the start, set up for no other purpose than to give Wilder his title shot.

This is the heavyweights and Stiverne can certainly ****, Wilder's chin is suspect so I am very confident that Stiverne could pull off a 1 punch KO.

That said, he eats punches against the ropes so that he can counter, I can't see him trying that against Wilder because that would be a deathwish but if he does, burying his face in his gloves won't work- Wilder knocked Scott out through the other side of his gloves!

Wilder has yet to knockout a guy who is renowned for having a good chin.

Edit - Zelenoff doesn't count, you don't hit your opponent whilst he is on the ground.
