Dan Rafael reporting Stiverne/Wilder set for Jan 17 in Vegas

[Szef]

I'm willing to put 200 T on Stiverne, if anyone's interested

Why would it be a super fight? Who has Wilder fought?

He has charisma and an image of a destroyer. If you watch Wilder in interviews he comes across as a budding comedian and I don't think he is really trying that hard. Ali and Bowe had this too. Tyson Fury tries this but comes off as he is trying too hard or is too mean spirited.

If true, hell yeah. Fancy Stiverne to take it but it's an intriguing fight...Wilder might be proven to be a bum or he might take out Stiverne just as quick and what will American fans say then? Will Stiverne go from "no 2 heavyweight with skills" to a bum if he gets KOd by Wilder?

In a way you want Wilder to be legit just so you can make a big HW unification with big interest from the States, I think there would clearly be less so if Bermane was to win and challenge Wlad.

I completely agree with everything. I'm sure some will call Stiverne a bum if he gets blown away, but a lot of us know a great puncher with reach can often neutralize better skills in another fighter. Wilder has nothing to lose. I think most experts don't rate him very high. They question his chin and his skills. The only thing not questioned is his power. It would be great to see him KO Klitschko, but I have a feeling Wilders chin isn't that good and Klitschko will get to it.

AT LAST! Damn... so many rumors and reports that the fight was set yet nothing on BoxRec... until today! This is it right here, this is the real deal. Time to put that oversized Ewok to sleep. WAR WILDER!!!!!!!

You take boxing too personal when you start judging fighters on their personalities. Just watch them fight.

Time to see if Wilder is the real deal.

I'm down to take that bet.

[UTEP]

Boxing gets a shot in the arm if Wilder wins. I haven't been this excited for a Heavyweight fight in a long time.

WAR BRONZE BOMBER!

[Chrismart]

Good stuff :ROCK:

I think Stiverne stops Wilder early.

Prepare for Stiverne to hurt his shoulder 2 weeks out from the fight.
