What day is rios/alvarado 3???

[Scipio2009]

This is great news--but 1 month away ???

why are all the other fights a 4-6 month wait ??

i think they had this booked a while ago

Almost 40 days (~6 weeks), but it's not like the talks just started; they've been working on this fight since before September, so there kinda was the long wait.

Once the talks really started to pick up, I'd imagine both guys were sent into training, with the camps started once things got down to crossing and dotting.

Hopefully Wilder pulls it off.

Stiverne is likely to knock this Wilder out sadly.

[SHO_RULEZ]

Both of these guys need just ONE punch . I'm going with the taller, longer man, Wilder. But if he makes one bad mistake, goodnight.

[F!x]

Stiverne has much better technical skill than Wilder. I think he stops him in 9 rounds.

[Bushidō]

"Great" Heavyweight fight in todays era. We'll find out about wilder. IMO Joshua is the best prospect in a long time though not Wilder

[boliodogs]

Great. That should answer most questions about Wilder.

SHO just announced the fight on the broadcast tonight. Kenney's interviewing Wilder and Stiverne on air

[Eastcoast]

Hope Wilder wins (doubt it), then he has to fight Jennings. See if Haymon would allow it.
