Comments Thread For: Stiverne: It Will Be a Short, Painful Night For Wilder!

[_original_]

I think Wilder can take out the stationary Stivenre early in the fight, if not than it'll be a long night for Wilder.

I think he is right, Wilder is the equivalent of a big strong guy on the street. He has no boxing craft whatsoever and has been manufactured very carefully but is now in with a very live opponent who can also punch and will ko him easily.

Ill match you all your e-points wilder gets the ko??

If you are good enough it sometimes dont matter if you havent fought and beat anyone of note, it doesnt mean its a barrier to being a champ.

Look at that cuban who beat Donaire for example. WIlders has had a lot of fights which is good but hasnt fought anyone, or you can have not had many fights and fought many good people, Wilder is obviously the former.

If Stiverne lets WIlder hit him, he will feel pain as well, but the champs are normally sterner and hardier and can take a punch to give their own.

Only a couple of UK bookies have odds up but they're both making Wilder odds-on. Might stick a few quid on Stiverne.

This is 50/50 for me. The only certainty is that it doesn't go anywhere near 12. It'll be great entertainment.

This fight is far from a 50/50. It is incredible that the bookies have Wilder a favourite. I currently have £80 on Stiverne to win @ 11/8 with paddypower. When odds come out for a Stiverne stoppage I'll be putting £100s on it.

Wilder is getting blown away within 4 rounds.

Whoever wins we'll see a great fight.

These two are the future of the heavyweight division, it's as simple as that.

This is going to be a tough fight for both guys, Stiverne's experience against Wilder's size and power. If DW can settle behind a jab and use his power shots sparingly till the later rounds, I can see him winning but he has to fight tall to do that. STiverne on the other hand has to get on the inside and really let his hands go, being this small is a massive disadvantage for him.

Wilder has the reach.. as soon as Stiverne goes back to the ropes he's going to be toast.

A powerful big man always beats a powerful stocky little man. This is not about experience.. Stiverne isn't that experienced himself.

It's about styles & size.. as soon as Wilder lands Stiverne will be out of there. Wilder can land from the outside.. Stiverne has to get in close.. Wilder Ko1 Stiverne in spectacular fashion setting up the Klitschko unification for all the marbles.

Probably a little off base with the KO 1rd, but I see very much the same thing. Wilder does get his bombs off with max extension, and I wonder how Stiverne will deal with that painful approach. Stiverne is the counterpuncher but can he get close enough? Your right though, all about style and size.

Stiverne Ices Wilder. He knows hes hype. Wilder and Klitscho have sparred and Vlad smoked him. Wilder Gets Exposed. Stiverne has the "haymon clause" where if he wins he signs with Haymon. Hell fight vlad after a tune up

There is really nothing to be said about this fight, either Wilder is going to have another KO and prove he got the stones, or Stiverne is going to prove he is a fraud. I'm going with Wilder.

[The Gambler1981]

I would say chances are very high of the fight ending early one way or the other.

A long fight may benefit Stiverne but it may not depending on how Wilder's power effects him, and if he can't get Wilder out of there that means he is probably having issues with the range issue presented by Wilder while not being an aggressive guy by nature that would want to get inside that power.

Still I don't think it comes to that one guy is going down and probably not getting up.
