    Wilder only had what, 30 amateur fights? He has hardly been hit in the pros and didn't start until late.

    I know we like to assume you're either born with a great chin or not but it takes years and years to learn how to take a shot, how to take the sting out of a shot. Its like Seth Mitchell - He'd never been hit before. Fighters relatively new to boxing especially don't react well to getting hit.

    The guy isn't built to take a shot either and he is so amped up I think this is being overlooked. All that nervous energy, that adrenaline can seriously drain you. There is a chance here he could punch himself out maybe in a round or two if he fights on emotions.

      If it was the same ref Sconiers would have a "tko" victory over Wilder considering Wilder was actually down.
      Ya it really was one of the worst stoppages ever, I just rewatched it and confirmed what I recalled. King punched himself out and was basically throwing push-punches. He staggered bermane but he recovered quickly and wasn't hurt at all. I'd actually be shocked if wilder kos him tonight.

            Is this the same Wlad who got knocked out by Puritty, Sanders and Brewster?
            Wlad rarely gets hit at all and it's an anomaly to see him hit remotely flush but when he does, he folds up like a lawn chair. Seems like if Wilder somehow doesn't get KO'd tonight, tomorrow a lot of posters will be discrediting Stiverne somehow or focusing on Wilder's "sloppy windmills".

              Wilder's chin is a big question mark, no doubt.

              But Wladimir Klitschko commenting about other people's chin, really?.

                  Real question is will Stiverne even able to hit Wilder, who is huge and expected to use his reach and avoid an inside fight.

                      The "glass jaw" stigma shouldn't apply to heavyweights, almost every punch they throw carries enough force to end a fight instantly. Anyone who questions the chin of these giants should try taking a punch from an elite heavyweight boxer.
