      If Stiverne lasts 4 rounds he will check it and Wilders toothpick legs are not going to hold him up

        That's what I fear.

        In spite of that, the state of the HW division is so bad that I'm here, hoping for you to be wrong.

          Yes he has a glass chin. He's also so sloppy with his punches and telegraphs his right hand. Terrible balance also, he's always tripping over himself and over extending. He doesn't fight tall.

          He just fought 32 cab drivers and no hopers, even then a couple of them caught him.

          B Ware is head and shoulders above angone Wilder has faced.

            So if Wilder lays Stiverne out, does that mean that Stiverne has a glass jaw?

              No it means Wilder can punch. If Stiverne was packing glass Arreloa would have him out of there.

                His chin is exposed. It is about as glassy as a supers chin gets.

                Doesn't mean Stiverne is going to beat him definitely, but if Stiverne manages to land even a single well placed and timed hard punch.. It's over.

                  Nah....it can't work like that. Wilder has never been KO'd as a pro but it appears that Stiverne has. So if Wilder puts him to sleep, I'm blaming that glass chin that Stiverne has and if Stiverne can't put Wilder down, I'm going to attribute that to Wilder's iron chin.

                  I mean Stiverne does have a precedent set, right? It's happened before and if it happens again, then at dude needs to go see Hunter for some chin strengthening exercises or something.

                    I don't know how much I believe of that because people who receive all Wlad has to offer usually end up unconcious... but I guess we'll wait and see.

                    I know I find Stiverne's style exciting as hell to watch. He reminds me a lot of James Toney (minus the shoulder roll and philly shell defense). What worries me is his reach, or lack thereof. Dude has arms like Mat Fraser and that's going to be a problem if Wilder chooses to stay on the outside.

                    It's been a minute since I've been this excited about a HW fight.
                    He's Wilder's trainer, isn't he?

                    Here's what Wlad apparently had to say about it....

                    "It (the fight) is 50/50… I had him (Wilder) in camp, and he hits hard, but can't take it at all."

                      Come on mathed. That "ko" was a terrible stoppage.
                      If it was the same ref Sconiers would have a "tko" victory over Wilder considering Wilder was actually down.
