Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Decisions Stiverne, Captures WBC Gold

[hitking]

Wilder is a legitimate heavyweight contender.

Danm stiverne looked nervous af when he got in the ring. Lol **** it the better man won. Wilder shut me up. The 2nd half got boring though

[periks19]

Watch the povetkin fight again and tell me that looked anything alike lol. The first half was exciting but wilder hasn't even gone past 4 rounds before. No shlt he was gonna get tired.

Then it wasnt't impressive right? it was a good performance though two totally different things

[Kingjames6Flee]

wilder could've gotten him out of there but was cautious of that counter hook. he didn't sit on any of shots really.

[thack]

Even when Wilder floored him as they fell! I still thought S. would close him down and land ...didn't happen ...some times the good guys win ..I do hope his most beautiful little daughter has the biggest smile on her face, she should , BOMB SQUAD !!

Are you kidding me, people b*tch about Wlad because he gropes more than a middle-aged man on a Japanese train. His hate has nothing to do with jabbing and boxing, it's about his cheating.

Wow so floyd cheated maidana on his last fight by holding and running for mostly half of the fight?

[Dachozen1]

I don't see anybody beating him who isn't Wladimir. He gained a ton of experience in this fight alone and will be knocking fools out.

This is boxing at its best. What's better than a promising young fighter proving himself and doing it in an unexpected way?

Congratulations to Wilder for a great performance. I'm looking forward to seeing him develop from here. I never doubted his athleticism and power but tonight he showed a lot of skill, smarts and poise that none of his previous fights had given him the opportunity to demonstrate.

Wilder has more charisma in his pinky finger than Klitschko, so I think he could do a lot for the division and the sport if he continues to realize his potential.

i didn't see wilder hold once. he's still 187 clinches behind klitschko's record. maybe next time?

God tell me about it. He didnt even clinch a little bit.

1. As much as Floyd held in that fight, it still didn't compare to Wlad.

2. Yeah, Maidana kind of got screwed by Bayless in that fight.

Wlad literally has no defense up close except holding. What he does is supposed to be against the rules. He gets away with it because no ref is calling him out on his bull****, and he knows it. He hold completely excessively, and no one besides Miguel Vazquez can even compare. Not Hopkins, not Ward, no one holds like Wlad does.

You're trying to call out hypocrisy and completely missing why Wlad gets hated. Wilder didn't clinch. He stayed inside and fought at times. Wlad literally runs across the ring and lunges into clinches to avoid a punch being thrown.
