I think he said he felt it broke during the 4th round. He also damaged his own eye by hitting himself with a rubber band during one of his leg stretches the night before the fight. Apparently it was so bad he couldn't see clearly from the damaged eye, he claimed it was all "cloudy". He says all of this in the press conference after the fight.. It's rolling around on YouTube.Comment

Stiverne complaining after the fight over some non-specific "I just wasn't able to fight the way I wanted for some reason" and goes to hospital for two nights for "dehydration," making him the first heavyweight ever to get dehydrated.
Wilder fights through broken hand and vision problems with no complaint.
It proves the old adage:
Winners adjust, losers make excuses.Comment
