Comments Thread For: Stiverne: Wilder's Run Embarrassing, Povetkin Ends Him

[BoxngLove]

I don't think that Wilder has done enough to warrant 1/4 of the hate that people have for him. The same hater who will be watching each and every one of his performance. Wilder is actually a really good boxer, who is just marketed as a KO finisher. People need to understand, there is no depth at heavyweight, so we are in for a long wait for Wilder's step up. No reason to put him in with Klit, yet, and Povetkin will be a great test. Patience boxing fans...

Stiverne was beat half to death by Wilder. He should just keep his mouth shut and admit Wilder's the better man..

"His list of opponents, including fighters like me, is pathetic!"

Stiverne still sounds a little salty

Let me see if I understand your point. Wilder's team decides that because the HW division as a whole is at a B level its better that Wilder fights at a D level? Honestly that is about as lame as an excuse as it can get.

So was stivern's run....he was on the C side of the heavyweight championship....can't best the klitsko brothers....so you were never really champion..

Stiverne sounds really bitter

Stiverne didn't give himself the best chance of winning by coming in dehydrated. And yes, he WAS dehydrated, as crazy as that sounds for a HW. And yes, Pac DID have a torn rotator cuff muscle and should've postponed the fight. Point being A.) Stiverne being dehydrated is insane. You're a HW. Drink enough fluids when you train, and even when you don't train. It's a fairly simple concept. B.) Don King? Really? Wow, that isn't the brightest choice for promoters... unless you only wanna fight once a year.

I've heard Golden Boy insisted Wilder be matched light for the first 20 fights... but then I guess someone didn't get the memo when it went past 30. I get the guy wants a couple homecoming fights. Good for him, make some serious money. Just no excuses when you're forced to step up and you get annihilated by either Povetkin or Wlad... or both. The way Wilder got stage fright and forgot even boxing 101 vs Molina was embarrassing. He has to have an extremely fragile ego to put in that type performance. That was going backwards, not advancing like he should. Sorry, I have zero confidence he gets past Povetkin, let alone Wlad.

Wilder

If the Bronze Bambi dodges Povetkin and the WBC let's him.
It is bloody set up.Boxing fans world wide should complain.
WBC have made it too easy for Wilder.He does not deserve a unification
fight with Klitschko until he fought Povetkin.Wilder keeps on fighting
all these easy fights.Stiverne never got any voluntary fights.
I smell a rat.Povetkin deserves his shot.
