Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder vs. Bermane Stiverne Rematch Ordered By WBC

[simms601]

So Wilder was crying about not giving Luis Ortiz a fight because he got popped for PED's but will now give a rematch to Bermane Stiverne who recently tested positive for PED's???

I swear Boxing is a crazy sport. If only every boxer used VADA in order to be 100% clean we wouldn't have another excuse for a boxer to fight another

First off, it didn't say anything About Wilder giving Stiverne anything. The WBC ordered the fight, not Wilder. Second, it clearly stated that wilder's team would likely ask for a postponement because he's trying to do a unification fight with Anthony. Reading and comprehension is fundamental...

Lol @ don king

Not only Wilder´s handlers but also the WBC protects Wilder from Ortiz.To make Stiverne a mandatory is a strange decision.He hasnt fought the past 15 months and didnt even beat a ranked opponent in his last fight.

People so crazy... Povetkin and Stiverne were fighting for the WBC #1 ranking...

Povetkin test dirty, forfeiting the fight somewhat..

So Stiverne gets the WBC title shot.... What's so hard to understand about that??

[4truth]

Stiverne tested dirty also

...What is even harder to understand is how Stiverne qualified to fight Povetkin for the title shot in the first place.

1.) Stiverne was not dirty, they traced the chemical that caused the dirty result to an energy drink he consumed. He was not trying to enhanced, you would have the same dirty test drinking a monster energy drink.

We Be Crooked.

They had no issues making a fight between Povetkin and Stiverne for that #1 spot. Now that Ortiz is the #2 guy, they aren't even considering making a Stiverne-Ortiz fight?

Corleone is right...WBC = We Be Crooked

[original zero]

Stiverne is all that Don King has left. Don King knows where the bodies are buried. Of course he's going to cash in whatever favors he has left with the WBC to get Stiverne another shot.

But, in the WBC's defense, we just saw a judge award Wilder his entire purse over the canceled Povetkin fight.

If Don King is threatening lawsuit over Stiverne not getting a title shot, do you really want to risk going to court?

[Gentblue]

Has anyone ever thought that many people don't want to fight Wilder because he's high risk low reward???

Remember....
Povetkin- tried to cheat
Tyson- fought Klitz instead
Hughie- fighting Parker instead
Ortiz- Wilders team said no to a former PED cheat on a months notice..
Joshua- has shown interest but is fighting Wlad

Now the whole 38 nobodies( which not all of them are)....that's a valid criticism but when wilder has called who has knocked?
