Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder-Bermane Stiverne II: Post-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Devastating knockouts light a special fire in fight fandom. It doesn't really matter who they come against. Maybe the guy across the ring is a great opponent; maybe they showed up looking scared to death or disinterested. The memory remains. Decades later, the path of destruction Mike Tyson left behind him in the 1980s still fuels an almost fanatical devotion in some. They'd rather watch an hour of Tyson steamrolling the Donnie Long's of the world than watch the craft of a Leonard-Benitez.

It looks like you gave Wilder straight A's! I really hope the AJ fight gets made after one fight a piece. I think the flaws you mentioned (wide feet, wide punches, etc.) are things that will go away when he faces better opposition. I can see him sticking and moving with better footwork against the slower Joshua. As noted by the Showtime crew, he was throwing his jab with real snap and authority before he decided to throw a power punch. That snapping jab is going to be the difference when he fights AJ.

World Champions?

How can any of these "Champion" be called world champions when they only fight at home, in home areas and where their management can control the judges and referee.

Wilder shined in this fight while Joshua looked mortal against Takam.

Obviously the respective opponents had somerhing to do with that but this looks like a more even matchup now, on paper.

if stirverne gets a D then no one ever fails in the cliff lol'd world. that was the definition of failure from coming in as a beached whale to not landing any punches or trying to land any punches.
