Exclusive interview with Bermane Stiverne following the Wilder loss. While he seems in good spirits he says that he was hit with an illegal shot behind the head just prior to the first combo which dropped him. He's likely referring to a shot which occurs at approximately 56 seconds remaining in the first round. It's this discombobulating shot which he never had time to recover from.

Shouldn't have got the fight in the first place, turned up horrendously out of shape and not willing to throw a punch, and got KTFO accordingly.
Shut the **** up and get in the gym. No more freebie title shots for you.Comment

Stiverne was the same weight as Anthony Joshua was for his last fight too - a single number doesn't tell the story of composition.
Don't try and BoxRec your way through conversations buddy.Comment

It does appear he may have been hit behind the head. Watching live, when he complained to the ref, it seemed ridiculous. But watching back, he may have a valid gripe.
However, it's part of the game and nothing can be done about it now. If Stiverne ever wants to be relevant again, he needs to get a few wins and hope he can luck into an eliminator in a year or two (which he'd likely lose).Comment
