Comments Thread For: Stiverne: I Apologize To Fans - That Was An Imposter With Wilder!

[yoshik]

Imposter? The problem is most heavyweights are fat, lethargic out of shape posers. Even Baby Face Miller could be better, quicker and hit harder without the layers of fat. While I loathe Wilder as a boxer he's one bad ass HW at 218. Zero fat.

He's right about one thing, his mind and body were definitely detached as evidenced by that photo with him sleeping on the ropes.

Stiverne be like :"it wasnt me it was some other fatass beached whale in a sacrificial position"

If Stiverne has anything left in the tank and can still pull the trigger, he has a puncher's chance. Because Joyce has slow hands and is very easy to hit, he will have opportunities to catch him with big shots and maybe hurt him. That's how he dropped and stopped Arreola. I don't see him winning a decision at all at this stage of his career. If I were him, I would save my energy as much as possible and only look for counterpunching opportunities - Joyce gives his opponents plenty.

Joyce is not a puncher for me, he hurts guys thanks to a high workrate and because he's a big dude so his punches have a lot of weight behind them. Stiverne should have five or six rounds to make something happen.

Even if Stiverne is in shape he can’t afford to lose to Joyce. If he can’t beat Joyce he should hang em’ up! The Stiverne that beat Arreola would have destroyed a 7-0 novice like Joyce. At 40 I doubt he can turn the clock back. His chin has been gone for a few years. Joyce will try to overwhelm him like Wilder. One thing to look out for is Stiverne’s counterpunching. That was always his best asset. He has KO power & if Joyce gets a little too aggressive he might be able to catch him with a big right. I hope he lands a big one early because I want to see Joyce’s chin checked.

There 7-0 novices and 7-0 novices and Joe Joyce has a good amateur background behind him. The numbers don’t matter so much as the quality you’ve faced and Joyce has tried to move as fast as he can.

The other thing is that Arreola sucks major ass. I wouldn’t put much store by beating Arreola at all.

That was your slow fat ass.

Glad to hear he has finally woken up from that punch

This is the guy who claimed he was ready for the Wilder rematch and said this: 'I don't fear for your life, because I'm going to kill you. If that's what it takes for me to take that title, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to walk away with a smile on my face.

'Boy, you don't even know: You caught me slipping last time. I'm going to be on your (rear end). I'm going to be on your (rear end), boy.'

Stervern ate them punches and acted like he was in outer space but it also seemed that he was never hit.

You said that wasn't the real you in the first fight as you were going into the rematch, Bermane.

Dude has more body doubles than Saddam Hussein.
