After the fight he blamed it on overtraining, said he'd been training since August ... which I thought was odd since the fight was postponed due to his hand injury. Regardless, it's a cover-your-a$$ excuse for him. He was taken to the hospital after the fight and has stayed two nights. That's obviously due to the beatdown he took. Rehydrating takes at most a couple of hours ... they hook you up to an IV, pump in fluids and you go.
If he's dehydrated, he should be losing 5 pounds at least if that's the case like what happen to de la hoya as an example. Look I don't buy the dehydrated bs excuse. As the other guy mention, being dehydrated, it doesn't take 2 days to stay in the hospital. Anybody with a brain knows this is a bad excuse to discredit wilder and make stiverne look like he was at the 10 percent.
I knew just knew that before this fight, if stiverne lose? he'll make an excuse that ppl will fall for it and good lord I was right.
Don King is the master of excuses. He said the McCall was using a confusion strategy in the Lewis rematch by not punching back and should not have been stopped. That's how dumb Don King thinks boxing fans are.
^^^Guess what? Most fans believe it and still do to this day. Im tired of these bs excuses which dumb fans believe it.
I mean really dehydrated in a heavyweight fight? Correct me if i'm wrong but don't a fighter be dehydrated to try and make the weight in a lower weight divisions? Smh. Look I get it stiverne was trying to get in shape but he's not dehydrated. Anybody believe this garbage should never talk about boxing ever again. Does Stiverne look dehydrated like De la hoya Look in the weigh in for his fight with Pacquiao? Did Stiverne look weak like Roy Jones did in his weigh in in the 1st fight with Tarver? I ask cause I didn't see stiverne look dehydrated at all doing the weigh in. He look fine to me. Just be a man and give wilder credit. Wilder beat Stiverne fair and square. And if stiverne wants to make excuses? Ok fine then wilder wasn't 100 percent either since he won the fight with a broken right hand which is the reason why he was jabbing way way way way way more then throwing his right hand.
:rofl Remembering some of the post weigh-in pre-fight comments on this board about weight. :yep :thinkMaybe Stiverne was dehydrated because he had to take a diuretic to flush something :huh out of his system. :think
This fight was fixed. Haymon paid king to have stiverne throw it. I dont think he was actually dehyrated. I think they have this manufactured so if it ever gets looked into by authorities something is on record and it can explain Stiverne's extremely poor performance.
Fight was fixed. They are telling Stiverne to do the "I was dehyrated thing" so when the authorities investigate this, it won't look like stiverne was just throwing the fight. He was "dehyrated"
LMFAO every fight is fixed now by Haymon. He's paying off the judges. He's paying off the fighters. He's paying off SHO, NBC. WTF. How is he making any money? :huh:huh:huh
LOL. Accept reality. Wilder won. All the moisture in Stiverne's body was soaked up by those Everlast gloves Deontay was wearing.
