No wonder he wasn't throwing any punches, his body was dying inside. Tough ****er lasted all 12 and still rocked wilder with shots that were only glancing to the head and partially blocked. REmatch ASAP
He was a corpse walking...http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/...-hospital-after-being-treated-for-dehydration
That anit nobody's fault but his. Like it was nobody's fault but oscars to drain himself to fight pacquiao. things happen but Stiverne so called healthy still fights the way he fights. starts slow and wont get past a jab
He looked the same as Stiverne always looks slow, and plodding a throwing occasional punches, just this time he wasn't laying on the ropes for 6 rounds waiting to get a KO, he was trying to walk down Wilder and wore his chubby behind out.
Here's what you can't take away from Wilder: the discipline. Stiverne looked like **** and (based upon one watch) he made so few mistakes. Excellent generalship based upon patience and discipline which is what we thought he didn't have. So even if Stiverne was blind and drunk, good performance, impressive.
I think the new rule in boxing should be that an immediate rematch should be ordered any time someone loses a fight and says afterword that they have an excuse and wasn't 100 percent for some reason. It's only fair.
Instead of povetkin fighting his way back to the number 2 spot and a rightful candidate for a rematch with wlad, haye should immediately get the rematch because his pinky was hurting a bit durin the fight. That's only fair!
agree. Wilder proved nothing with this fight not even his glass jaw was properly tested, he was fighting a walking corpse Stiverne should have been in a hospital bed, not in a boxing ring
Stiverne talked trash and got whipped. He looked awful and only has himself to blame. Walked around the ring all night like a punching bag with legs.
Could he have gotten dehydrated talking trash during the fight all night? Had to dry his mouth out to keep yapping like that.
He fought like a rank and file amateur. No head movement, slowly walking forward. It was pitiful to see.
Yeah, he really didn't do much different that he did against Arreola. However, I have noticed that he has gone away from the active head movement we used to see. I assume that this is so he can more easily seize opportunities to land those home run counters of his. Anyone think a rematch is possible?
