    In my opinion, Wilder needed a fight like this prior to winning a belt. If he fought and won this type of UD over Stiverne about 10 fights ago, then it would have done him even more good.

    Either way, he proved a lot of people wrong tonight, regardless of Stiverne not being that great in reality. It was a good, entertaining fight to me.

    what if he fought Stiverne 10 fights ago and got knocked out. Would that have done him good?

    Yeah, that criticism makes no sense.

    Wilder today is much better in every way possible than the Wilder that fought Manswell/Beck (10 fights ago).

    Regardless of how I feel about Wilder, I have to support him. He has a great story, he's a fun character, and it's nice to see him grow. I wish we got a HW belt back in the states in another way, but I'll take what I can get... Ah, what the hell, Boooooomb Squuuuuuaaaad! (Man, why does that feel dirty?!)

    Its always fun to go back and read what people were saying before big fights, strange, seems like everyone rated Stiverne very highly, and most picked him to KO Wilder. :lol:

    I remember picking Stiverne. He had fast hands and decent pop, so i was hoping that he could get Wilder kinda like he got Arreola.
    Stiverne was what Breazeale is now.

    Here's the evolution of my thoughts on the first match in the vCash thread.
