    He has great reach with fast and powerful punches, but how is he going to avoid punches that can end any of his fights? The video of him getting ko or hurt doesn't seem to be from powerful punches at all.

    I mean even if you have the offensive power and skills of Tyson and if Tyson had a weak chin at the level of Wilder, Tyson would not have the same level of acclaim. At least not the first half of his career.

    The virgin in you is too strong. I feel bad for humiliating you this badly, I'm pretty positive that you're never going to stop replying since you're so butthurt about the beat down I'm giving you, and the fact that you have so much time on your hands. I shall grant you the last word. Congratulations. clap::clap::clap::clap:

    Sadly, your wrong about Wilder being in great shape.

    It's blatantly obvious that Wilder grew up satisfied with his legs b/c he could jump off em.

    But in boxing.....jumping aint getting you nowhere.

    Ike Ibeabuchi was in great shape. Chris Byrd was in great shape. Oliver McCall, Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko were/are in great shape.

    And bet they probably couldnt dunk a basketball off the lob.:think

    Stiverne by KO.

    I cannot see Wilder winning.
    He has fought low level opposition, never been past the fourth round and I don't believe he is a real power puncher.

    Wilder's lean frame including skinny legs makes it difficult to believe he is a monstrous puncher.

    For example;
    Compare Wilder's 219 lbs on a 6'6 vs. Wlad's 240 lbs on 6'6.
    Wlad is a power puncher.

    Longer than Tyson-Spinks, but shorter than Lewis-Golota.

    Good man.

    That said, I am genuinely undecided about this fight, but if there's a gun to my head then I go with experience everytime.
    So stick me down for BWare bro :smoke

    Hopefully not very long. Gonna watch it with a couple of friends and they aren't big boxing fans so I'd rather not listen to them whine, hopefully someone gets taken out aka glass shatters as they say nowadays.

    Korakuen Hall hold 2000 and often sell out for Japan national title. Boxing in US dead or just no interest in fight?

    It's funny that this fight seems to have resonated with the hardcore fanbase, but by all reports casual fans have little interest.

    I think the notion that Wilder is all hype adds to the hardcore fan interest, and many will tune in to see if he gets cracked.

    Stiverne doesn't do much for the promotion. Only fights once or twice a year, and really hasn't been known to even the most ardent fans before the Austin fight.
