Lol ok. Most knowledgeable fans consider him to be the clear #2 HW behind Wlad, I guess you aren't one of them... Keep on sipping the Kool Aid, Wilder is garbage.
Stiverne rocked up to camp weighing 290lbs 8 weeks from fight time. They burned him out trying to shake off 52lbs of flab. Throw in the fact he was showering lap dancers at 4am a couple of days before the fight and you have a pretty dangerous combination. If he sorts his life out, he could be very dangerous (he's the fastest of the heavies, and he certainly has pop). I'm not optimistic.
His performance in the fight is not that of someone "overexerting" himself. He must have the worst cardio in the history of the sport because he barely even moved. There was really nothing wrong with him before the fight?
It's not an excuse. I like Wilder and wanted him to win. But, it's not an excuse when doctors say Stiverne did have that condition. So it is his fault for not pulling out, but for us fans we know it was a factor. I just find it strange that he supposedly overexerted himself in the fight, but yet he hardly even moved.
Stiverne fought the way he usually fights. Eating shots, trying to slip shots, not doing much in the first six rounds. Then he tries to pick up the pace a bit, tries to land something big. However, when he was outboxed to the degree he was by Wilder, then he was spent and in over his head. There was nothing he could do to turn the table. Wilder is simply better. He controls distance better, he is more mobile, more athletic AND THROWS MORE PUNCHES. I'm not saying Stiverne was 100 %. I'm saying it would not have made any difference if he was.
I wonder how King felt about Wladimirs missing ER blood and urine tests along with his missing INDEPENDENT LAB toxology results that were destroyed hours before Wladimirs lawyers went to claim them, some 10 days prior to the normal sample destruction protocol.:think Lab tech driving a Mercedes.atschatschatsch ER nurse living in a 300K home just months after the toxicology results were prematurely destroyed. And with Rohypnol, or other similar tranquilizers which tend to alter performance in a negative manner, they're often out of the blood stream in less than 72 hours. :think
And Stiverne was partying with Superbiitch in the months leading up to the fight. Luckily for Superbiitch, his handler, AL GAYMAN, wouldnt allow a destructive puncher near his prize biitch. However, Al GAYMAN knew that his prize BIITCH would cause Berman to shiit all over himself and his preparations. When you lay with dogs you get fleas. Even female dogs like SuperBiitch.:thumbsup
