he funny he called malik scoot a joke for getting ko'd...... jennings has said in the past he wasn't looking forward to fighting wilder...... ill be honest i don't see jennings do much better than bermaine..... wilder is better than he thinks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgT31vsqtRI&feature=youtu.be
Bermane fought horrible lets be honest. Didn't Bermane even admit that? Bermane never cut off the ring, no jab, no head movement, little body work, low work rate. Bermane showed zero attributes to get inside vs a taller fighter. All he did was very slowly plod forward with has hands up and wait to counter punch. It was a very bad performance.
That's what Stiverne is though. He's always low out put, sort of passive counter puncher. Last night was a standard Stiverne performance. He just couldn't find a home for his counter shot last night. So he lost. The only adjustment from the norm that Stiverne made for last night was that he kept a high guard.
That's pretty much every big fight I've seen him in. Arreola 1 & 2, Austin, King, and now Wilder he was outboxed and did essentially nothing for long stretches of time, takes 5-6 punch combinations before firing back, sits on the ropes waiting to counter punch, can't fight going forward, etc and usually tries to land the one big punch to turn the fight around as in Austin and Arreola.
Exactly, people seem to be thinking here that Wilder put on some master-class of boxing when in fact it was Bermane who was really awful, not to take away all the credit from Wilder he proved he's a top 5 fighter and many of us wrong in certain aspects. I think Jennings has a better style to deal with Wilder, he's a bit more mobile and has a better jab but I'm not sure he has enough, I could see him getting KO'd.
Jennings is one of the ost arrogant boxers these days. Guys like Floyd or Broner are arrogant as well, but they are doing it for the show. In real, Floyd can be a down to earth guy. He donated lots of money, opened his own foundation where he distributes food to homeless. There are also programms for his community, deprived areas and stuff. Jennings said in an AMA (Ask me anything), that people should start comparing him to Holyfield because he is better than Holyfield ever was. That guy thinks he's a god because he beat some bums and won through robbery against a fat, depressed, shot Mike Perez. Wladimir is going to destroy that guy badly. It's a huge step up from a street fighter like Szpilka to the greatest boxing champ of all time, who is in his prime right now. Looking forward to this fight.
Id favor Jennings solidly over both Wilder and Stiverne. In fact I think Perez is better than Stiverne. Jennings getting underrated here.
Lol. Stiverne is the one that's getting underrated here. Stiverene is a BEAST. Dude has way better defense than given credit for and has great determination. Stiverne's punching technique is also very, very good.
Despite Perez' Olympic pedigree, I'm not sure I agree with this. I think Stiverne has come a long way. He has great defense and punching technique. I think it's laughable how little credit Stiverne is being given here. People will find out how much of a force Wilder is, but I'm glad that people are still doubting him because it will only add fuel to the fire. Wilder clearly knew what critics were saying about him, so I hope they continue to doubt him, so he can continue to put on dominating performances.
