Confirmed: Bermane Stiverne vs. Dominic Breazeale On Deontay Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz Undercard

I hope Breazeale beats Stiverne, I don't want to see Stiverne challenge for the title again. Breazeale vs Wilder is a bit more interesting than a Stiverne rematch if it comes to that.

However, I'm not convinced Breazeale beats Stiverne if Bermane gets into shape. Izu Ugonoh nearly had Breazeale out of there but his chin / stamina let him down, I could see a focussed Stiverne finishing the job. Then again, we'll probably get a fat, plodding form of Stiverne who has no business inside a ring.

Until this is officially announced I'm not biting. Even if it is, I'll be expecting some last minute shenanigans to scupper the fight.

 

sounds good. lets pray

 

DB will finish off what's left of Stiverne. Good riddance.

 

This would be great if it were true.

 

I'll be shocked if this actually is confirmed.

Even if Wilder does want it, why would Stiverne accept step aside money to face a dangerous opponent for likely very little money when he's made it clear before he isn't stepping aside. And even if Stiverne does agree to this why would Ortiz fight Wilder for peanuts when he has a huge pay day in Joshua likely in the near future?

Only way this happens is if Haymon is digging very deep into his pockets and throws serious money at both Stiverne and Ortiz.

 

Stiverne must have realized the threat of legal expenses and a lost ranking due to missing a drug test.

Breazeale must have agreed to not pursue any legal action against Wilder over the hotel incident.

Wins for all.

 

ortiz/stiverne easy money

 

Next week or "soon"?

 

Four heavies with zero long-term future. (kayo waiting to happen, too old, has been that was lucky to even be than, and just plain mediocre)

 

So Stiverne was unable to enforce his fake mandatory it seems. Good.

 

I'd rather not watch any of these four again. This card is a big wet coleslaw fart in the mouth.

 

Stiverne will do nothing. He will be 39 in the coming months and the last time he looked any good inside the ring was back in 2014, and even then, Arreola was beating the crap out of him.
Stiverne barely beat Rossy back in 2015, and he got his fat ass dropped early in the fight.
Breazeale will run though him.
