Not unless Wlad ages badly between now and if they fight. He get's picked apart at range and stopped late.
problem is stiverne has no real foot movement, he likes to stay near the ropes, i can see him missing with his low left hand jab, and getting countered, i think he would get knocked out. stiverne needs his guy to be at him, close for his counter power punchers to come off, he will be hitting thin air against wlad.
Well said. Hits harder than a diamond encrusted tank. Took Arreola's power. Best body puncher at HW behind Malik.
I like Stiverne for finally putting an end to the Arreola hype but in reality he has no chance against Wlad. Stiverne is a smallish heavyweight and lacks the mobility to cut the ring off against Wlad. Wlad will dance circles around him, it would be a very one sided where Wlad cruises to a comfortable decision. Pesonally I think Chisora as the style to give Wlad the most problems. Even Steward thought Chisora's style was problematic for Wlad.
He just looks too slow for me, stiverne has good power but its not that good, and without speed its all wasted. Would like to see him fight pulev next
