    Exactly: he was a fat bum before the fight, and after the fight Don King is trying to tell us he is a tremendous athlete who forgot to drink water before the fight.

    There is no way a fat, slow bum can beat a fit, athletic power-puncher. That's why Stiverne lost, and that's why he will always lose against good fighters. Against other fat cab drivers he might win, because one of them has to win. But he can't beat a good fighter.

    With years it is getting worse. If you are overweight for such a long time, it catches you at some point. If I were him, I would fight even at 225 no more. He was oo fat. Look at the weigh-in pics. It was unbelievable.

    Why do people keep saying Stiverne didn't cut the ring off. He did cut the ring off, he just couldn't connect on wilder chin.

    He's just fat and slow and used dehydration as an excuse for that awful performance.

    A fat man runs in a thread mill and almost dies of exhaustion.

    A fat man goes 12 rounds while eating shots all night and the same thing happens. He's just fat, that's all.

    Dont really get how a HW would get dehydtarted in this way though. Its not like he had to make weight.

    Maybe as someone said before he has somthing wrong with his stomach

    That's pretty bad, shows he was not prepared properly by his team, very poor, definitely handicapped him in the fight and explains why he never got going, but more importantly it risked his health.

    lol Wilder couldn't KO a weight drained zombie

    even pillowfisted Andre Ward was able to do that last time he fought one

    If a 10 year pro veteran doesnt know he should drink friggin water, then I dont think anyone else can be blamed.

    I just think he's suffering from exhaustion having never had to fight at the level of intensity before.

    Trying to get beyond the jab clearly wore him out.

    King has A LOT of influence with the Sulaiman's over the years I would expect a rematch to happen if King asks for it.

    a nutritionist friend told me drinking water is a big part of weight loss as otherwise the body will store fat as a source of hydration. so fatso getting dehydrated doesn't really add up.

    I've got no sympathy for a fighter who can't be bothered to train adequately to defend his title, which is supposedly so important to him.

    As such, the excuse actually makes Stiverne lose face in my book.

    I picked Deontay to win and just had it chalked up to Stiverne losing to the better man. If he didn't prepare properly, that's entirely on him.

    How could this possibly happen? Why the **** would a heavyweight dehydrate?
