Bermane's style of jabbing from the outside looking to set up a big power punch is all wrong for Wladimir. Nobody here really thinks that Bermane has a legitimate chance of dethroning the champ do they? Everything Stiverne does, Wladimir does much better, including throwing power shots.
Yeah you wish. Fact is you seen Stiverne take some hard punches tonight with no effect. Stiverne will murder Wilder and you know it. Stiverne has the tools to beat Wlad. Stiverne is the WBC champion of the world and I don't see anyone out there that can beat him. Best thing for Stiverne to do is just ignore Wlad and give fans fights they want to see.
Vlad turned 38 March 25th, Stiverne is 35 going on 36................Vlad will knock him out cold.......................Vlad said he wants the fight ASAP and he also wants to fight Wilder ASAP.....................
Stiverne is managed by Don King and King is known to avoid Wlad like the plague. Stiverne won't ever face Wlad. Ever.
Are people forgetting the Ray Austin fight? Wlad by easy UD or KO. Stiverne's feet are far too slow, his has a punchers chance due to his power but it's not likely he will be able to land a bomb.
Wlad is on another level. They all looks tremendous against regular heavyweight, but once in a ring with the champ they freeze and go in defensive or survival mode.
Wlad will toy with this short to the ground crab. Stiverne is a counterpuncher. Wlad will jab and move, slowly break Stiverne down and drown him in the late rounds.
Yes, but as was pointed out repeatedly on the ESPN broadcast, Stiverne fires his jab from his waist, whereas Wlad throws a textbook jab with a much straighter, shorter path. Also, being taller aids Wlad in his range to Stiverne's head.
Stiverne is too slow of foot to close the distance, and his low left hand style is asking to eat jabs. If he has any chance, he'll need an absolute pure titanium chin. Luckily for Stiverne, Wlad has shown no interest in the WBC belt. I mean he won every other belt but was content to let some other guy hold the WBC belt for years. :yep
Bermane is no better than Sultan Ibragimov, Ruslan Chagaev, David Haye, Alexander Povetkin, Lamon Brewster, Calvin Brock and Tony Thompson.
