Thread: Stıverne wıll HAVE TO get ınsıde FAST on Wılder

Or I foresee a very fast blow-out here. How can a smaller man maıntıan hıs balance when a bıgger man ıs manhandlıng hım about the rıng? Just gettıng knockewdf off balance by a shove or a push, wıll put the smaller man ınto a vulnerable posıtıon to get tagged. Also those wıld, overhand rıghts from Wılder, full force, even ıf they land on Bermanıne,s shoulders, wıll slıghtly kınock hım off balance, leavıng hım open for another rıght or wıld left hook from WIlder.

I'm going to have to disagree here because all Wilder has ever done is blast guys out early. I think what Bermane needs to do, is keep his center of gravity low, stay either really tight to or far away from Deontay and allow Wilder to throw some haymakers then just pick one to counter and BOOM a piece of the heavyweight title is his.

Wilder needs to respect Bermane's power, utilize the jab and pick his spots to release the big right hand.

Looking forward to this fight, if it ever happens. I suspect everyone is looking forward to finding out if Wilder is the real deal.
I think Wilder should continue to do what he has had success with. If he's a fraud he'll be exposed either way. IMO

A heavyweight fight that we can get excited about. I think Wilder is the real deal and wins by KO early.

I dunno!?!? The matchup here is interesting. Stiverne has a chance to win, and he has put down larger/taller men from his amateur days and he has only gotten better since then.

Stiverne can very easily knock Wilder out. The test in this fight will be the Stiverne chin-check. If Wilder can't respond to being hit cleanly- and I feel Stiverne will land one or two sweet ones- then we know what the deal is.

There's a lot of things stiverne can do to improve his position in this fight. First and foremost is work on his head movement. Lets be honest its not like punches will be coming from all angles. As you guys have said wilder favors that long range 2 piece... Stiverne can benefit greatly by slipping under those shots and countering when wilder haphazardly over extends as he often does. It keeps stiverne in a position to set up the counter and bomb wilder out when wilder stumbles face first into his range. The issue now is that stiverne likes to play that your turn my turn stuff at times and shell up along the ropes waiting for his opponent to finish.

The easiest thing stiverne can do next to that is get his cardio up and take wilder into deep water and drown him. Wilder's been lucky in that the amount of energy he pi$$e$ away with those big winging shots paid off before they slowed him down. Stivernes got the counterpunchers edge already, he just needs to max out his training camp and make it even easier on himself.

Lastly, take full advantage on the inside. Wilder is young and dumb enough to let go prematurely , figuring hes protected by the respect he feels he deserved from his star status. Work him over till the ref gets there. If he tries to lean on stiverne (as big fighters generally do with shorter fighters) Stiverne needs step through with his dominant leg, pivot back with the other foot, hook Wilder's heel and push him over. Big guys have to expend a lot more energy getting up.
