Wilder proved he can fight for twelve rounds, that he can take a punch, that he can box with some skill, and that his money punch is the jab not that big right hand.
After this performance do you think Fury and his team are more inclined or less inclined to fight Wilder. Wilder has a belt now, and has proven himself against another decent HW.
Id say that Stiverne was hugely over rated from beating Arreola.
Iv been saying for ages Stiverne isn't that good. Cant move his head out the way of a punch. Cant move on his feet fast enough and gets hit far too much. A heavy Berto.
Wilder proved he is not as fragile as we thought, although lots of the punches it looked like he took we saw on replay he actually rode because he saw them coming as Stiverne telegraphed them. Stiverne was so poor at being in range to punch he nearly fell through the ropes!
See the times Wilder was pressured? Just put his gloves up and stood in front of Stiverne. No skills to hold, turn or move. Someone taller, quicker feet, better defence with the confidence to be in range to actually land and does Wilder do much back?
The reason Stiverne didn't look that good is because Wilder made him look bad with an outstanding jab that didn't stop coming the entire fight, and nearly constant movement.
I was worried Wilder might punch himself out after the sixth or seventh, but he stayed calm, listened to his corner, kept that jab in Stivern's face, and basically lead Stiverne around the ring like a dog on a lead.
You say Wilder didn't get hit that much because he was rolling with the punches. Sir, that is what he has been trained to do, that's what good boxers do.
You talk like Stiverne didn't land anything at all because he was so slow. Apparently you were at the frig when they were showing some of the replays, so I'll help you out by saying that Wilder did eat some good punches and kept right on fighting.
Stiverne nearly fell through the ropes all by himself because he was exhausted from the ass kicking he was taking and out of desperation to land something solid.
Wilder did lay on the ropes, at times, late in the fight but that was to be expected as this was the first time he'd been past 4 rounds in a fight, and he was fighting in a fast paced fight. I'd like to point out that nearly every time Wilder came off the ropes he gave Stirvene a little something extra, which you probably missed because of your extreme case of tunnel vision.๐
I might as well do a little crowing myself. I've been saying, for a while, that you can't really say Wilder is a one trick pony just because he KOs everyone he fights, I think Wilder proved that last night.
That's all water under the bridge now.
ROSS, DO YOU THINK FURY AND HIS TEAM WILL TAKE THE FIGHT WITH WILDER?
I think Wilder should fight some of the big HWs before he takes on
Wlad. I know you don't think so, but there are plenty of us who think Tyson needs some more experience before he fights for a belt, especially before he fights for Wlad's belts.
What do y'all think
