Stiverne reminds me of Michael Dokes
deceptively quick, he even looks a bit like Dokes, great power in both hands, good chin. sort of shorter and stockier and having a square sort of build with a bit short arms. He will give ANYBODY a good run for their money.
I predict Stiverne upsets Wilder with a short inside quick left hook right on the button. I think Wilder punishes Stiv for about 3 or 4 rounds. Stiverne will wait for the opening, he is a wily motherfucker.
Re: Stiverne reminds me of Michael Dokes
That's probably a pretty good person to compare him to. Dokes had VERY quick hands for a big man, probably a good deal faster than Stiverne, seems they have the same problem of waiting around for the big counters.
Stiverne-Wilder is a pick em fight, not sure how anyone could be confident otherwise. Wilder is completely untested, while Stiverne isn't hard to find and seems very poorly suited to fight a rangy guy. That would definitely be an early KO one way or another imo.

good forecast of how the fight would go. One thing for sure, this will not be a unanimous decsion! :)
Re: Stiverne reminds me of Michael Dokes
Stiverne fights like the welterweight Kirkland Lang with his hands low and fast hands. Dokes is a close comparison but probably not as good. What I would give to see a young Evander Holyfield now to rip a part the division.

He will have to keep his hands a bit higher vs Wilder :) Yeah a 200 pound Holy would tear the place up
