Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
This explains a little bit. He had to be admitted and kept up to today with severe dehydration.
He was just too lethargic coming into the 6th and 7th round. His punches had no steam. Larry Holmes was ringside and sent a note to his trainers saying to put water over him.
King said he will talk to Sulaiman for a rematch. I would like that, indeed.

We don't know what he was eating or drinking during camp, we knew something was wrong during the fight but allowed him to continue to get punched in the head.
Brilliant.
If Stiverns mob handle anyone below heavy I'd be concerned.

Could be that he was/is a healthy specimen? There is a difference in in-grown strength and conditioning with Caribbean fighters and to some extent Eastern European fighters when you place them next to American fighters- better early age diets, and better quality specimens with little or no "social" hang ups that destroy habits and behaviour.
Stiverne may just be a good quality specimen, built Ford Tough. But even the best specimens have their limits. He took his to the limit under some extreme conditions, as it appears.
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
No excuses, I like Stiverne, but he did seem a bit "out of it" (maybe because of eating so many straight rights from the big punching Wilder) but did you see his non-existent footwork after round 6? He stood squared-up, no head movement, never even tried to duck under any shots that I saw, didn't make a fuck of a lotta sense to me.
The fat shit looked woefully out of shape to me as well, pudgy, sluggish, waddling like a duck.
Pudgy, sluggish, waddling like a duck. Seriously, wtf? happened to him? he's right he was "flat"----
though I would say more like "fat" bwahaha
How hard did this dude train for Wilder? You're going in against a chiseled 29 year old Adonis with a big cock and a small head, shoulders like Atlas, 32 KOs------ Stiverne looked like he was in the shape to fight a buffet table at an all-you-can-eat Mexican restaurant.
bad conditioning, and even WORSE FIGHT PLAN.

Thats what I've been saying about him for ages.
Its nothing new, just the big difference here was Wilder was a lot more difficult to hit because he had a hard jab, was tall, could actually ride punches because he could see them coming and could use his legs.
If Tua had been fighting Arreola he too would have won the title. Arreola is easy to hit, Wilder wasn't.
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
The man was brave enough to get into the ring with another professional fighter, risking serious injury and humiliation in front of millions.
Speedy recovery Bermane
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
Well Stiverne did stop moving at about the 6th. I think he shook those rights he took in the 2nd and the 4th. He never had movement. And when he tried to move, he did so for short stints and then looked gassed.
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
If the bell didn't save him at the end of the 2nd he would have probably ended the fight unconcious.
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
he was getting punched very very hard in the head over and over again
probably contributed to him stopping moving his head at the half way mark

I think Wilder even punched him on the deck after getting rugby tackled.
His team are obviously just making excuses. It's par for the course with virtually any beaten fighter

Yeah he gave him a dig on the floor.
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
Well... it wasn't a total blow out. And if he is explained to be dehydrated, then it was what it was.
When Briggs lost to Wilson- it only could have been a medical condition, as he was suffering from asthma. Some things just happen.
But when Lamon Brewster blew Wlad out of the water, everyone started to cry like little school girls that he was dehydrated and had grease/Vaseline slathered all over him so that was the reason why he gassed and that was why he deserved an excuse.
lololol.....
Re: Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!
Excuses.
Stivernes trainer booked a flight that night to do an mma match he was so sure.
Now we claim an experienced fighter and trainer were woefully unprepared...
That young boy took a VETERAN into deep waters...not the other way around.
