If Wilder gets him against the ropes like that it's curtains.

He was against the ropes when he caught and stunned a normally thick chinned Arreola about 3 times between the onslaught. Being hit is a two way street and Arreola for all his faults at least had a proven chin and durability. Wilder hasn't come close to proven he can maintain an offense, or his balance, when dealing with sharp counters like that.
Exactly and that's where Wilder is most at risk. Stiverne is going to land in between those loopers that start from the farm down the road and what many people don't seem to realize is that Stiverenes mongoose act is actually part of his schtick. He's got real confidence in his chin and is willing to take a good shot to land a good shot. He's much faster then most hevs and has a real good short shot inside game. I don't see Wilder as being all that difficult to shake up mentally in all the pre fight stuff. He could very well be as mentally weak as I think his chin is. He has not had to deal with any adversity during his spoon feeding. Ahhh but come see come saw. Haymon most likely wont allow him to go there.
