I've been waiting and waiting to find out that very same thing. Fight nite is almost upon us.
I'm hoping Wilder wins big because I don't think Stiverne has a chance against Wlad.
I disagree.

We already know Wilder can't beat Wladimir. He has been battered in sparring by Wlad and Haye already.

Stiverne has a real punchers chance.

Unless Wilder has improved drastically since those camps. He looked like a flailing gazelle in the footage I have seen against both aforementioned fighters.

I am excited for this fight as well though, very unpredictable and guaranteed to end in a KO.

Sparring isn't the same as fighting.
That is absolutely spot on, sparring is not the same as fighting and too many people including myself are probably putting a little too much emphasis on what happened to Deontay when he sparred the likes of Haye and Wlad. Another thing that we should probably be focusing on a little more whilst talking about those sparring sessions is the experience that Wilder will have gained from those sessions. I don't know much about who Stiverne has sparred in the past but Wilder has sparred excellent opposition, that has to be something that is in his favour!?
