Stiverne is the same guy who fought a close, compeditive fight with a 40-plus year old RAY AUSTIN a year or two back.

I say Wilder destroys Stiverne. I don't think this goes past 6.
I think Wilder stays in the fight for the distance. He will certainly pace this fight with Wilder. Could possibly win on points.

If Wilder ko's Stiverne in under 6, I would be TOTALLY shocked. But, due to the styles, Stiverne's strength, experience with taller guys, as well as his skill level and power, I see this being a distance fight- with sporadic and exciting exchanges, which will make this fight a 4 star out of 5 kinda fight.

It may not be a barn-burner, but it will certainly be enough for us to be entertained.
