Stiverne-Wilder for the WBC title.. says Schafer

[beenKOed]

Wilder should be winning this easily. Stiverne's so stumpy and static he'll need Wilder to voluntarily sit in the pocket to get any work done. Wilder 'should' have no trouble whatsoever controlling the distance and bombing Stiverne out of there after softening him up for a few rounds.

I'm starting to feel better!

Is Stivernes jab remotely close to the one Firtha was able to touch Wilder with quite a few times? Wilders almost clumsy attack can be exploited and Stiverne doesn't mind slowing a pace and he can find more than a few short counters in there. The worse thing Wilder could do is think all he has to do is go bombing and he'll fall over like the other stuntmen Wilder has faced, and I haven't seen any indication of this pro ported accurate stamina proven boxer puncher. I hope he gets sparked frankly.

Wow, Im surprised Wilder is getting this fight. I would have thought there would be a few europeans higher ranked then Wilder to get a title shot.

[Bo-Bo24]

I'll believe it when Wilder's actually in the ring with him

Stiverne is pretty good imo, he's just kinda lazy and looks to counter exclusively a lot. He can do that though, and he can move a bit, Wilder hasn't seen any of that.
If Wilder used his jab well and kept range to throw the right he'd win easy, but he didn't do that at all the other night and maybe isn't very good at it. If he comes in so sloppy again looking to fight I think Stiverne is well capable of taking him out.

Every fight I have seen o wilder he has been sloppy. That's why I don't think he's that good. He gets away with it cz he's fighting bums and clearly has power but I think when he gets in with someone with a pulse he'll be found out. I think Stiverne coul be that guy. He's technically good and as u said is a decent mover. If he can keep wilder off balance for a few rounds to take his power away he could be successful. On the other hand Wilder could tag him early an en it

This doesn't feel like a Heavyweight Title fight.
If anything it takes legitimacy away from the belt

[TitoFan]

I don't believe it.

I read the link, and the key words are "...is looking to match..." and "...my goal is to have..."
I'll believe it when I see both fighters walking toward the ring... and even then I might be a little skeptic.

Stiverne has a fucking chin of iron and yes he will take some bombs early but he will survive and Wilder isnt used to going long, Stiverne is the True HW Champ, undisputed soon, this cat will go to the top. he is my boy. He will be sittin on the throne by Summer '14, crowned the Haitian King of Pop, awesome massive man, deep well and heart, he is going to the top. Wilder is unimpressive, he is a charlatain and will not be around much longer.
