Stiverne-Wilder for the WBC title.. says Schafer

[Spicoli]

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.

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

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.

[Bo-Bo24]

Wilders next fight will either be against Chauncy Welliver or Bermane Stiverne, no one else. This comes from Wilders manager Jay Deas. Since I've never heard of Welliver and taking a look at his record he's lost to Solis and Sherman Williams, I'd hazard a guess that Weilliver will be Wilder's next opponent..

I hear you and halfway agree, but they have to let him step up sometime.
All these lateral and oblique moves are doing nothing for his rep, they have to know that.
Every time I see Wilder he looks unchanged, which means green.
Undefeated, 30 wins, 30 KOs is a good record, but you have to fight a live fighter for it to mean anything so I'm hoping they are through lying. Let's get serious, y'all.

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.
