Don't know about anyone else... but I'M excited about Wilder-Stiverne!

I think Stiverne is a bit overrated and is going to get tooled by Deontay.

No disagreement on the first part. There are whispers though that Wilder lacks a chin, which can be confirmed by the Harold Sconiers fight and that knockout with headgear on in the amateurs. No one makes it out of the first round to find out though. Stiverne should prove savvy enough to get to the middle grounds and he packs a punch. If the fight goes past the first few rounds, it'll be interesting. With that said, Stiverne has been stopped before too.

Wilder confident, no doubt this will be a great fight. Tough to pick a winner IMO.

Fury thinks the same thing.

Definitely an interesting fight . The HW division needs people like Wilder, Joshua to bring excitement, and even Fury is good because of his outrageousness (is that even a word?)
I stop a bit short of saying the glory days are back, but it is a matter of fact that a top American would ignite the division. (if that's what Wilder is.)
My personal opinion is that no doubt Wilder has KO power, but he is still raw and wild at the highest level. That won't stop it being an exciting ride though.
Good luck to him.

Could be, I guess we shall see. David Tua got starched in a few seconds by Savon with head gear on and he went on to have an amazing pro chin so I guess we'll have to see how Wilder takes a punch. I know Haye stung him a few times in sparring but Haye hit like a mack truck.

The fight's only a week away, and the excitement is building (I hope).
Both Stiverne and Wilder are talking trash..... so that's always a good sign.

Yes, I'm very interested to see this fight. I was just going on about it to a friend who has no interest in boxing. If Deontay can become a name here in the US it may do a lot for boxing in general. I'm not holding my breath.

I'm looking forward to it, going to get it on tv but does anyone know what tv channel it will be on in canada, it appears showtime is not availible here and my search on the listings has come up with nothing so far?

Yeh I'm stoked for this in a circus kinda way. The two are exact opposites in mind and attack, something has to give. If Wilder was anymore fool of himself we'd call him the Hindenburg or Spruce Goose
