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

[Beanflicker]

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.

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

I have just watched a career highlight reel of Wilder , he has fought some crap for sure.
This fight will tell us if he can take it up to a new level , Stiverne will catch him on the chin at some point , then we will see if Wilder is a KO KING or a PAPER TIGER.

im excited in the sense that they are both big punchers and it will be a good fight while it lasts. neither of them though have proven that they are good fighters yet.

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.
