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

[rjj tszyu]

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.

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.

I disagree.

We already know Wilder can't beat Wladimir. He has been battered in sparring by Wlad and Haye already.

Stiverne has a real punchers chance.

Unless Wilder has improved drastically since those camps. He looked like a flailing gazelle in the footage I have seen against both aforementioned fighters.

I am excited for this fight as well though, very unpredictable and guaranteed to end in a KO.

Sparring isn't the same as fighting.

That is absolutely spot on, sparring is not the same as fighting and too many people including myself are probably putting a little too much emphasis on what happened to Deontay when he sparred the likes of Haye and Wlad. Another thing that we should probably be focusing on a little more whilst talking about those sparring sessions is the experience that Wilder will have gained from those sessions. I don't know much about who Stiverne has sparred in the past but Wilder has sparred excellent opposition, that has to be something that is in his favour!?

Yes I suppose all that is true as well.

To be honest they both represent credible opposition for Wlad and both very difficult/dangerous opponents to face in elite HW boxing. It's a real pick em fight.

Hey.......... I haven't said that about a heavyweight fight in............. I don't remember.

Yes this one is exciting I have bought the fight , not because either fighter is the real deal just because it holds some excitement . We really don't know who will land the bomb first.

I think it was Pulev/Klitschko, Arreola/Stiverne.. You know, the LAST big HW fights!!

Just face it!!

HW is and always HAS been, the most exciting division! By far!

[Beanflicker]

Haven't been this excited for a HW scrap since Haye/Wlad... and that's real talk!!!


Wilder is the HW Tommy Hearns

Actually, I didn't say that before either fight.

Having seen Stiverne before, I'd observed he can exhibit the mobility of drying cement.
Naturally, I was pleasantly surprised by both Stiverne-Arreola fights.

Forgive me, but I've never said that before a Wlad fight.
Too much negative history.

As for your last statement, it's the type of statement that ostracizes you from the rest of the civilized world. Saying that the HW is currently the most exciting division is like insisting that the world is flat. If you really believe that, you're ignorant.

I agree that the HWs are exciting and get a lot of attention, but if you want action the little guys are where it's at!
Flying fists, combinations coming so fast it's hard to follow them, more KDs, and most of the time nonstop action! I don't know how many times I've sat and wondered how can these guys keep up this pace.

Oh man... the telecast begins at 11:00 pm local time (AST). Even later than usual. It's tough being out here one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time. No matter. I'm amped up and ready for the fight! Does anyone know how many fights are on the televised portion of the card?
