How long will Wilder-Stiverne last?

Maybe for a complete novice.

...I would have thought this obvious but here goes anyway -

Fighting a smaller man and using a low guard does 3 things

1) it better protects the closest target your shorter opponent has (your body)
2) by standing tall and covering the body you force the shorter man to reach up, they have to be even closer to you to land anything, assuming your jab is decent you can keep them out of range much easier
3) because their punches are coming up and from far away, you have increased time to react and evade or counter the incoming (which you can see better because your guard is not blocking your view)

High guards provide limited countering opportunities and inhibit your visibility, pounding away at a guard is tiring, swinging at nothing but thin air is exhausting and makes retracting your punches slower.

A tall fighter with a high guard has less countering opportunities, reduced visibility and an exposed body.

High guards a best used by shorter fighters in a crouched stance, this draws the taller man into stooping and punching downward, allowing the shorter man to uncoil taller counter over the top.

Young Tyson using a high guard? Great

Wilder? Just no...

'Keep your hands up' is just vague, generic and basic parroted boxing tactics.

"Parroted" being the operative word here.
