I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't feel like Stiverne is a bum. Watching the fight I felt that Stiverne planned on Wilder gassing at the half way point and not being able to last the distance, and that his plan worked to a degree. The factor that Stiverne didn't take into account, in my opinion, was how much of a toll Deontays jab and straight right would take on him. I honestly feel that if Stiverne could have willed himself to string together two solid rounds of going to the body and effective infighting, Wilder would have collapsed. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, I know, but I never felt that Deontay was on the verge of stopping him late, it seemed he wanted to cruise to the decision and not engage. Luckily the early work he did seemed to intimidate and frustrate Stiverne to not force the action until the last round.
