Bermane Stiverne remains hospitalized after title bout with severe dehydration!!

I'm getting real skeptical now. Does anyone believe his team was not monitoring his fluid intake.
I guess Stiverne was in the gym by himself most of the time, "Hey Bermey, if you have any questions we'll be across the street, having a cup of coffee. Don't worry about locking the place up, I already asked one of your sparring partners to do that. Oh yeah, drink some water."
Stiverne is preparing for an important fight and nobody is asking, "How are you feeling, Champ?" ten times a day?
He's been preparing for fights for years and years and he doesn't know his own body enough to say, "Something is wrong, I don't feel right." with enough conviction to get their attention?
I guess it could happen.

To be fair just to look at him and the amount of excess weight he carries, how good are his trainers, or does he even listen?

Does he have the same trainers as this guy ?

This occurrence has raised some red flags for me. I am not one to typically buy into a fighter's excuses for a loss, but in this case I think it could play a bigger factor. Stiverne has said he wasn't hurt at all and I don't buy that he got wobbled a bit and should have had a knockdown counted against him as well, HOWEVER, if he was that dehydrated it could have really sapped his power, stamina, etc.

Has Bermane said why he was dehydrated? The Flu? Norovirus? If he suffered through either of those then I'd say Wilder is very lucky indeed.

Oh Al, you are fixated on this man. Man crush much?

There is a massive difference. Stiverne was supposed to be the heavyweight champion defending his title. He should have been well prepared and in shape.

One man dehydrated the other man injured his hand both have been confirmed- the young guy handled his adversity, the champ didn't.

Fighting with one hand is a little different than fighting with no energy or body control. I have seen guys win fights and score knockouts with one hand.

Same could be said: We saw Wilder KO Scott with a left hook. So, why couldn't he stop a weakened Stiverne with half of a right hand or with one good left hook??

I don't think people realize how serious Rhabdomyolysis is. People back in the day of less sophistication would have called it "over training". But it is a diagnosed medical condition.

Yeah but it's not something you catch or happens for no reason, it's caused by the wrong doing of the guy who's afflicted, in this case overtraining and not consuming enough fluids. He never caught the flu, or got in a car crash, or something else beyond his control. Him and his team trained stupidly.

So whether it's true or not, either way it comes back on him and his team. Adequate preparation is just as big a part of the sport as the actual performance.

I'm questioning your logic nothing else , you have one rule for others then your hero fury is exempt from the same criticism.
So you could say fury doesn't listen to his trainers also as he is a fat fuck also ? I was asking a question as you always have double standards.
Everybody knows here that you get a semi on when you talk about fury ! I'm asking why Stiverne was a disgrace for being fat but it's ok for fury?
My issue is with your double standards not about a fat glass jawed wannabe.

It's probably really dehydrating to go 10 rounds after you've already had the living shit knocked out of your brain also. Stivernes best two rounds were the 11th and 12th, and he's ALWAYS had a terrible output. Wilder was by far the best puncher and fighter he'd ever been in against, nothing seems to be made out of the fact that it was a big step up for him as well. The idea of this as damage control for the guy is laughable.
