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.
