Boxing on showtime
Deontay Wilder trying to go 33-0 with 33 knockouts and win the heavyweight title over Bermane Stiverne
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deontay_Wilder http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermane_Stiverne Might be the first American champ in heavyweight boxing since 2007 |
America vs Canada
|
Wilder has faced the worst opposition of any HW title challenger of perhaps anyone in Heavyweight history.
The fight two fights ago between Imam and Maldonado was awesome. The third round had Maldonado knocking down Imam, then Imam knocked the shit out of Maldonado twice. He looked absolutely starched after both, but still got up. The last fight was stopped too soon, even if Ruiz was going down. |
This should be a good one.
Santa Cruz fight was good just before this one. The ref stopped it after a barrage of unanswered punches |
Dude coming in witha bunch of belts

Given how soft Stiverne's belly is, you'd think that Wilder would want to use that jab to soften him up.
First round: 10-9 Wilder, more for activity than accuracy. |
I wonder if Stiverne knows that you can use your legs and head movement to slip punches. He just seems content to catch those punches with his hands.
Holy shit at the end of that round ROFL ROFL |
Wilder got tackled
|
The Santa Cruz fight was stopped way too early
This ones good so far |
Wilder better not punch himself out too early
|
You can't fight a taller fighter with good straight punches unless you can slip them. Stiverne is fighting like a dumbass.
30-27 Wilder, but he is expending a lot of energy with his punch output. His legs already look a little heavy. |
They said on the radio that the soldiers stationed at the nearby base were excited because if this didn't sell out (it was expected not too) they got free tickets to fill the arena for tv purposes
|
Wilder has like 5 inch reach advantage
Pointing him to death with that jab in the scorecard |
If Wilder keeps leaving his right so low when he jabs he's eventually going to get starched. I'd give that round to Stiverne on ring generalship.
|
Wilder looks like he is getting tired
|
Wilder might have punched himself out too early LMAO
|
Pretty much no stiffness in Wilder's jab now. He's just pawing with it. Wilder's shown more chin than I expected, but his stamina looks pretty questionable right now.
|
Wilder making GREAT use of that reach
|
Throwing hands :clap:
|
Keeping that right low off the jab just got Wilder tagged. Fortunately for Wilder, Stiverne is the negative reciprocal of '88 Mike Tyson from an aggressiveness standpoint.
|
Wilder is gonna get caught slipping with his hands down after the initial exchange
|
|
They break pretty clean at the end of the rounds
Surprised one of them doesn't try to drop one late |
I agree with Farhood's card completely.
Big exchange for Wilder. Both of these guys have beards. |
THAT onslaught was what I envisioned when I first commented on Wilder's length
|
Seemed to be on verge of it then backed off. Probably tired himself out earlier.
|
This is an interesting fight between two really flawed fighters.
|

Good battle |

I think that may explain some of Wilder's reticence. |
damnit, forgot about this fight.

Can't tell if he's scared to open up or just plain lead-armed. |
Even if you aren't throwing your jab to score, you need to use it to get inside.
TBH, I think Wilder's power has been overrated by the cans he's fought. He's not featherfisted, but he's definitely not Earnie Shavers either. |
Big props to Stiverne's corner for telling him that he is way behind. Sadly, that almost never happens.
|
I didn't think the fight would go this long
It will probably go to decision :facepalm: |

I figured Stiverne was holding back to unload on a tired wilder but it doesn't seem to be coming and we are in 10
|
And now it's nearly a staring contest.
|
If Wilder holds on to this, he needs to work on body snatching with his straights.
|
Trying to go all Roy jones jr

just caught the past two rounds, surely stiverne hasnt been this inactive the whole fight?

I heard on the radio this week that nbc has signed a boxing deal to show like 11 matches this year or something
My numbers might be off |

NEW YORK -- Boxing is returning to prime-time network television in a big way.
NBC Sports made official the news that has swirled around the sport for months, announcing Wednesday at a news conference in New York that it has entered into a multiyear agreement with Haymon Boxing, the company headed by powerful adviser and manager Al Haymon, and will televise the first 20 cards this year. The series, titled "Premier Boxing Champions" -- "PBC on NBC" as executives are calling it -- will include five cards on NBC on Saturday nights, six on NBC on Saturday afternoons and the remaining nine in prime time on NBC Sports Network. |

Controversial decision coming

He got outboxed |
Stiverne was holding back for the rematch check
|
Even when he got sloppy his feet took him half a ring away.
|
One of the judges gave Wilder a 10-8 round? Interesting. Right decision, a little wider than I thought.
Wilder's chin is better than I expected. Power worse. Straight punches look legitimate. Hooks and uppercuts are wild. Footwork is meh, but his reflexes are solid. He needs at least two years of seasoning before fighting someone like Wlad, even though I despise that Ukrainian bastard. |

The way Stiverne held back I wonder if this fight was influenced to drive boxing popularity

Anyone else just watch the Pacquiao/Broner fight? Broner is classless trash, completely oblivious to his ass-beating.
|
When is the next Wilder fight ?

When does Joshua fight again? Can someone please PM me before it happens? I love that dude.
|
So why is Patrick Mahomes II boxing ? I think he should stick to football.
