I think that may explain some of Wilder's reticence.

Stiverne is definitely a fireplug, but Wilder just looks to gas himself fast in any sustained flurry.

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:

Agree, hes not nearly as powerful as his record would suggest. hes got a mean right cross though.

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

Baby Lee 01-17-2015 11:34 PM

And now it's nearly a staring contest.

'Hamas' Jenkins 01-17-2015 11:34 PM

If Wilder holds on to this, he needs to work on body snatching with his straights.

TribalElder 01-17-2015 11:34 PM

Trying to go all Roy jones jr

This has been a far more entertaining fight than Klitschko-Pulev, even if that one did have four KDs in five rounds.

jonzie04 01-17-2015 11:35 PM

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

Yeah, I think Wilder is going 4 corners at this point, content with a decision, unless Stiverne make a big error.

TribalElder 01-17-2015 11:36 PM

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

Hopefully he watched the HBO card with Herrera v. Benvenidez and Bradley-Chaves, b/c if he coasts he could get rat-****ed Herrera and Bradley did.
