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. |

He has his length advantage locked down too well, if anything Stiverne leaves himself open in a blitz.

Wilder gets sloppy when he tries to throw extended combos, which leaves him open to a good counterpuncher. With that said, I'm trying to understand how a guy becomes known as a counterpuncher if his only form of defense is eating jabs and not moving or slipping punches.

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. |

damn lol. i wonder if his strategy was to wither the early storm and turn it on late and he just got beat up too bad early on? or maybe finish him in the laye rounds? not sure, didnt get to catch it. I know wilders gas tank and chin were both unknowns coming in.

Wilder took a lead and had the tank, feet, and stature to hold a lead. Neither had the tank to go on offense.

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