I don't even think Stiverne connected with a jab the whole fight. Anyway, after Stiverne went down, and was hurt, he was Wilder's bitch? Wilder keeping his hands down, throwing wide, wild shots, was all for show. Stiverne basically quit after going down the first time, if not quitting before the fight. That won't happen with AJ, or Parker for that matter. Nor would it have happened to Takam.
To be honest with you stiverne looked like a beaten man as he was making his way to the ring. I think he knew he was out of shape and didnt have it any more. There were reports that joe joyce (who isnt very good) gave stiverne a beat down in sparring. After what i saw last night i think thats true.
Not a great matchup for AJ stylistically . Wilder has height reach and power. AJ won’t be able to wear too many of those right hands . I see AJ Wilder a 50/50 fight .
