I like Stiverne, but I want Wilder to win because he's the more interesting matchup for Wlad.
I just hope Wilder isn't one of those athlete-turned-fighter types that crumble once they're hit hard.
He'll get jabbed to death by Wlad.

I'd almost rather the WBC champ at heavy doesn't unify so we can have some competitive fights. Let Wlad be Wlad.
Same here, I like Stiverne more, but I want the cabdriver crusher to win just because it's more interesting.
But, Deontay has a glass chin which is why he's avoided anyone with a hint of boxing talent to this point, he got slumped in amateurs and Haye rocked him in sparring too:

The first heavy overhand right that connects against him will put him to sleep.
Wlad wouldn't have a reach advantage so it would be pretty interesting to see how he deals with someone longer than himself.

I never saw those. Pretty much confirms my worries about Wilder.
Stiverne has all the tools and patience to land that overhand right. For Wilder, it's all a matter of if he can get the knockout before it happens.

It's not like Wilder utilises his reach effectively so I don't see it being an issue.Same here, I like Stiverne more, but I want the cabdriver crusher to win just because it's more interesting.

To be fair to him, Haye has got a huge punch on him, and he was only put on jelly legs.
Then again, they are only sparring. And with headgear and bigger gloves, so...
This one was more off balance but it seems like his power wasn't that great either here http://youtu.be/gUlfI5VlZuY

It's just Maldonado knew how to fall down dramatically. All of them looked devastating.

I hope Stiverne has a better gameplan than stand in front of him and get hit with straight rights or I'm going to have to eat some crow

Stivene starting to get some shots in. Man Wilder has got an ugly style

Wilder throws his right then poses or flails it back like he expects a one shot KO every time....

Wilder is escaping death by dodging some of these Stiverne hooks

Damn, if Wilder wins X pad and I wont be able to make jokes about him anymore
Dammit. Why can't Stiverne just cut the ring off once!!! 32 cab drivers demand vengeance!!!
LMAO, I got my plate of crow ready, never thought Deontay could win this and I'm shocked he even made it out the first 5.

He did it. He beat someone decent. But for real. He's better than Seth Mitchell.

Welp, you'd think things would have changed when Wilder was gassing out, but Stiverne would never connect solidly.

That was a fun fight but I can't say I'm overly impressed with Wilder as a fighter.
He was sharp the first 5 rounds, he looked tired after that which I guess isn't a shock since that's the first time he's even past 4.

He fought tonight like Wlad minus the clinching. Once he learns to clinch excessively while throwing heavy jabs and strait rights and taking no chances he will be Euro level.

Well, I'll eat crow now. Wilder beat a legit guy. Keep him away from Wlad, lol.

Considering how late he started out, Wilder has really come a long way. Now everyone will act like Stiverne is a can.

Disappointed to see Stiverne make excuses.

Wilder showed that he can box his way to a decision against a game opponent. Great win for him.
I don't see the point of keeping him away from Wlad. The big prize is to beat him since he's the real champ and everyone knows it. Why not go for it all now instead of risking getting knocked out against an underdog? That's the way it goes with heavyweights.
To be the man, you've got to beat the man. Wooooooooo

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Yeah, really impressed with Wilder tonight.
Not so much that he was stellar.. but that he fought really contained, stuck to his gameplan, didn't make a "bunch" of mistakes and went a full 12rds against a really tough guy.
Well deserved win.. and great experience...
..and to the guy above posting the sparring gif... sparring doesn't mean shit.. that's like posting up videos of some NBA guy bricking freethrows from practice.
