Deontay says he’s going to unleash the beat on the 36-year-old Stiverne by going after him immediately to take him out as fast as possible. The 6’7” Deontay is seeing this as a situation where he’s providing for his daughter, and he’s not going to let Striverne keep him from making a good life for her.
It’s about family with Deontay, and that’s got him keyed up to the point where he can’t wait to get inside the ring to tear the Canadian based Stiverne apart in front of the boxing public in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“I need to let this beast inside of me out. I am so ready for this fight. We are bringing back the heavyweight division.”
The last time that Deontay spoke in those terms of unleashing the beast, he destroyed Audley Harrison in one round in their fight in April of 2013. Harrison never stood a chance at Deontay hurt him with a right to the head with the first punch he threw in the fight. With Audley on shaky legs, Deontay bombarded with powerful windmill punches until Audley collapsed in his corner and was unable to get up.
The shots that Deontay landed would have knocked out a horse, because he was really teeing off on the British fighter. The only think of when you watch that fight and hear Deontay speaking in the same terms again is that Stiverne could find himself in big, big trouble on Saturday night if he gets clipped by one of Deontay’s big right hands early on.
Deontay is a lot faster than Stiverne with better power and youth. As such, if Wilder can land a big right hand in the opening three minutes of the fight then there’s going to be a good chance that he’ll finish the job with a flurry of punches to put Stiverne down for the count.
“Once I known this guy out it will be on to the next guy for me. He will definitely go down. I’m going to hurt him bad,” Deontay said.
Getting hit by a 6’7” fighter like Deontay with the kind of power he has is going to be a rude awakening for Stiverne. He’s never fought anyone as big or as talented as Wilder in the pro game, and he’s going to be getting hit by shots from different angles that he’s not used to being hit with.
Deontay likes to loop his shots, especially when he gets a guy hurt and that’s going to make it awfully difficult for Stiverne to try and block all of them. Stiverne likes to place his gloves in front of his face while resting his huge bulk against the ropes during his fights. He won’t be able to block Deontay Wilder’s looping shots if he chooses to fight like that, because it doesn’t work.
Stiverne has to keep his hands out in front of him in order to try and pick Deontay’s shots off before they come in range of his head, because if he simply glues his gloves to his face, Deontay will get his shots around his gloves to the unprotected part of his head. Additionally, Deontay’s power is so good that his strength will go straight through Stiverne’s gloves into his head and it’ll hurt him just as bad.
