(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Francis: Having watched the available tapes of both Deontay Wilder and Bermane Stiverne, I have come to a conclusion that if they face each other, I favor Stiverne to win most likely by knockout. The reasons for my prediction are:
1. Stiverne seems to have more technical skill and boxing IQ than Wilder.
2. Stiverne has better defence.
3. Stiverne has faced far better opposition than Wilder, thus has more elite experience.
