By Scott Gilfoid: Boxing great George Foreman sees this Saturday’s fight between WBC heavyweight belt holder Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs) and American talent Deontay Wilder (32-0, 32 KOs) as a bout that the 6’7” Deontay can easily win if he comes out on fire and uses his power, speed, size and aggressiveness to take the fight to the 36-year-old Stiverne.

Deontay has the size advantage, as well as the speed, youth and power advantage going for him. Foreman doesn’t think that Deontay should play it safe with Stiverne, because he feels this could lead to a fight where Stiverne gets opportunities to land his own big shots rather than it being a one-sided affair with Deontay getting rid of the smaller, aging champion as quick as possible.

By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight sensation Deontay Wilder (32-0, 32 KOs) has heard a lot about how his opponent this Saturday WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs) will be looking to counter him with left hooks and right hands each time Deontay comes within punching distance in their Showtime televised fight, and Deontay doesn’t see how the 36-year-old Stiverne will be able to connect with his shorter punches.

Deontay doesn’t plan on letting Stiverne get close enough to connect on any of his power shots in this fight because he’s going to keep him at arm’s length by fighting smart.

Stiverne says he’s going to punish the 29-year-old Deontay by making him feel a lot of pain during the beating he plans on giving him before he finally puts him out of his misery by knocking him out. Stiverne figures that Deontay will fall apart once he starts feeling hard punches for the first time in his pro career.

By Scott Gilfoid: With a week to go before his title defense against unbeaten knockout artist Deontay Wilder (32-0, 32 KOs), WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs) has gone from being a quiet and humble champion to that of an overconfident individual who talks as if he walks on water. Stiverne and the 6’7” Deontay will be meeting up next Saturday night on January 17th on Showtime.

Stiverne, 6’2”, doesn’t see his lack of size as being a problem for him in this fight, as he says he’s always done well against taller fighters. Stiverne talks about his amateur days many, many years ago when he was beating taller fighters.
