by

stiverneBy Dan Ambrose: Former WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KOs) will be back in ring in July against an opponent still to be determined. Stiverne, 36, lost his WBC title to the 6’7” Deontay Wilder last January in losing a 12 round unanimous decision.

Stiverne went to the hospital after the fight where it was learned that he was severely dehydrated. Apparently he’d over-trained for the fight, and hadn’t drank enough fluids beforehand. It’s unfortunate because it was a tough way to lose the fight.

Stiverne gave it a game effort, but he was totally outclassed by the 6’7” Wilder, as he ended up losing by a 12 round unanimous decision by the scores of 118-109, 119-108 and 120-107.

Stiverne vs. Wilder – an appraisal

by

deontay333333(Photo credit: Sumio Yamada) By John Stevens: Now that the dust has settled somewhat its time to have an unbiased appraisal of this WBC heavyweight title fight, look at the performances of each man, and see what the future potentially holds for them.

Firstly in my earlier post I was predicting a slug-fest. What we got wasn’t exactly that, but it certainly had its moments and it was always very interesting to watch. Stiverne, as I suspected, was the aggressor throughout, barely taking a step backwards whilst wilder was mostly back-peddling and working from the outside as Stiverne came marching in; and most effectively too I might add.

What especially impressed Foreman was how Wilder was able to box Stiverne for much of the fight instead of him just going out and looking to bludgeon the Haitian heavyweight into submission like he’d done his previous 32 opponents.

Wilder says he wants to fight four times this year if possible.

Wilder’s immediate goal is to fight three times if he can. Given that he wants to fight both Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, it’s highly unlikely that Wilder will fight more than one more time this year unfortunately.

Stiverne had to go to hospital after fight, says Wilder

by

stiverne566By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) badly punished WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KOs) last night in beating him by a 12 round unanimous decision by the scores of 118-109, 119-108 and 120-107 to take his WBC title.

Stiverne stood up to the big shots that Wilder was landing, but afterwards Stiverne looked in bad shape when being interviewed briefly after the fight. Wilder says that Stiverne had to be taken to the hospital after the fight. It’s unclear whether this was just a precautionary measure or if it was due to him having any after effects from all the punches he’d been hit with by Wilder.

Trainer Mark Breland stamps his signature on Deontay Wilder victory

by

deontay105(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Sizzle JKD: Here’s the thing, Deontay Wilder came with a game plan and executed it to perfection Saturday night to capture the WBC Heavyweight title at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Former champ Bermane Stiverne had no answer for Wilder’s jab, and was thoroughly outclassed as the longer and stronger Wilder showcased what trainer Mark Breland was hired to teach him. Even more impressively, Wilder showed he had the stamina to box a complete 12 rounds and maintain the intensity and focus to win the championship rounds of a championship fight against a legitimate threat who could knock him out at any given moment.
