Deontay Wilder punched Stiverne so hard that metal rods in his hand were bent

Bermane Stiverne vs Deontay WilderBy Scott Gilfoid: To show you the kind of incredible punching power that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) has, he was said to have hit former WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne so hard with a right hand to the head that it bent a metal rod that the 6’7” Wilder has in his surgically repaired right hand.

Wilder ended up suffering a broken right hand in that fight. It was the same hand that Wilder broke previously in his career. Even with the broken hand, Wilder dished out a one-sided beating to the 36-year-old Stiverne and was able to easily win the fight by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision.

Eric Molina and other undeserving Heavyweight Challengers

wilder778888By Darmuid Sherry: On Saturday, Deontay Wilder (33-0) makes his first defence of the WBC Heavyweight Title, in his home state of Alabama against the heavy betting underdog, Eric Molina (23-2).

On paper, the contest looks like a dastardly mismatch. In one corner you have Wilder, a lean, powerful, an athletic 6´7 Olympic Medalist with 18 of his 32 knockouts arriving before the end of the first round. Opposite him, with Molina, you have a journeyman heavyweight, whose 2 losses have both come from first round knockouts, and his most recent calibre of opposition is against the likes of Rafael Zumbano Love and Theo Kruger. Already, this looks pretty ominous for `Drummer Boy´ Molina.
