UNSA: SHOWTIME Sports correspondent Brendan Schaub sits down with undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder for an intimate conversation on the pressures of being a world champion in boxing’s highest profiled division.

 

Wilder faces former heavyweight champion Gold Cup sa Showtime kampyonato sa boxing nga® diha sa usa ka Nobyembre 4 rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions event LIVE on Showtime (9 sa gabii. UG/6 sa gabii. PT) gikan sa Barclays Center, sa balay sa Brooklyn Boxing ™.

 

“Even when people see me out and posting [on social media], it doesn’t mean I’m resting,” Wilder told Schaub. “I’m just taking a little bit of time off and relaxing my mind. In this sport there are a lot of things that I want to do, and things that have to be done. I want to be the savior of heavyweight boxing.”

 

Schaub asked Wilder as the only American heavyweight champion, why he hasn’t received the notoriety yet that he deserves in the U.S. “I don’t get it either,” Wilder said. “It’s mind boggling to see Americans support others before they support their own.”

 

siya midugang: “I like to joke around. I like to laugh. I like to get corny sometimes. I like to get silly. Ikaw nahibalo, I just like to live life … I’m neutral when it comes to a lot of things. I’m an open-minded person. So whether it’s religion or whether it’s race or whether it’s sexuality; I’m not the person to judge. It’s not my place because if I judge you, then God is going to judge me the same way.”

BROOKLYN (Oct. 14, 2017) – Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder and Welterweight World Champions Keith Thurman and Errol Spence Jr. met with the media on Saturday at Barclays Center to discuss their upcoming bouts and expected 2018 campaigns.
Wilder will defend his WBC belt on Nov. 4 against mandatory challenger Bermane Stiverne live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in a Premier Boxing Champions event. Thurman announced he expects to return in early 2018 in his first bout since unifying the division and subsequent surgery.
In news on Saturday, IBF Welterweight Champion Spence announced that he will make the first defense of his belt against former world champion Lamont Peterson in January 2018 on SHOWTIME on a date and site to be determined.
Below are flash quotes from the three fighters:
Deontay Wilder
What other heavyweight is doing what I do? What other heavyweight has power like me? I don’t have to put you out in punches in bunches. I don’t have to do that. One punch. Goodnight.
I’m happy that I’ve had time to calm down and think about things. I’m happy that I’m fighting Stiverne because he’s my mandatory. I can finally get him out the way so I’ll be a free man.
This is the story of my life. Every situation that I’m put in, I try to be optimistic about. It’s easy to appreciate the good. But when the bad comes, some people don’t know how to manage that.
I’m the most frustrated guy around. Dili ako makasabut sa. The best are supposed to fight the best, sa tuo? I’ve always done that. I called (Wladimir) Klitschko out years ago.
People make so many excuses for my career. The one who is actually trying to make a legacy out of their career, he’s the only one that’s not complaining. The people who don’t have to get in the ring and endure this suffering are the ones that complaining.
Keith Thurman
I’m in the bounce-back stage. It won’t be long before I get back into the ring and hopefully my arm will be better than ever. We’re estimating I’ll be ready for a fight the first quarter of next year.
I look forward to continuing my legacy and dominating the welterweight division.
Everything happens for a reason. I’m 28-years-old and it doesn’t feel good to not be an active fighter while you’re in your prime.
I don’t think that I will take that level of a fight [against Shawn Porter] coming off my injury. I think we’re going to just get a welcome back fight. Throw the arm around, test it out, have an injury-free camp, take the momentum from that and we can possibly get in the ring with Shawn after that.
I look forward to that [potential] fight against Errol. I look forward to great competition and Errol is that. This is a fight that you guys have been talking about, you won’t stop talking about, and you should keep talking about it because when it goes down it will be one of the best fights of this generation.
Everybody knows there’s no Floyd Mayweather. There’s no Manny Pacquiao. Everybody thinks they know who the real champion is. But real talk is that the king of the welterweight division will manifest within one to two years.
“[Terence] Crawford has whacked up a lot of people, but he hasn’t whacked up a welterweight yet. He still needs to make himself relevant in this division. He’s a 140 dili malalis nga champion. He can come up to this weight division and fight anybody in the top 10 and he deserves that. But we are so flooded with talent he is going to have to make himself relevant at 147 before he gets his hands on us.
Errol Spence Jr.
“Malipayon ko nga dinhi, it’s been awhile. It’s finally time to defend my title, capture more titles and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. That’s what I’m ready to do next year.
“[Peterson] is somebody that I looked up to as an amateur. I sparred with him as an amateur and learned a lot from him. He’s one of my favorite fighters and is a guy that will fight anybody. I’ve never known him to duck a fight.
Lamont is a tricky fighter. He’s been around the block. He does a lot of cagey, veteran things. I’m looking to get experience in this fight. I’m still a young fighter.
Since I was 5-0, I’ve said I’d fight Keith Thurman or anybody in the top 5. He’s got to go through rehab, but I’m ready when he is. I’m always ready to fight the best.

Deontay wants to fix that and Stiverne is looking to throw a wrench into Wilder’s dream of heavyweight unification.
Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) dethroned defending champion Stiverne in January 2015 via unanimous decision in what was the promising challenger’s toughest fight to date. Uban sa kadaugan, Wilder became the first American heavyweight champion in nearly a decade and he has gone on to defend the title five times.

Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs), who lives in Eastvale, California, is coming off a KO victory over Izu Ugonoh on Feb. 25. The 32-year-old Breazeale suffered the only loss of career in a heavyweight championship match against Anthony Joshua in London on June 25, 2016.
Eric Molina (26-4, 19 KOs) has twice fought for the heavyweight world championship. In his first title shot the 35-year-old from Weslaco, Texas was knocked out by Deontay Wilder on June 13, 2015. Molina lost via TKO to Anthony Joshua in his next opportunity on Dec. 10, 2016. Molina bounced back with a majority decision victory against Jamal Woods in his last fight on Pito ka. 2.

BROOKLYN (Oct. 5, 2017) – WBC heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder will defend his title against mandatory challenger Gold Cup sa Sabado, Nov. 4 live on SHOWTIME in a rematch of their 2015 world title fight. The event is presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Barclays Center, sa balay sa Brooklyn Boxing ™.
Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) dethroned defending champion Stiverne in January 2015 via unanimous decision in what was the promising challenger’s toughest fight to date. Uban sa kadaugan, Wilder became the first American heavyweight champion in nearly a decade and he has gone on to defend the title five times. Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs) remains the only Wilder opponent to go the distance with the hard-hitting Tuscaloosa, Ala., native who has knocked out every other professional opponent on his long resume.

Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Group diskwento anaa pinaagi sa pagtawag sa 844-BKLYN-GP.
The Nov. 4 main event will be the second heavyweight world championship bout to air live on SHOWTIME on back-to-back Saturdays. Sa Oct. 28 unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua will meet Kubrat Pulev for Joshua’s IBF and WBA world titles in the main event of a fight card from Cardiff, Wales.
After Wilder vs. Stiverne I, Stiverne was hospitalized at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for severe dehydration and muscle damage, which he claimed affected his performance in his first title defense. Stiverne bounced back with a win over Derric Rossy and has been advocating for a rematch since.
Stiverne asked for it, so he’s going to get it,” Wilder miingon. “Whatever happens happens. Ask and you shall receive. I’m relieved to be getting my mandatory out of the way. At least now I won’t have to deal with that down the road.
In the first fight, I broke my hand in the third round, and I still dominated. That was a lot of the reason why it went the distance. This time it’s a different day, different time and different fight. This time it won’t end well for him.
Despite all of these obstacles that are thrown in my path, it still will not stop me from reaching my ultimate goal, which is to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Stiverne replaces Luis Ortiz, who was pulled from the fight by the WBC sa Miyerkules after he failed a VADA anti-doping test.
Stiverne will pay for Luis Ortiz screwing up,” Wilder concluded.
Stiverne was in camp preparing to fight Dominic Breazeale in a heavyweight attraction on the Nov. 4 undercard. Now the Haitian-born Las Vegas resident gets a shot at winning back the heavyweight crown he first won with a knockout of Chris Arreola in 2014.
“Ako andam, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne Dirita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, apan dili niini nga panahon. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. Sa Nobyembre 4, Wilder will feel my pain.
After defeating Stiverne, Wilder went on to knockout each of his next five challengers including twice as the headliner on SHOWTIME. Wilder-Stiverne II will be the 10th heavyweight world championship fight to air live on SHOWTIME in the last two years as the heavyweight division continues its resurgence.
The show must go on, ingon nga sila nanag-ingon, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” miingon Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked Nov. 4 event. “Considering Stiverne’s status as mandatory challenger, he was always going to be a roadblock in Deontay’s quest for heavyweight unification. Now it’s time to see if Deontay can clear that roadblock and continue on his path to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion and the most recognizable and dominant force in boxing.

Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz on Nobyembre 4 is the best heavyweight championship fight that was makeable this year, and it will be supported by a tremendous action-packed undercard, televised on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING,” miingon Lou DiBella, Presidente sa DiBella Entertainment. “Shawn Porter versus Adrian Granados is an all-action, fan-pleasing fight that will once again have fans at Barclays Center cheering. Sergey Lipinets is a knockout artist and up-and-coming star, attempting to secure his first world title. Dugang pa, SHOWTIME will stream other undercard bouts, including what should be a competitive heavyweight title eliminator between top contenders Bermane Stiverne and Dominic Breazeale.
Adrian Granados is as tough as they come and while he may lack the name recognition of Porter, he should not be overlooked,” miingon si Tom Brown, Presidente sa TGB Promotions. “You look at his record and he has five losses, but those five losses are three split decisions and two majority decisions and the two draws that are split draws. This is another huge opportunity for him. Adrian feels he’s paid his dues and belongs in a fight of this magnitude.
The 10-round welterweight match against Granados will be Porter’s fourth fight at Barclays Center. Porter won the welterweight title in his debut at the arena with a unanimous decision over Devon Alexander on Dec. 7, 2013. He lost a narrow decision to unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate in Brooklyn, and scored a TKO victory against former welterweight champion Andre Berto in his last fight on Abril 22 in front of the Barclays Center faithful.
The 29-year-old Porter (27-2-1, 17 KOs), who was born in Akron, Ohio and now lives in Las Vegas, remains one of the top welterweights in the division and aims to secure another title shot with a strong performance against Granados.
To be fighting on an undercard for a Deontay Wilder fight is nothing short of excellent,” Miingon Porter. “I’m excited and looking forward to this opportunity. Against Granados I’m getting into the ring with someone who is very established as an amateur and a professional, has great skills and isn’t going to go in there and lay down. That’s always going to bring out the best in me, and that’s always going to create a very exciting match-up. I know that when I do what I’m planning to do, it’s going to be exciting, entertaining and fill the seats.
Adrian Granados (18-5-2, 12 KOs), sa Chicago, is accustomed to tough assignments and is known for delivering exciting toe-to-toe action. The 28-year-old has been in with Felix Diaz, losing a close majority decision in 2014, and then unbeaten Amir Imam, whom he defeated by TKO in 2015 when Imam was the top contender at 140-pounds. Granados went punch for punch with Adrien Broner in his last match, but came up just short, losing a split decision in Broner’s hometown of Cincinnati on Feb. 18.
I’m very excited to be fighting one of the best welterweights in the world in Shawn Porter,” said Granados. “With our styles it’s going to be fireworks from the opening bell. I was getting ready for a fight in October but when this opportunity arose I jumped at it. It’s a tremendous card to be fighting on with the whole world watching and I’m looking to
put on a great performance.
The 28-year-old Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KOs) is a former kickboxer from Russia who has been waiting nearly a year for his opportunity to fight for a world championship. Lipinets has only been the distance twice in his pro career and he earned his title shot with an eighth-round knockout of Lenny Zappavigna in a title eliminator last December. Sa iyang labing bag-o nga pagsugod, Lipinets stopped Clarence Booth via third-round TKO in March at Barclays Center.
I feel very privileged to be in the position to fight for this world title,” said Lipinets. “I will prepare to face the best possible fighter on that night and I promise that I will not disappoint. The lights will be bright but I have trained too hard not to leave the ring as a world champion.
Akihiro Kondo (29-6-1, 16 KOs) will be making his U.S. debut and fighting for a world championship for the first time when he meets Lipinets for the 140-pound title. The 32-year-old Kondo, of Kazo, Saitama, Japan, has won eight straight matches, including five by stoppage. This will be his third fight this year after he stopped Komsan Polsan in March and defeated Yuya Okazaki by TKO in May.
Former world champion Bermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs) is coming off a two-year absence from the ring. Stiverne, 38, became the first Haitian-born boxer to win the heavyweight title when he defeated Chris Arreola in May of 2014. He lost the title to Wilder by decision on January of 2015 sa Las Vegas. In his last fight Stiverne, who moved from Canada and now resides in Las Vegas, Név., defeated Derric Rossy via decision.
The 32-year-old Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) mao ang usa ka sakop sa 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team and won his first 17 pro fights before suffering the only loss of his career when he fell short vying for a title against now-unified champion Anthony Joshua in June of 2016. In his last match, the fighter from of Alhambra, Calif. scored a fifth-round TKO victory over Polish heavyweight contender Izu Ugonoh on Feb. 25 in a memorable slugfest.

PROMOTER DON KING HOPES WBC WILL DECLARE BERMANE STIVERNE WBC INTERIM HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP

 

LAS VEGAS (Dec. 17, 2016) – In the aftermath of Saturday’s news that the WBC Interim heavyweight title fight in Russia between former heavyweight champion Gold Cup and top-ranked Alexander Povetkin had been cancelled because Povetkin tested positive for drugs again, Hall of Fame promoter Don “Only In America” King offered a simple solution:

 

Declare his fighter, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs), sa Las Vegas, the interim champion.

 

“I’ve had a long-standing respect with the WBC, beginning with Jose Sulaiman and now with his son, Mauricio, who has done an incredible job filling his father’s shoes as WBC president and just got re-elected for four more years. I stand with them and with the WBC for trying to do things the right way and with their organization’s safety procedures in regard to the boxers and the sport.

 

“It’s sad but this guy, Povetkin, has become a total embarrassment. He’s now tested positive in two WBC heavyweight title fights in a row. I’m all for winning and losing fights in the ring, but it’s time for justice to prevail. I don’t know what’s going on over there with so many Russian athletes in so many sports testing positive for drugs, but it has to stop. They cannot be allowed to continue to do things the way they are.

 

“The WBC should declare Stiverne world champion, make him the mandatory for (WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay) Wilder, and let’s move on with it. There are a lot of great heavyweight fights that can be made with willing boxers who don’t break the rules every fight.

 

“I’m very disappointed for Bermane, who’s now gone through two training camps with nothing to show for it. Why put up all that money for travel and expenses and then have no fight. He was ready to beat Povetkin and regain a part of the WBC title.

 

“And then – worse yetfor them to try and put it on Bermane for not fighting is just ludicrous. They’re taking the victim and trying to set him up as the criminal in this.’’

 

Stiverne pulled out after the WBC withdrew its sanction because Poverkin tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman revealed the positive test by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) on Saturday morning. Unya, the WBC withdrew its recognition of the fight.

“There’s no reason to fight if the WBC won’t sanction the bout,” said Stiverne, who could have gone through with the bout but without the sanction opted not to. “I’m very disappointed in the actions of Povetkin. I’ve been training for months to be victorious.

“To wake up the day of the fight, have breakfast, take a nap and then find out he tested positive is the worst possible situation.”

This is the second time sa pito ka bulan Povetkin (30-1-0, 22 KOs) has tested positive for a banned substance. He tested positive for Meldonium ahead of a scheduled May bout with Wilder, cancelling that fight.

If it had transpired, the winner of the fight for the WBC interim heavyweight title would have become the mandatory challenger to Wilder. Stiverne lost the WBC title to Wilder on a 12-round decision on Jan. 15, 2015. He’s the only fighter to go the distance with Wilder.

Ang pagkahibalo sa champion kita sa Deontay nga tin-awng pagkasulti miingon nga siya sa pagkuha sa bisan kinsa, Ako mao ang pipila ka mga walay bisan unsa nga pagduha-duha siya mohatag sa usa ka rematch sa tinuod nga Bermane kay sa tawo nga adunay mga sa singsing, nga dili pagkuha sa kadaugan siya ug sa paagi sa iyang misidlak.

"Kita sa pagdayeg Deontay ug naglaum siya mahimong champion sa hataas na nga sa diin kita adunay usa ka rematch sa 'Pagbalik sa Himaya.'

"Sama sa atong dako nga militar, sa diha nga sila na nanuktok sa, sila og balik sa pag-usab. Bisan sa iyang grabe nga dehydration Bermane pa mitindog didto alang sa 12 rounds.

"Kita buot nga magpasalamat sa Richard Makita, Presidente sa MGM Grand kalingawan ug si Stephen Espinoza uban sa Showtime Boxing alang sa pagdula sa usa ka dakong bahin sa pagkuha niini nga programa sa tingub. Nga atong gidayeg sa atong sungkod, ug sa MGM staff alang sa pagbuhat sa usa ka dalayegon nga trabaho alang sa paghimo niini nga mahitabo. Ang espiritu sa Bumalik ka sa Himaya 'mao ang labawng. Kami adunay usa ka dako nga kard nga may Amir Imam sa pagpakig-away sa kagabhion, pagkuha nanuktok ug pagkuha balik. Ang tanan nga mga away sa mga talagsaong. Kini mao ang usa ka maayo nga gabii sa boxing alang sa mga fans ug nga mao ang unsa ang atong mahitungod gayud sa.

"Don House tin-awng pagkasulti gipahayag sa panglawas sa mga Bermane importante kaayo mao nga sa diha nga hingkaplagan ko sa didto siya sa ospital, Ako miadto sa pagpabilin sa adlaw didto uban kaniya tungod kay kasagaran kita lang ipadala sila ngadto sa ospital sa pag-na gitan-aw sa, apan sila mihukom sa paghupot kaniya.

"

"Gusto ko nga mangayo og pasaylo kay wala sa paghimo sa post-away press conference. Ikasubo nga ako dili makahimo sa pagbuhat sa sa pagpakig-away sama sa akong gusto tungod kini sa grabe nga dehydration ug kaunoran kadaot. Wala ako mahibalo nga kini nga bug-at nga hangtud nga sila miingon kanako. Ko nga ang namatay gikan niini. Ako malipayon nga lang nga ang akong kaugalingon, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, nga ang tinuod nga unsay importante nako nga mahimong himsog karon.

"Ako wala mahibalo sa kagrabe sa niini Sabado sa gabii. Ako nakahimo sa paghatag sa katawhan sa usa ka maayo nga show, 12 rounds sa boxing. Kon ako sa pagbuhat niini pag-usab buhaton ko kini pag-usab. Kini dili mao ang katapusan alang kanako. Ihatag ko kini nga usa ka magtiayon nga semana ug dayon og balik sa trabaho. Ako adunay usa ka panan-awon alang niining, apan karon kini lang sa hunong. Kini lang sa usa ka butang sa panahon sa wala pa ko og balik sa akong mga tiil, ug sa paglakaw pag-usab. Sa diha nga kini moabut ngadto sa akong panglawas, Ako na gikan sa ospital. Sila dili motugot kanako nga mobiya hangtud nga ako igo nga hydrated. Mapasalamaton ako. Salamat sa akong promoter ug trainer, tanan nga abi-abi kanako.

"Ngadto sa akong mga fans, Ako pasaylo kay wala nga makahimo sa pagbuhat sa sama Bermane kasagaran nga ang. Nasayud ko nga ang mga tawo nga tinuod nga nakaila kanako, kon sa unsang paagi nga ako makig-away. Ang akong katapusang away uban sa Chris Arreola, Gihatag ko ikaw nga usa ka maayo nga show. Kini mao ang unfortunate nga ako dili makahimo kon unsay akong gusto nga buhaton uban sa akong away uban sa Deontay Wilder. Gusto ko nga sa pagpahalipay kaniya, siya nakig-away sa usa ka maayo nga away. Unta dapit sa umaabot nga kita magkita pag-usab.

"Salamat sa tanan alang sa pag-anhi ngadto sa press conference, Ako sa pagbalik sa akong mga tiil 100 porsyento karon. Ako lang kinahanglan sa usa ka magtiayon nga sa mga semana o sa usa ka bulan sa pagpahulay aron mobalik diin ako gibiyaan. "

DON BALAY, Stiverne ni Trainer

"Salamat guys alang sa pag-anhi sa. Ang labing importante nga butang mao nga Bermane mao OK. Kana mao ang akong mga nag-unang kabalaka. Ako nakamatikod dapit sa away, tingali sa palibot sa ikatulo o ikaupat nga round, usa ka butang nga dili husto. Bisan tuod siya miingon kanako nga siya OK, kita sa tanan nga mahibalo Bermane. Ako dili hunahuna nawad-an sa usa ka away, apan ako nasayud nga usa ka butang nga dili matarung, mao nga ako sa kaayo nabalaka. Around sa ikasiyam o 10th round ako naghunahuna sa paghunong sa away tungod kay wala kamo makabaton sa pagpadayon sa, apan gusto niya nga sa pagbantay sa away.

"Ikaw wala makakita Bermane, imong nakita tingali 10-15 porsyento sa Bermane. Ako nagtuo gayod ug sa tinuod nga gibati kini kinahanglan nga usa ka desente nga away alang sa Bermane, apan molungtad sa upat ka rounds o dili kaayo tungod kay ang iyang gahum ug sa tibook nga pagsingkamot. Kita wala gayud nagkamenos kaniya. Kami gibansay sa ingon nga kon siya nakig-away King Kong. Ako sa pagbansay sa sa matag fighter nga sama niana, mibaliwala walay usa. Apan Sabadosa gabii, kita adunay mga 15 porsyento sa Bermane.

"Kita motan-aw balik, tan-awa ang unsa ang atong gibuhat sa sayop, sa unsa nga paagi kita makahimo sa pagbuhat sa mga butang nga mas maayo, unsa unta ang atong nabuhat. Kita pagkuha sa usa ka pagtan-aw kon sa unsang paagi nga ang dehydration tingali nahitabo. Kita pagkuha sa usa ka pagtan-aw sa away ug sa pipila sa mga butang nga atong gibuhat diha sa pagbansay ug sa pagpangita sa unsay atong gibuhat sa sayop. "

“Ako lang excited ug malipayon sa pagdala niini nga bakus balik sa Amerika,” Wilder miingon. “Kini ni-adto sa kahulogan sa usa ka daghan. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 rounds. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.

 

Ulohan ngadto sa unang heavyweight championship away sa MGM Grand sukad sa nakuhaan sa dungog Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield igdulungog mopaak sa 1997, adunay mga pangutana gikan sa boxing insiders kon Wilder, nga wala pa tinuod nga gisulayan, makagamit sa gahum sa usa ka tinuod nga heavyweight ug katapusan sa mga rounds. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, Landing mas doble pa kaysa sa kinatibuk-ang kinumo ug sa paglabay 420 jabs sa Stiverne ni 139.

 

When I saw he could take a great punch we knew we were in for the long run. Twelve rounds is nothing. I want to bring excitement back to the heavyweight division. Whoever is ready, Ako andam.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KOs) nakahimo sa nagsulosapinday Wilder uban sa pipila ka mga buto, but he did not throw enough jabs or cut off the ring effectively. Wilder was allowed to circle the ring and pop his jab at will. Stiverne landed just 39 jabs itandi sa Wilder ni 120.

 

“Kini dili akong gabii,” Stiverne Dirita. “Ang akong gibati 100 porsyento sa atubangan sa away apan sa higayon nga ko sa singsing nga akong dili putlon ang mga singsing, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. Unsa ang ako moingon? Congrats to him.

 

I knew I was trying to throw combos of four or five punches and I could only throw two of them. I just felt like I was flat in the ring. What I know I could do I didn’t do. I just have to go back and learn from my mistakes and find out what happened tonight.
