what did he say the mistakes were?
Man, he was in Stiverenes face b, finger poking chest, telling him about the fight. He said Stiverene coulda won the first fight if he kept backing up Wilder. Said Wilder wasn't responding to the punches from Stiverene well (which I wholeheartedly agreed with ever since I saw that fight) and has no technique/craft. He said Stiverene needs to get inside Wilders long arms and not let Wilder walk him down.
He also implored Stiverene to keep pressuring Wilder and get that rematch asap. Said he doesn't respect the way Wilder has been acting as champ. Said he hasn't been training as hard, obviously recently got caught with weed in the whip and arrested for it, said he's too full of himself and it's now that Stiverene has to get him. Also told Stiverene to keep his weight down and told both him and his trainer to call him when it's camp time
That's so sick. But what'd he SHOW you? I'm eager to know. Did it have you change your stance at all? Although based on the Krusher hat i doubt it
His stance was pretty much that Ward has to take away Kovalev's jab by stepping to the side of it or swatting the jab down with his right (I call it parrying) so that he can pivot swing to the inside with a left counter hook. He also said Ward gotta get inside and not be on the outside of Kovalev's offense.
He was very real. Said he's here to support Ward cuz he's American. When I asked him who does his heart tell him will win, he said it tells him nothing. He said that Ward can win IF he can take away the jab and right hand. But real talk, to me it seemed that although he his pro Ward, he's not completely convinced Ward will or can execute. And I agree. Ward has tools to win most definitely, as does Kovalev. Whoever imposes their will on the other and doesn't wilt at the resistance that comes from that will be victorious.
