2. Wait for the Hands to Drop

The fun part about these two matching up is that Deontay Wilder’s weaknesses are Bermane Stiverne’s strengths.
My personal favorite is that Wilder has a tendency to drop his hands completely after a good flurry, while Stiverne is pretty good at counter punching.
It almost seems like the American is expecting every single one of his punches to knock his opponent out, so in his mind there’s no need to bring his hands directly back up because his challenger is already tasting the mat.
But what if after a fantastic flurry the other boxer is still standing and Wilder’s hands are by his pockets?
That should be the exact moment where Stiverne lets out the glass-shattering, ground-shaking punch he’s got. Of course, the first step to this plan is to survive the initial flurry that he’s going to have to endure through.
