If you\u2019ve been reading this, my Kap\u2019s Smoke Ring column for awhile, and why wouldn\u2019t you be? — this \u2018un will be a blatant tick even two ticks different. Don\u2019t you fret, I\u2019m enjoying a fine cigar as ever; I\u2019ll simply herein be covering a single topic instead\u2019a my typical plethora. Why? Because I was given full creative control by the Right and Honorable Mr. \u201cBad\u201d Brad Berkwitt of this here, his Ringside Report. Late last night, my creativity doth ran-dry. I\u2019m quite proud it took a full eight volumes to do-so. Nevertheless, I emailed sir and he replied with the prompt of Wilder-Stiverne II. Preview and prediction. So, gentlepersons, lettuce up-on our task awa-aaa-y we go\u2026<\/p>\n

Deontay \u201cThe Bronze Bomber\u201d aka \u201cWindmill\u201d Wilder, 38-0, 37 KO\u2019s will this Saturday defend his WBC World Heavyweight crown \u2018gainst from whom he wrest it, Bermane \u201cB.Ware\u201d Stiverne, 25-2-1, 21 KO\u2019s. Interestingly, and something we shall later and briefly delve-into, is that BoxRec lists B.Ware as currently N.Active. Residing in Lost Wages via Haiti, the 6\u20192 38 year-old last fought in 2015 versus the 30-10 Derric Rossey to a unanimous-decision victory. Prior to that was his Wilder loss via another UD and prior-prior was a 2014 stoppage win over Chris \u201cDon\u2019t Call Me The Nipple\u201d Arreola. <\/p>\n

D.Wilder, 32 years-old and standing five-inches above-he has a latest three as follows: wins over Gerald Washington, C.Arreola, and Artur Szpilka — two of three a who\u2019s who of who??? to many an ear making the bread, surrounding meat served a bit past its prime.<\/p>\n

Why is this happening? Blame Luis Ortiz and his high blood-pressure diabetes treatment which also acts as a masking agent for \u2018roids and such cheatery. Stiverne is merely a replacement. A luke-warm body. \u201cHe look-warm,\u201d is an old Yiddish punch-line, and an apt \u2018nuff one here. We now have an abridged why, let\u2019s soldier on to what — as in what happened when they first fought.<\/p>\n

Wilder punched through and around Stiverne\u2019s guard, seemingly at will. The now champ too showed that he was susceptible to a counter left-hook. It went to the cards, as we know. Twixt opening and final bells, something I noticed was a bit more Wilder refrain than he\u2019s more recently shown, insofar as not going utterly windmill. That won\u2019t be the case this go-\u2019round.<\/p>\n

Stiverne will enter rusty and I dare-predict cold. Dry. Transversely, Wilder will enter heatedly. He\u2019ll feel slighted at the missed opportunity of proving himself over L.Ortiz. He\u2019ll be oblivious as to the fact he hath been ridiculously protected. It shant go to the cards\u2026 not by a long-shot. My prediction for Saturday? \u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll regret whatever I ate on Friday during my Sabbath cheat-meal. Officially and precisely: two dozen moans and half a dozen Alka-Seltzer packets. But you probably thought I meant the fight. Deontay Wilder \u201cThan Thou\u201d in the early mid-rounds. He\u2019ll hurt him bad in the fourth-frame after realizing that counter-hook ain\u2019t there. Stiverne may make it to the fifth. It will be one heckuva thud.<\/p>\n

Next for Wilder it seems will be a Dillian Whyte bout put to-gether by one Mr. Eddie Hearn. So, if anyone needs to catch up on some sleep — look forward to that. D.Whyte\u2019s recent bout with Robert Helenius is currently facing a law-suit levied by Ambien for gimmick infringement. Oh, look. My cigar done burnt all the way down.<\/p>\n

Until next week, gentlepersons — keep yer chin tucked and BOO. Have a safe Halloween.<\/p>\n

BOO!!!<\/p>\n

Did I get ya that time?<\/p>\n
