When Bermane Stiverne faces Deontay Wilder next Saturday I honestly have no idea who is going to win the fight.
What I do know is that both fighters have very good power (Wilder has more), both fighters are relatively untested (Wilder even more so), 
and both fighters have a few potentially fatal flaws (but I am not sure whose are most glaring).
The Stiverne Story
Bermane Sitverne (24-1-1 21 KO's) is the first Haitian-born heavyweight titlist in boxing history. But most importantly in his upcoming fight with Wilder is the fact the he is the more experienced boxer who has faced better competition (with two notable wins over Chris Arreola). Other than that however, his resume is littered with no-names and fringe contenders (e.g. Ray Austin).
The Wilder Story
To many, Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO's) is an enigma. His knockout ratio (100%) clearly grabs your attention, his decorated amateur credentials hold your attention and his 6'7" stature make you go "whoa." But like Stiverne, but even more so, his lack of competition sticks out like a sore thumb. His best wins include a collection of former contenders and John Does.
The Verdict
Both fighters have major questions. Stiverne isn't a spring chicken (36 years old), is giving up 5 inches in height to the towering Wilder, and hasn't defeated anyone significant outside of Chris Arreola.
Wilder has even more questions. He's knocked out all of his opponents. But it's a gift and a curse. The gift is the power. The curse is the lack of quality of his opponents.
This is a pick 'em fight. But I think Wilder will effectively use his substantial height (five inches) and reach (four inches) advantages to keep the shorter Stervine at bay before stopping him in less than six rounds.
