If their first fight was frustratingly close, the rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury was an ass-whoopin’ of the highest order.
You probably thought that meant Wilder was the one who used his vaunted power to crush Fury until he could take no more, right? Wrong. It was “The Gypsy King” who reigned supreme in front of a pro-Fury crowd in Las Vegas. “The Bronze Bomber” got bombed out of the ring by a bigger and more skilled fighter. Fury quite likely became boxing’s #1 superstar with a seventh-round stoppage that was called off by Kenny Bayless before Wilder’s corner could even stop it themselves.
