WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) didn’t have the most impressive of showings in last Saturday’s PBC on FOX main event against late-notice replacement Gerald Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs), but he did defend his belt with a fifth-round TKO against the former USC football player. These final two punches were something to behold as far as an elite heavyweight’s technical skills.
