Wilder vs Washington FULL FIGHT: February 25, 2017 | PBC on FOX

(Feb. 25, 2017) Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder overcame a slow start to defeat Gerald Washington by fifth-round TKO.
Deontay Wilder didn’t come out with his usual ferocity early on against Gerald Washington, but it didn’t take the champ long to end things once he got rolling.
Deontay Wilder and Gerald Washington
Deontay Wilder catches Gerald Washington with a left hook en route to gaining a fifth-round TKO in their heavyweight title fight in Birmingham, Alabama.
Fighting for the first time since surgery on his right hand and bicep last year, Wilder gained a fifth-round TKO of Washington to retain his heavyweight world title.
In the final round, Wilder caught Washington with a punishing lead right hand before knocking the former University of Southern California football player down with a left hook.
After Washington regained his feet, Wilder went back on the attack and blasted his opponent with a pair of left hooks amid a violent flurry that led referee Mike Griffin to stop the bout at the 1:45 mark of Round 5.
After breaking his hand and tearing his bicep during his TKO of Chris Arreola last July, and subsequently having surgery for both injuries, Wilder said he suffered no setbacks in beating Washington.
The 31-year-old Tuscaloosa, Alabama, native started slowly as he neglected his usually potent jab against Washington, who was surprisingly effective as the aggressor in the early rounds.
It wasn’t until the third round that Wilder began to pump his jab with any consistency as the crowd chanted “De-on-tay, De-on-tay” in support of the champ.
Wilder said that his team’s original strategy against Washington was to throw jabs and move since he was returning from injury, but that they abandoned that plan in the dressing room right before the fight.
Instead, he patiently laid in wait for Washington to provide an opening, which the champ eventually found.
In the fourth, Washington caught Wilder with a solid left that seemed to wake up the champ, who delivered a thundering left-right combination to the body of the former Navy helicopter mechanic late in the round.
The fighters were deadlocked on two of the judges’ scorecards through four rounds, while Wilder held a slim lead on the other. Afterward, the champ said he wasn’t concerned about his slow start against the 34-year-old Vallejo, California, resident.
After defending his world title for the fifth time, Wilder saluted the crowd of 12,346 as “Sweet Home Alabama” blared from the arena’s speakers with many fans adding “Roll Tide Roll!” to the chorus.
Wilder was originally supposed to defend his championship against Andrzej Wawrzyk, but the Polish contender tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in mid-January, which gave Washington his shot at the title.
Fellow heavyweight champion Joseph Parker was seated ringside for the fight, and Wilder expressed his desire to face the New Zealand native next in his quest to unify the division’s four major titles.

I miss this Deontay Wilder he was my favorite fighter to watch. Probably the most powerful puncher in boxing

[@lewisjaygomes1617]

Not really bro. U can’t say hes the most powerful puncher. U can say he has the most powerful straight right but ONLY the straight right. A powerful puncher got it in both hands and with all his punches not just one. My opinion.

Exactly, and no one talks about how tyson got knocked out cold and got dropped 4 times in each fight, Tyson fury is one of the best heavyweights in boxing but Deontay will always be King with his record stats specifically show Deontay has a 95-97%ish KO percentage, Mike Tyson 85%, like be serious if Wilder trained longer and Tyson didn't dip his hands in petrol oil to get them toughened up he would've lost, these aren't excuses these are jus facts

Tyson fury said he is the 2nd best

[@BC-pl3df]

Despite showing some defensive flaws that Sugar Hill picked up on, this is how Wilder should fight in general. Let the other fighter open themselves up if they want to win. That would be enough for him to beat everyone up to Tyson Fury or Usyk, which flips the dynamic where Wilder is the one who'd have to open up first because he won't get any benefit of the doubt in close rounds by the judges for his boxing so he needs to hurt those two fighters to win rounds. In this fight he did not have to worry about that as he wouldn't with most heavyweights.

[@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55]

Some do it well. Fury is a good body puncher, dropped Wilder with one. Andy Ruiz too, he was hitting AJ with good body shots in their first fight. Dillian Whyte is a good body puncher too. But yeah, many heavyweights seem to not throw them. One of the main reasons is often one punch changes a fight at heavyweight and it’s easier to counter over the top of a body shot than head shot, because they risk being countered
