There wasn’t a ton for highlights on tonight’s Wilder-Breazeale show when it comes to quantity, but quality? Another story.
Any time you get a knockout like Deontay Wilder scored against Dominic Breazeale in tonight’s Showtime main event, you’ve got some quality highlight material.
Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KO) flattened his mandatory challenger with a single right hand in the frst round, dropping Breazeale to 20-2 (18 KO) with the vicious knockout.
Here’s a look at that KO, plus highlights from Gary Russell Jr’s win over Kiko Martinez, a pair of draws (Juan Heraldez-Argenis Mendez and Robert Alfonso-Iago Kiladze), and two showcase outings for 140-pound prospects and former Olympians Gary Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins, who were the stars of the prelim portion of the show.
