Well, that looks like his old self - going for the kill like a fox on a chicken.
Deontay Wilder's performance against Gerald Washington (
former football player) was confusing.
I like Gerald Washington, but he is stiff and awkward, looks like a target not a fighter despite his impressive physical build - he just doesn't move like a boxer. To my eyes Washington had been fighting some over the hill fighters, or guys so out of shape I'm surprised they passed the physical.
The fact there was a Wilder V Washington fight dumbfound me, but Washington was winning all the rounds, right up to the point when Wilder knocked him out. Wilder then danced about the ring shouting at the crowd that had turned on him "I told you so" - in ugly indignation, throwing his fists.
I guess Wilder didn't want people turning on him like that again.

You can skip to the 15:00 mark to watch a minute of lackluster boxing followed by a KO, and then the "I told you so" taunt to the crowd.
