Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker Yesterday night was a show of wonder in the history of boxing as an elephant fell before the soldier-ant, seeing Deontay Wilder being defeated outrightly by Joseph Parker.
Yesterday, "Dr Sleep" as Wilder was echoed into the ring, "Prof. Waker" the possible title that befits Parker after winning the match put an end to Wilder's reign.
Retelling a strong review of the Wilder vs Parker fight, BBC writes:
Deontay Wilder entered the ring wearing a crown, but it has been almost four years since he reigned over the heavyweight division.
The 38-year-old was introduced with his newly acclaimed nickname 'Dr. Sleep'. After some cagey opening rounds, he may have put the crowd to sleep rather than his opponent.
The inactive Wilder had boxed just three minutes in the past two years, signs of ring rust were expected. But losing rounds is nothing new to Wilder. Numerous times before he has looked out of his depth, only to unleash that ferocious right hand.
Parker, 31, grew in confidence and traded with Wilder in the fourth, whipping a left hook into the body and hurting Wilder with an exchange on the inside.
Was the ghost of the Tyson Fury trilogy, when Wilder drew one and lost two, haunting him? His timing and judgment of distance were off.
Parker came forward with bursts. In between rounds Parker's trainer, Andy Lee, told his fighter to go after Wilder, that a knockout would come. "This is your moment," Lee said.
Wilder enjoyed his best moment in the sixth, landing a right but without the ferocity that has stopped 42 opponents in 43 wins.
Former WBO champion Parker was the busier, more accurate boxer, comfortably winning most rounds.
Wilder had no answer for what was to come in the eighth. Parker landed the most thunderous overhand right. Wilder, backed into the ropes, was in trouble as Parker continued the attack.
Saved by the bell, Wilder poked his tongue out as he stumbled back to his corner. All the while Joshua was getting his hands wrapped and going through warm-ups in the dressing room, unaware of what was unfolding in the ring.
Wilder was telegraphing his right hand as Parker continued to land more cleanly as the fight entered the championship rounds.
New Zealand's Parker was on a run of three straight wins and two knockouts. He was demonstrating just why many pundits tipped him for the win.
For all Parker's dominance, there was still a puncher's chance for Wilder. He threw the kitchen sink in the 12th but missed by an absolute mile.
Wilder refused to rule out retirement, but with just one win in four years, his next move is uncertain.
With Joshua moments from making his ring entrance, his promoter Eddie Hearn told TNT: "It was the most one-sided heavyweight fight I've ever seen. It's ruined our plans. We've got to go let Anthony Joshua know Wilder lost to Parker."
