Heavyweight Showdown
Tonight’s Co-Main Event at the Day of Reckoning between former WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 Kos) and former WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker (34-3, 23 Kos) shook the Heavyweight Division up with the surprising outcome of this bout. Real Talk!
The “Bronze Bomber” seemed to have run out of detonating ammunition with the inferior performance he brought in on the night. Wilder talked hella sh*t to the buildup of the bout but dropped blanks inside that squared circle.
The fans in attendance couldn’t believe what was happening. Parker was surprisingly the aggressor, controlling every inch of the ring annd applying controlled pressure backing up the heaviest puncher in the Heavyweight Division with absolutely no resistance coming his way.
I’m not sure if the lack of inactivity had finally caught up with Wilder but this version of him looked shot and not well prepared for an active and determined warrior of the likes of Parker.
Parker followed the “game plan” to a “T” and put a good beating on Deontay backing everything he said he would do. Aside from not dropping Deontay inside the allocated 36 minutes, this one-sided beatdown made it easy for the three Judges who scored it 120-107, 118-111, 118-110 unanimously for Parker. Impressive!
While everyone labeled Parker an easy mark for Deontay, Joseph went out there and proved all the naysayers wrong by disabling the “Bronze Bomber” of his well-known ammunition.
This was by far the best win of your career to date. Well done, Joseph, you are steadily climbing your way back to the mountain top of the Heavyweight Division.
