- (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
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.
@@lewisjaygomes1617 He literally is the hardest puncher in the history of the sport of boxing this isn’t an opinionated topic
He’s still the same but he just couldn’t do the same shit on fury😏
@@boxingforlife8770 he knocked out fury in their first fight when he got a 20 second count
@@coreyjohnson7777 "20 second count" 😅
Wilder is hilarious I love it when he swings wilder He’s such a cool fighter he needs to fight atleast 2 or 3 more times then retire
Yea hes a brawler not really a boxer
@@dxpotv8327 Not Just A Brawler, But Also A Knockout Artist In Heavyweight Boxing🥊History.
@@tyreepowell8367 weak class. Would have got smached in 70s, 80s
@@817fredo3 well this ain’t 80’s
Biggest overachiever in the heavyweight division imo. Dude is garbage on a technical level, like hilariously bad, and it just doesn't matter...at least usually....
He was and still is fascinating. So flawed, so limited, and he still has like a 90% chance of knocking ANYBODY out. His shortcomings make him interesting. He's different.
he has tons of fans over here in the uk, what a champion devistating power, massive heart to win, a legend
They need to post Wilder vs Molina!! I never got a chance to see that fight in full
I almost forgot that Wilder and Washington fought but fortunately it was posted by PBC😅 so I really enjoyed the fight even though it was a bit lacking in action, but the brains were used by the two fighters before they unleashed the punches. Great Fight🥊🥊
!
Its a shame, washington looked so strong he went on to lose 4 out of 6 of his next 6 fights after wilder, his record is now 20-5-1 he was 18-0-1 during this fight, I don't know what happened, I hope he makes a come back.
Love the unorthodox style, really fun to watch
Deontay should stay in the game and not let the losses against Fury discourage him.
I don’t think the loss is discouraged him. Maybe it’s just he doesn’t like the landscape of boxing as a collective
@@GhostDogBlackTR5 how so?
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu
The same way you feel as if theories wins over him discourage him
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu
And I also based off of what his closest friends say. He has done a few interviews after the fury fight. According to him and his friends he’s not even thinking about boxing and he’s just good on how the landscape of boxing. This is what he has mentioned. But who really knows the mind of a another individual right?
@@GhostDogBlackTR5 I was asking what you mean when you say that he doesn't like the landscape of Boxing.
17:48 that's a very Saddler esque left hook to the body! Washington felt that!
Those rights Wilder throws are haymakers. Even though he knows he won't hit with most of them it's strategic of him to keep throwing them. So cool.
Wilder..His KO punch is like his occasional right handed jab.
The guy is a beast
Wilder is the truth and people are just hating on him!
Congratulations king they still sleeping on you but keep elevating king
amazing
It crazy how wilder lost to one person and people forget how he was once the baddest man in the planet
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
He still is bruh...
@@tjgokrazy Please don't ever compare Tyson and wilder again, stats don't prove everything. Mike Tyson had a very turbulent career, and they are two completely different fighters. You wilder fans are delusional and it's hilarious 🤣 Mike Tyson was facing a completely different calibre of fighters anyway, if you're gonna compare atleast think to yourself "could wilder survive 12 rounds against those same fighters"
Wilder's record sucks before he fought Fury,and I think Fury is the only A--side opposite he's fought,the rest are tomato cans
@@tjgokrazyI Heard Fury Cheating
Wilder is an amazing finisher fury build was just benefiting him against wilder
In the 4th round Virgil said wilder needed to go for the knockout 😂😂😂 he had zero faith in him smh
He’s an idiot saying that. Brian Kenny was like oh really?
Heavyweight Boxing is Best 👊
ほんまそれ
Good fight
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.
Washington was doing well moving to his right away from wilders big right , he makes one mistake moves to the left and 💥
The 2nd best heavyweight in the world.
Wilder still Can defeat AJ
@@bgforeman4474 Absolutely
Maybe 4th
@@bgforeman4474 AJ on paper has 10x the tools and technical ability that Wilder does, and I would stil put money on Wilder to beat him.
Tyson fury said he is the 2nd best
They both looked good till the end.
Box box BOOM box box box BOOM 💥 makes sense to me. BOOM no just kidding box box 💥💥💥💥💥
He is the killer. Wilders no 1 in My heart in this arena.
Watch 21:40 and then on. That ref really did Washington a big favor. Much respect for doing so well thoughtout the fight before that sledge hammer ⚒️ right hand.
Half of that area is full
Like windmill
"I'm ready for Joseph Parker."
YOUR THUMBNAIL IS AN ILLEGAL PUNCH 😆
He’s punching him on the side of the head, that’s not illegal.
@@Neek_Santiago hes not hitting with the knuckles*. He's hitting with inside of his glove
Things could come full circle. If Joseph Parker beats the Juggernaut then Wilder can fight him for the vacant WBC belt if Tyson fury stays retired.
Well…
Bodyshots are so missing at this weight class
I think it’s because they would use up too much energy trying to bend down at that size
No shortage on windmills. Wilder can power the whole state of Alabama with those windmills.
@H1GHD3FF I think its because they really want to ko each other.
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
Early stoppage.
Please give us wilder vs the winner of aj v usyk
That man smell blood it be ova 😂
they need to put up wilder v somebody, his ko list is a real who's that of boxing
Boxing doesn't deserve Wilder for how they treated him
Wilder doesn’t deserve boxing for how he treated himself. Left the undisputed fight with AJ (for all the money and all the belts) to go fight the retired Fury. Everything went downhill from there.
@@DJBuchi_ you've got a point
To be fair, dude completely lost his mind. He went waaaaaay off the deep end after that 2nd Fury fight. Totally lost his shit.
@@DJBuchi_ AJ is a bum please lol lost to Ruiz and usyk twice….at least wilder fought fury 3times
@@tap12892 If you think Usyk not top tier then you're a casual. The fact Wilder got Knocked out by Tyson Fury who not even known for elite power is very telling.
When wilder forgot how-to set up his right...man literally stopped throwing the jab at this point of his career
They said not sure if wilder is ready for that kind of jab at this stage in his career...... What???? 40th fight or something like that
KİNG BOMSQUAD VİLDER 🥊
Until he met Fury who got furious
Fury was just bigger than him

Слава Богу! Здравствуйте! Война нервов, 5ть раундов! Пока Уайлдер, не попал, кроссом! Спасибо!
NO EXCUSE , BUT , THE REFEREE GOT IN THE WAY BEFORE HE SHOULD HAD .
who would think that there is a man that will kick his ass 3 times in a roud
🎵 I'm Gonna Have A Little Talk With Jesus 🎵
I wish Wilder would have put that chit, on Fury about 10 TIMES EACH FIGHT>POWER LIKE TANK DAVIS
Oh sorry, Wylder boxing fan. 💥
Why referee stopped the game with 2 knock down instead of three?😐
Cuz he was done 😂
WOW, what happened to his belief. His love for Christ. I didn't know he uttered those words.
Wilder vs Sanchez next 👊
He should fight the loser of the Joshua Usyk fight or fight Andy ruiz or give Joe Joyce a run for his money

@Young Revell true
Let’s see you beat him…

Who else still consider Wilder undefeated?
Bro what, he got his ass beat 3 times😭

Denial wont make your father love you.
The last good fight for wilder 🤷🏽♂️
@Young Revell with Ortiz and breazeale were boring fights and against fury he lost all three 🤦🏽♂️
@@FranciscoHernandez-hp6kjStop trying to save face. You're wrong.
Uk nothing bout boxing lmao he hospitalized spzulka and destroyed brezeale and stiverne in one round and and ko’d Ortiz twice and first fury fight was a draw n the trilogy despite the lose was fight of the year
Oh and u remember when Tyson got obliterated back in 2014-2015 ish🤣😂
@@YungBZ yeh and Chisora KO’d spilzka even quicker than Wilder did Lol and Oldtiz is 60 years old beuh
Literally how Joshua could have beaten usyk…..
Tyson Fury ended that career.
It ain’t over till the fat lady sings anything can happen in boxing
El negro?
First
Worst
Fight was hella boring lol
Wilder future is lost
What do you based off of?
THINK ABOUT IT, why is a CHAMPION fighting in a arena with empty seats? 🤔
Wilder wasn't that much of a draw at the time
@@almightyweebu2581 Wilder is not a draw PERIOD
Because people are very dumb
@Young Revell oh boy 🤦♂️ making up stuff doesn’t make your comment any credible 😑 U.K. heavyweights are well known, well marketable and better than Wilder, Whyte had sold out the O2 more than 3 times, AJ sold out STADIUMS!!!! STADIUMS!!!! something Wilder in a million years can never do which proves on this video of him not selling out a SIMPLE ARENA in a CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT!!!! ON HIS 38TH FIGHT!!!!!!! TFFFFFFFFFFF
@@thebrutalbritishgentleman Americans don't watch boxing like the British do. You don't even see Terence Crawford or Errol Spence selling out arenas.
Deontay fans now they only have to remember the past to enjoy 😉 🙄 😒 😏 😜 🤣
2 losses to the best heavyweight in the sport isn’t exactly the end of the world, everyone doesn’t retire undefeated.

Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries...
What a snoozefest. Heavyweight boxing hasn't been interesting since the Tyson days.
How? there was a ko. stfu
Hahaha wilder swinging bump
