Furious Tyson Fury gives Deontay Wilder a licking WilderFury2
It was as one-sided as their first fight was close. In that December 2018 bout at Staples Center, Wilder knocked down Fury twice, including a 12th-round combination that put the”Gypsy King” down hard. But Fury recovered and earned a draw.
Washington struck first, landing a straight right, seconds after the opening bell. But the left-hander Martin responded quickly, countering with hands as quick as they are heavy. He backed Washington into the ropes with a succession of shot that might have been an early warning of what was to come. In the sixth, Martin simply threw another left, this time over the stationary jab. It landed like a bomb, exploding at impact into the face of Washington. Boom, Washington went down like a concrete block. There was no getting up. Referee Tony Weeks ended it at 1:57 of the sixth.In the second bout on the pay-per-view card, a victorious Emanuel Navarrete quickly discovered he was in for a longer night than he might have expected.
Navarrete, who said he injured his right thumb, is known for his busy style. For much of the bout, however, Santisima was the busier fighter. It wasn’t until the 10th that Navarrete began to use his length and energy, throwing punches at a rate that began to slow Santisima . It was scored a knockdown and it was enough for Ananyan to win a 95-94, 96-93, 95-94 decision in a significant upset. Matias , a junior-welterweight prospect from Puerto Rico, was fighting for only the second time since Maxim Dadashev died three days after suffering a brain injury in a loss to him last July in Oxon Hill, Md.The first fight on the pay-per-view portion of the card didn’t do much to convince anyone that their $79.99 investment was worth it.
New Jersey welterweight Vito Mielnicki, a 17-year-old high school student, had power in his hands and agility in his feet. Corey Champion, of Virginia, had a promising name, but no chance. Mielnicki dropped Champion with a three-punch combination in the first round and went on to win a one-sided decision.
