Zhilei Zhang's BRUTAL TKO STUNS Deontay Wilder In 5th Round I Boxing Recap I CBS Sports

[Music]

down goes Deontay Wilder Wilder getting

knocked out by Jaye Jung in round five

the fastest loss of his entire boxing

career started his career 420 and one

Wilder has now lost four of his last

five fights as for Jung it's the 22nd

knockout of his career he improves to

272 and one

overall and for more on the big

heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia

always say hello to CVS Sports combat

sports analyst Brian Campbell okay BC uh

an absolutely fantastic finish for Jung

but the fight itself didn't seem like a

lot was going on there what did you see

no no a dreadful tense fight this is the

other side of the heavyweight division

which we know for big fireworks but

sometimes the Delivery Systems to get

there don't live up to expectations and

that's what we saw for Deontay Wilder

the former decorated longtime WBC

champion who comes in with that

reputation as one of the biggest

punchers of the in the sports history

but what he needed to do on this evening

was save his reputation here at age 38

we saw a lifeless performance from

Wilder back in December when he lost to

Joseph Parker and we saw a continuation

of that here it's tough to pinpoint what

exactly has gone wrong for Wilder along

with age right and the Damage he took in

his two losses to Tyson Fury maybe it

was that iasa spiritual Retreat he went

on late last year that brought peace to

his life but when he has peace in his

personal life what we've seen in the

ring is a failure to launch or even

obviously a bigger failure to connect I

don't take joy in watching such a

decorated menacing Champion essentially

have a inability to let his hands go but

as much as when we talk about a fighter

being pasted his days we talk about the

chin usually sometimes it's also just

you can see what's in front of you but

your mind can't activate the body to let

the hands go with punches coming back

this was a dreadful performance from

Wilder and when we're talking about the

ideas of retirement it's not just

something you should take seriously this

is now two fights in four or five months

where we see he's well well well past it

this would seem to be the end of Deontay

Wilder at least at the upper echelon of

the heavyweight division but he didn't

speak after the fight so we haven't

heard from Deontay Wilder what appears

to be next for him in his boxing career

well this was such a weird and unique

situation right we know what's going on

in Saudi Arabia so much money being put

into the sport and so many dream

matchups being made but Wilder had a

fight scheduled already for August 3rd

it's going to take place in Los Angeles

it's the first Saudi Arabia promoted

card in on us soil but he was supposed

to be be taking on Jared Anderson the

unbeaten American heavyweight Prospect

known as big baby in a fight that I just

can't see now can continue to go on and

happen with wilder losing twice in four

or five months and looking this badly

you'd have to think retirement is in

future even though the paydays out there

could be tremendous but what everybody

was hoping for was we were going to

finally get the fight that never

happened the one that was 10 years in

the making Anthony Joshua versus Deontay

Wilder once again though those

performances make it where it's just not

viable Wilder not letting his hands go

he came in at only 214 lbs you can see

the skinny legs he just didn't look

physically or mentally to be in there

and it's tough to see you have to

remember this man's history he was 19

years old stocking shelves overnight in

a grocery store when his young daughter

was born with uh with illnesses needed

money he picks up boxing he wins a gold

medal I'm sorry a bronze medal at the

Olympics then turns Pro and without the

requisite technique and normal let's say

te boxing skills that we see he carried

that big right hand all the way to a

world title made more than 10 defenses

made huge money in Blockbuster

pay-per-views including that trilogy

against Tyson Fury it's been the

American dream it's been an incredible

story for the bronze bomber but that

story looks far far over at this point

yeah heck of a career perhaps a big time

overachiever Deontay Wilder it looks

like the top of the heavyweight division

is pretty much set at least in the near

term we're going to see a rematch for

the Undisputed four belt title coming up

later this year where does this win

leave Jay J in his career he's not a

young man he's in his 40s now yeah look

he had been built so slowly as a young

prospect that nobody took him seriously

credit to Big Bang Jang as he likes to

call himself for getting serious he

brought on American trainer Shawn George

he's become an elite threat he'll get a

big payday off of this but even though

it looked like he wanted Anthony Joshua

next Joshua seems to be lined up with

Daniel Dubois who in tonight's co-main

event knocked out Philip erovic to score

the interim ibf title let's see Anthony

Joshua against DUIs later in the year we

know we have usyk Fury 2 in December for

all four belts but big bang Jang is

going to get a big one whether that's a

rematch with Joseph Parker who just beat

him in a controversial fight two months

ago or not either way big business at

heavyweight and with Saudi Arabia

financially fueling these matchups

there's no matchup that can't be made in

my opinion right now in boxing and

that's an exciting time for a fan look

big bang Jang using that big bang to

knock out Deontay Wilder Wilder in the

fifth round of this fight is is that

hiso is he kind of like Wilder like he's

a one punch guy J big dude too he's

closer to wilder than he is let's say

Alexander usyk where he does rely on the

big power but Jang is sneaky he's got

very good technique he's 6'6 a southpaw

from China I mentioned that it took him

a while to put his game together the

only really shortcomings of late for him

in recent years has been a bad gas tank

but you saw that he came in 11 pounds

lighter for this fight than he did just

a couple months ago against Parker it's

tough to see me to see him in my opinion

outp pointing the true Elites in this

division but anybody just short of that

he's a knockout threat he can handle him

himself as a boxer he's had a tough

couple tough wins where he hasn't looked

great in there but he's got a a Gody

record and this is arguably you could

say the biggest win of his career he

will advance from this and get a very

big opportunity he's got a big frame

look he's facing another 66 guy in

Deontay Wilder and he outweighed him by

like 60 plus pounds at the weighin do

you think that factored in at all and

and Ken used to maybe lose a couple of

those

pounds no I really like the shape that

Jang wasen I've seen him more overweight

I mentioned the cardio issues in fact

look he's had fights where he admitted

afterwards he didn't drink water

throughout all of training camp didn't

realize the importance of it so he's had

an up and down run but he can punch he

can box I think when he takes his cardio

seriously it raises the level of threat

look if he goes in there and can advance

let's say to an Anthony Joshua fight

he's still a wild card heavyweights age

differently no one's concerned about the

41 next to his name you're really just

concerned can he continue to stay the

course put in the work and be a big time

threat over 12 rounds I say he can be

he's in this title picture all right

that's CBS Sports combat sports analyst

Brian Campbell BC thanks so much for the

knowledge much

appreciated Deontay Wilder if this is it

well it's been trending that way for a

while Deontay Wilder began his career

420 And1 and you'll see here he lost

four of his last fights including a

fifth round KO in Saudi Arabia on

Saturday e
