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
