Otto Wallin Wants Tyson
Fury Rematch |
|
Brand-new WBC Heavyweight
Champion Tyson Fury wasn’t the only fighter whose stock
rose dramatically with his dominant seventh-round
stoppage of Deontay Wilder Saturday night.
By virtue of his strong performance against Fury last
September, Sweden’s IBF #15-ranked Otto Wallin (20-1, 13
KOs) must now be considered a serious force in the big
man’s division. “If anybody still doubted me, now they
know,” said Wallin. “My fight with Fury was of course a
much better fight and I showed that I belong as a top
contender.”

Heavyweight Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KO’s) was
completely dominated by Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO’s) on
Saturday night in Las Vegas. It was a one-sided affair
that exposed every single one of Wilder’s numerous
flaws. Fury did exactly what he said he was going to do.
That is, he brought the fight to Wilder in a calculated
fashion as he stalked, feinted, jabbed, attacked to the
body and overpowered Wilder with ease.

Fury Drops Wilder Twice, Stops Him In
7 |
|
Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21
KO's) won the WBC Heavyweight Championship with a 7th
round stoppage over previously unbeaten Deontay Wilder
(42-1-1, 41 KO's). From the start to finish it was all
Fury. Fury was first and last to land, and smothered
Wilder, not allowing him to get into the fight
whatsoever. Wilder tried to land his big bombs, but
missed wildly. Fury would score a knockdown in the 3rd
with a huge right hand behind the left ear of Wilder.
Wilder was not the same after that, wobbling back to his
corner. Fury would score another knockdown with a left
hook to the body which pushed Wilder down who was on
uneasy legs the whole night. The end came in the 7th
when Wilder came out of the corner looking ready to go
as Fury unleashed on him in the corner with big right
hands. Referee Kenny Bayless had seen enough and waived
the fight off at 1:39 into the round.

Bahamian Heavyweight
Prospect Amron Sands Earns Dominant Victory In The
Dominican Republic |
|
Heavyweight prospect Amron
"The Sandman" Sands improved to 11-0 (9 KOs) with a
victory against Cristian Galvez last night at Club
Deportivo Calero in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The six-foot-six Sands, born in Nassau, Bahamas, now
based in Orlando, FL, came out aggressively, dropping
Galvez in the opening round with a left hook. However,
he hurt his left thumb while blocking a punch later in
the frame and had to switch tactics. Promoted by DiBella
Entertainment and managed by Kevin Dever Sports
Management, Sands pumped his jab to outbox Galvez and
punished him to the body whenever his foe moved in too
close. Going the eight-round distance for the first
time, Sands won a unanimous decision. Galvez, of Maimon,
Dominican Republic, is now 17-6 (15 KOs).

Instagram followers.
