Entering their rematch in Las Vegas, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and former undisputed champ Tyson Fury looked to etch their legacy in boxing lore.
With their initial matchup ending in a draw, the two hulking behemoths met in the center of the ring with the WBC, lineal and The Ring titles on the line.
But while Wilder came out guns blazing, Fury proved to be the superior pugilists as he battered his American opponent for six rounds before mercilessly putting an end to it in Round 7.
Below is how the pros reacted a wild night action inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The ref made the right decision. Ear drum busted, no offense from his opponent, being knocked down a few times. Live to fight another day. Sometimes we have off nights and sometimes opponents are just better than us that night. #WilderFury2

All hail the #GypsyKing. He did what he said. What a remarkable achievement. Congrats @Tyson_Fury. Deontay, a champion, showed all the heart in the world; the corner and ref did what they needed to. He wasn’t okay. #boxing #WilderFury2

His corner did he a FAVOR straight up!! No question about it. Equilibrium was super off and he may have been concussed too!
