LAS VEGAS Two charts, four photos, and a six second video lay bare the brutality of heavyweight boxing, as Tyson Fury punished Deontay Wilder through seven rounds on Saturday.
Wilder, the knockout puncher with a notorious right hand, surrendered his WBC championship title to the unorthodox but brilliant Fury, who outboxed him, roughed him up on the inside, and beat him down until the referee Kenny Bayless put a stop to the action.
Fury's career is peaking. The way he finished Wilder in such emphatic fashion was every bit as impressive as the way he bamboozled Wladimir Klitschko five years ago. But now, like then, he's a champion. The Gypsy King rules again.

Tyson Fury recruited Kronk Gym stalwards like Javan "SugarHill" Steward and his cousin Andy Lee to help him develop greater punching power in his most recent training camp. Against Deontay Wilder, it showed what a great call that was as he bullied the American like no one else has ever been able to.
