Fans were stunned when Deontay Wilder survived a huge shot from Joseph Parker during their fight on Saturday night.
The New Zealander claimed victory over Wilder in the co-main event of Day of Reckoning via unanimous decision, with the judges scoring 120-108, 118-11 and 118-110.
Parker initially landed a huge right before launching the attack, sending the American backwards into a corner during the eighth round.
The New Zealander didn't hold back as he charged forward and threw a combination of left and right hooks at Wilder, who stumbled back hoping to survive.
It's fair to say that Parker's dominance was coming after he dominated the previous seven rounds against the American.

Another fan posted a clip of the interaction, writing, “The reason Wilder wouldn't let go of his hands is this. What's coming back?'
“What surprises me is that he doesn't even look hurt, he just looks defeated,” one user said.
“Wilder can swing, but he can't give up boxing to save his life,” said another.
