Deontay Wilder (35-0) rout Johann Duhaupas, keeps WBC heavyweight title

— -- Heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder delivered a massive beating to game Johann Duhaupas, who took enormous punishment but never went down before being stopped in the 11th round on Saturday night at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.

With the partisan crowd roaring for him, Wilder, who is from Tuscaloosa, took it to Duhaupas round after round. By the time the fight was stopped, Duaupas' face was a bloody, black-and-blue mess from taking so many clean punches as Wilder retained his world title for the second time in a Premier Boxing Champions main event that was the first heavyweight title bout on NBC in prime time in 30 years.

Wilder was a huge favorite against the unknown Frenchman. Although Duhaupas appeared to lose every single round, he showed tremendous grit and landed enough punches to raise noticeable swelling under Wilder's left eye in the second round.
