Wilder punches pack plenty of pain

BROOKLYN, New York - When WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder finally took off the gold mask he wore into the ring on Saturday night, he revealed a fierce scowl.

That look never disappeared as he quickly and methodically demolished the only man who had ever gone the distance with him.

Wilder retained his title by sending Bermane Stiverne crashing to the canvas three times before referee Arthur Mercante called a halt to the slaughter with one second left in the opening round.
