By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) cleared up the confusion about which of his two powerful shots that did the job in knocking out Malik Scott (36-2-1, 13 KO’s) in the 1st round last Saturday night at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Deontay said that Scott told him it was his left hook that put him on the canvas in the 1st round.
With the way that Deontay nailed Scott, it was hard to tell which of his punches planted the 33-year-old Scott for the 10 count.
“I spoke to Malik Scott and he said it was my left hook that did it,” Deontay said. “He’ll do great things, though.”
By Scott Gilfoid: After destroying Malik Scott (36-2-1, 13 KO’s) in an impressive 1st round knockout last night in their WBC heavyweight eliminator bout, Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) is ready to fight the winner of the May 10th fight between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne for the WBC heavyweight title later on this year. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is already talking about where to stage the Deontay vs. Arreola or Stiverne fight, and he’s thinking about putting the fight in Los Angeles at the The Forum.

Wilder, 28, has been able to stop his first 28 foes during his 6-year pro career, but he’s not faced anyone as good as Scott. 
By Dan Ambrose: Open scoring will be used for tonight’s fights between Deontay Wilder and Malik Scott, and Danny Garcia and Mauricio Herrera, according to Fightnews. The World Boxing Councils rules will be in play, and one of them is open scoring unfortunately. The scores will be read after the 4th and 8th rounds, which will take away any suspense at all in the fights. The only thing good about is it will likely only affect the Garcia-Herrera fight, because Scott will not be around by the end of the 4th round.
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) thinks British heavyweight David Haye’s recent shoulder injury is a result of the punishment that he’s taken since moving up to the heavyweight division in 2008. The 6’7″ Deontay sees Haye as a cruiserweight fighting in the wrong division, and he thinks Haye should stay retired rather than try to make a come back. But with that said, Deontay would be more than willing to fight Haye if he’s up for it. He’d also like to face British heavyweights Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury as well. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) will be trying to accomplish two tasks this Saturday night when he faces Malik Scott (36-1-1, 13 KO’s) on Showtime at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Deontay’s first goal is to get the win to become the mandatory WBC heavyweight challenger in order to face the winner of the Bermane Stiverne vs. Chris Arreola bout later this year.
