Deontay Wilder got dropped by a journeyman

2008 heavyweight Olympic bronze medal winner Deontay Wilder (13-0, 13KOs) was tested for the first time in his unbeaten career. He scored two knockdowns in the first round on journeyman Harold Sconiers (17-21-2, 11KOs). But then Wilder himself was dropped very hard at the end of the second round and appeared to be in serious trouble. He worked his way back in the third, and then scored two more knockdowns in the fourth round to end the fight when the referee stepped in to stop it.

Good. Sounds like he dealt with a little adversity. It's how one gets better.

Hey, its the heavyweight division guys get dropped. He got up and won. I bet Haye would have quit.

very true. It is hard to get better knocking guys out in the first 2 minutes.

You're not getting better by getting KO1 all the time. Hopefully he continues to step up.

his management better be getting him good sparring and his trainer needs to really refine this kid. Every time I have seen him, you see good handspeed, but he is skinny and his technique needs quite a bit of refinement. And in general the kid has no idea how to fight.

He is a 4 year project at the least.
