Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder‘s streak of 32 consecutive knockouts is among the longest in boxing history. Which were his most devastating?

3. TKO 2 Dominique Alexander

Taking place at the Walter Oaks Farm in Alabama, it was a fairly tame opening frame for Deontay Wilder versus a fairly experienced opponent in the 20-11-1 Dominique Alexander, most notable opponents being former champions Shannon Briggs and Krzysztof “Diablo” Wlodarcyzk.

Wilder finally opened up in Round 2, forcing his opponent into the corner, unleashing a six-punch combination that dropped him for a count of nine.

Alexander wasn’t so lucky moments later.

With his opponent’s back to yet another corner, Wilder stuck out his left hand to find range before letting loose a right shot that would’ve spun Alexander into a windstorm had it not been for the ropes to stop the rotation.

Wilder was already walking away before his opponent even hit the canvas—boxing’s equivalent of a walk-off home run.
