I considered myself a pretty big boxing fan from Ali through the Roy Jones/Shane Mosley years, but lost interest after that. Been hearing the hype about this fight for months & ordered Showtime just to see it. It delivered. It went back & forth, with the American (who was losing on my card) getting a TKO on the Cuban in a late round. For the casual fan who may have lost interest like me, this sets up a possible unification fight for Wilder against the winner of Joshua (Brit) vs Parker (Kiwi) on March 31. Wilder proved he had a chin tonight before laying the lumber.
