Friday June 27th we seen the return of the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder. Wilder making his return to the ring in beautiful Wichita KS, at the Charles Koch Arena to take on the very underrated and extrememly talented Tyrrell Too Real Herndon.

Wilder coming off some recent disappointing performances showed Friday night he still has plenty left in the tank to get back on top of the mountain.  Wilder looked poised and more mature and let the fight come to him instead of loading up for one big right hand like in past years.
