Footage of Deontay Wilder vs. Harold Sconiers?

Seems we're not alone in our struggles for this... A stunning and controversial Deontay Wilder knockdown remains lost without a trace after a WBN investigation. The former WBC heavyweight champion got put down by the little-known Harry Sconiers in 2010. Golden Boy acknowledged the clash as Wilder’s “toughest test to date,” but the footage is nowhere to be found. For years now, World Boxing News has searched far and wide for the whereabouts of any video containing the incident. Deontay Wilder knockdown Taking place at Fantasy Springs twelve years ago, Wilder was reportedly dropped for more than ten seconds and saved by the bell to avoid losing just his thirteenth bout. WBN gained eye-witness accounts and references from Wilder himself and trainer Jay Deas. However, none of those obtained shed any further light on the mystery. As previously explained, several social media links to the video and photos are dead. At the same time, WBN has contacted Golden Boy, Fantasy Springs, and Mexican Television for footage. Topped by Eloy Perez vs Dominic Salcido, Solo Boxeo grabbed the rights to broadcast the event in Mexico. WBN has since learned they only recorded the main event. Fantasy Springs spokesman Michael Felci delved into the archives upon request by WBN. In the end, they could only come up with photographs. One of which accompanies this article. Golden Boy, who some fans have accused of ‘burying’ what would have been a damaging clip of Wilder, responded through Robert Diaz. The GBP Vice President and Matchmaker could only push us in the right direction. Ultimately, a dead-end came to fruition. So what really happened that night? Two men who were undoubtedly there on the night commented in prior interviews. Rabbit punch Wilder himself said to The Opening Kickoff on WNSP-FM 105.5: “Early in my career, I got dropped. I got a rabbit punch in the back of the neck. “When the punch happened instantly, my neck started to swell. There was a knot back there. It was a black out-type of feeling. “By the time I got back up, the ref was in my face. I was like, “what’s going on?'” Deas, his co-manager alongside Shelly Finkel, stated to Tha Boxing Voice: “Harold Sconiers, who didn’t have a great record but had just knocked out Andre Purlette. “He was forty wins and three losses in the fight before Deontay, so we knew he was a live guy. “Deontay knocked him down twice and moved in for the kill. Sconiers threw a punch. It landed kind of on the back of Deontay’s head. But it still counted. Wilder wins by KO “Deontay took it well, got up, and stopped it in the next round. So it can happen to anybody. It’s just one of those things in boxing. “Behind the head, but hey, it’s boxing. What are you going to do, complain? You got to get back up. You got to do the job.” Deontay Wilder did so in the fourth after dropping Sconiers four times. But that fact still can’t deflect from what really went down. Maybe we will never know. Or maybe there’s someone out there with grainy footage of the knockdown.

Bump :) .....

'In opening bout action, 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Deontay Wilder, after scoring two first round knockdowns, survived a major scare after having to rise from the canvas at the end of the second round after being floored hard by veteran Harold Sconiers. With only the second round bell saving Wilder from being knocked out, he then got his senses together in the third round and rebounded to knock Sconiers down twice more in the fourth round. The fourth knockdown was a hard overhand right to the forehead of Sconiers that put him down hard against the bottom rope prompting the referee to call an end to the fight at 1:09 of the fourth round. With the victory, Wilder improves to 13-0 (13KO’s) while the hard luck Sconiers falls to 17-21-2 (11KO).'

If a complete bum like Harold Sconiers can drop Wilder hard and have him in desperate trouble then a 270 pound Fury certainly can too. Here's an example of what Fury can do if he plants his feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hllzMpsF_ZU

Bump!!!!!!!

The Sconiers fight was a pro bout not an amateur fight.

Hilarious lol. To be fair he looks like your typical Klitschko opponent. What was the guy called who Fury fought MacDermott ? Funniest part is Wilder is still facing these guys now, look at his opponent this month !

denium you never told me you fought against Wilder and nearly stopped him in 40 seconds, how come you kept this from the forum ? Hilarious lol. To be fair he looks like your typical Klitschko opponent.

I remember Wilder getting blew by a 500lb truck driver. I've fixed this for you.

It will come out one day. Like when the mythical footage of Vitali Klitschko getting sparked by Pele Reid in K1 came out.

Can someone verify what happens at 0:42 of this video? denium you never told me you fought against Wilder and nearly stopped him in 40 seconds, how come you kept this from the forum ?

Can someone verify what happens at 0:42 of this video? we need to be lighter on our opinions on Wilder. Look at how magnificent that contender is. Great opposition, lol.

If the left jab landed in that sequence, the view is entirely blocked by the referee that is standing there. Send me those x-ray goggles you're using. I'm just using common sense. You see the jab thrown as a counter and it sends Wilder backwards. The right misses but the left has done the damage.
