DEONTAY WILDER was awarded only a single round by the three-man judging panel overseeing his stunning heavyweight title defeat to Tyson Fury on Sunday morning.
The Las Vegas rematch ended midway through round seven as the Bronze Bomber’s corner threw the towel in.
The scorecard revealed the heavy defeat Wilder suffered
But that was after an utter barrage from Fury, 31, on the defending champion that sent him onto the canvas a number of times.
Following the stoppage, the official scorecards of the judges showed the devastating nature of the Gypsy King’s victory.
Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld both handed Fury the points in all six rounds completed.
Only Glenn Feldman found Wilder to come out on top at any point of the fight, awarding him the second round 10-9.
The outcome was a far cry from the pre-fight fears that the American judges overseeing the contest would tilt it in the home favourite’s favour.
The experienced trio were selected by the Nevada State Athletic commission and was a different make-up to the Canadian, Mexican and British experts chosen for their initial draw in December 2018.

Referee Kenny Bayless did deduct a point off Fury in the fifth round but he was still adjudged the emphatic victor of that stage of the match.
The final stats of the encounter backed up the judges’ unanimous verdict with Fury throwing 82 punches to Wilder’s 34.
Of those, the Brit landed his blows at a greater rate, with 30.7 per cent hitting Wilder to 24.1 per cent.
