Help us Deontay Wilder, you're our only hope

The last American boxing olympian is heavyweight Deontay Wilder. Wilder, the least experienced fighter on the team, made it to the semifinal round after decisioning opponent Mohammed Arjaoui.

Wilder will face Italian fighter Clemente Russo on Friday. Does he have a shot? Think about it. If Wilder wins Friday and goes on to grab gold, he won't just be the Olympic savior but the American Heavyweight saviour, too!

With virtually no legit American HW contenders in the professional ranks right now, winning the next 2 fights in the Olympics would make Wilder the most famous American heavyweight fighter in the world.

Talk about pressure.

Still, it'd be nice to have a little bit of hope for the future, and it'd sure help Wilder fill up his pockets in the meantime.
