Never underestimate how hard it can be to stop a fighter who is in survival mode.Tito KOd a prime joppy like nothing as Joppy was trying to win n taking chances.Bernard went the full 12 beating on Joppy who was absolutely determined to just survive.Ortiz should have finished Scott, but I'm not jumping off the Ortiz bandwagon just yet. I'm also on the Joshua bandwagon lol
I'm not sure if it's just that, as Scott was beyond being in survival mode. He didn't want to be there and basically wanted out every time he did get hit, which just wasn't flush very often. Joppy still took enough good shots for Hopkins and had some grit, bad a fight as that was.

What I'm not sure of is if there is a HW currently who could fight that negatively while still being able to mount enough offence, but to me Ortiz did look a bit slower than he has and really didn't show any variety. No doubt he's still going to be very dangerous if guys try and take the fight to him.
