Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3

[Spicoli]

Wilder pulls one out of the fire, brutal finish finally.

[Batman]

Well there we go then, Ortiz put on a good show but the old legs couldn't take it.

[Gandalf]

Not very impressive from Wilder, but as always he gets the finish. Still think he stops Joshua in 4.

[Fenster]

All three judges had Wilder in front. Unbeliveable.

Old man really did need a KO to win.

[Memphis]

Ortiz missed a trick there, he had his moment. Credit to Wilder, he took some clumps, most expected him to fold like a house of cards under proper fire. He was smart enough to take the round off too when his primary instinct is to fight. Violent finish as ever.

Joshua Wilder is still a toss up. Nothing really changes so long as neither of them loses.

[Kirkland Laing]

Wilder's right hand is still intact too.

[Batman]

right then, I'm off to bed, I'll watch Bivol and Kov in a few hours

[Spicoli]

Ortiz thanks God for fighting for WBC...brilliant. Know AJ won't happen soon, I'd like to see him batter Fat Baby in meantime.

[KickMuck]

Ive not screamed at the tv in a long time. Ortiz did have his moment in my eyes. Should of focused on taking Wilder out while he had the chance.

I Knew wilder had more second wind if he found his legs again and i know Ortiz would be gassing in the later rounds if the fight upped pace.

It is what it is. I really wanted Ortiz to give Wilder a boxing lesson and he did for the best part of the fight. The best man won obviously but i don't think Wilder can unify with that sloppy swingy bandy style he has. He can't rely on that wild right against everyone. Can he?

Style wise Ortiz is king of the HW division. Fitness is another issue.

Great fight. Happy i stayed up to watch it.

Paulie needs to stop with the AJ v Wlad stuff. Wlad is Wlad and tested himself over many years. Ortiz is skilled but ends there. Wilders best win though.
