All I know is Wilder took on the dangerous Luis Ortiz again and this time knocked him out. He was definitely losing the fight and his inactivity was bewildering, but I think it was a mixture of respect for Ortiz's power and boxing ability, and maybe just waiting for the opening to happen. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't fight a Fury rematch the same way. He also talked like a decent human being today, not the bumbling inappropriate fool he has often sounded like. You gotta give respect when respect is merited. I also miss the previous generation of boxers who actually had better boxing skills (and looked like athletes, not Pillsbury dough boys).... but what can you do. I'm just glad we're over the Klitschko era, where every fight was a chloroforming affair (for the fans) and heavyweight boxing lost fans in droves. Since Wlad lost to Joshua, we've had exciting fights, and the division has been the better for it. The current crop may be inferior to the Lennoxes, Holyfields, and Mike Tysons of the past.... but they're evenly matched between themselves and, as long as they manage to continue meeting each other in the ring..... we should be in for some more good fights in the future.
