Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3

[Spicoli]

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.

[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.

[Dark Lord Al]

WTF was the ref doing at the start of the round when Wilder was wobbly ?
Gave Wilder an extra 35 seconds to recover ?

[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.

[Fenster]

The slow mo of Wilder trying to finish him is another classic, he must be doing it on purpose now.

How can someone so clueless at boxing be so "lucky" ... ignoring the horse shoe he carries in his right glove.

Wilder is the attraction. He was ahead on the cards too. That's how professional boxing rolls.

Could of been a very different fight. Have a look at what the ref was doing while Wilder was holding Ortiz's arms after being wobbled if you watch the fight again.

No excuses here though tbh. Ortiz was sapped after rd 7

[Dark Lord Al]

Ortiz got shafted .

[powerpuncher]

For a fight that started so boring it ended very exciting.

Wilder proved three things tonight. First off, he is tough. Second, he is an awful boxer. Third, he hits hard.

[Dark Lord Al]

Wilder has one thing that is power , he is an awful boxer. I would have loved for him to be trained by manny stewart he has a great physical shape for Kronk , tall and lean , fast and KO POWER.

He has a champion’s heart and otherworldly power. It’s taken him to 40-0 and a great victory tonight. Credit to him. I feel for Ortiz, but someone had to lose. Boy did he almost have him...Great War between two monsters.
