Klitschko age and long layoff showed up late in the fight. Joshua recovered and Klitschko got fatigued. Once Joshua picked up the pace again it was a wrap.
Ortiz got rocked by right hands. He couldn't stand up to Wilder's power.
Either way, both fighters did what they needed to do. Joshua got off the canvas and took care of business. Wilder overcame a scare and took his guy out. Age would't matter if they both lost.
Wlad doesn't allow any inside fighting. Ortiz has no shot. He would tire and get stopped late.
he gets nailed long range

there's a reason he never fought Sanders again.

the fact that Luis Ortiz finished Bryant Jennings whereas Wlad struggled and went the distance is very telling of their respective level.
Ortiz beats Wlad heads up.
Wlad is an HOF fighter an Olympic Gold Medalst. Ortiz nothing but a fat contender with high blood pressure.
lets look at some of the fighters he struggled with and lost too shall we?
Wlad was a 68 year old grandpa coming off a two year layoff and a one sided embarrassing defeat. with one leg in retirement. and still he put AJ on his ass but couldn't finish him because his fossilized arms ran out of steam. Wlad so fckn old he considered going into the ring in a wheelchair and oxygen tank.
Ortiz would knock Wlad out h2h. Never mind now. In his prime
Ortiz is a better defensive fighter and a crafty southpaw.
One of the few people on this site with any real understanding of Boxing on a technical level.
Ortiz would have been a nightmare for any version of Wlad Klitschko.
Wlad was also lucky to reign at a time at the absolute lowest point of Heavyweight Boxing and only had one good title defence in 10 Years which was Povetkin.

Every HW would've went down if Wlad hit them with that shot. Wilder, Ortiz, Parker you name it.
But not every HW would've gotten up.
