He was dominating the fight and got caught by a lucky punch

How come nobody said this about Wilder vs Ortiz 1 & 2? It seems like everyone decided to discredit Ortiz when he got knocked out in a fight that he was dominating but Whyte is supposed to get credit for suffering the same fate? You boxing fans never keep the same energy - -U mad dog?

How come nobody said this about Wilder vs Ortiz 1 & 2? It seems like everyone decided to discredit Ortiz when he got knocked out in a fight that he was dominating but Whyte is supposed to get credit for suffering the same fate? You boxing fans never keep the same energyI can only speak for myself and I not think the KO punch of Whyte was lucky at all. An old KO artist saw an opening and took it with a well timed and placed punch. Likewise KO artist Wilder saw his opening and took it with a perfectly timed and placed punch on both of his KO wins over Ortiz. No luck involved on any of these three KOs in my opinion.

Two things are for sure about this fight: - Povetkin set Whyte up for that uppercut - Povetkin losing those rounds and getting knocked down was not part of the set up Bottom line is, both guys boxed incredibly well - but one of them ended the fight, and that goes in the books. You summed it up perfectly there.

You boxing fans never keep the same energy Whyte wasn't dominating the way Ortiz was, to argue otherwise is to show you don't understand what you're watching. He had a great 4th round with two knockdowns but Povetkin was fine and it was a calculated combination. Ortiz was thoroughly out boxing Wilder and got caught clean. It happens, in both cases. Nothing should be taken away from Wilder, it was a good win. Nothing should be taken from Povetkin either, it also was a good win.

Povetkin was trying to land the punch and kept on getting hit by that short left hook which caused the knockdowns. The first time Whyte didn't throw that left hook he got caught. That punch was far from lucky.

Yeah that old dog had a nice trick still left. That was a thing of beauty. Lucky punch my ass. Whyte didn't even see it because it was so beautiful Yeah it blindsided him big time.

I'm not defending dillian whyte im attacking the people that say wilder landed a lucky punch and luis ortiz is old. Oh OK! Yeah those people are full of it, in the Heavyweight Division anybody can get knocked out and all it takes is one punch so yeah I don't believe in "A Lucky Punch" in the Heavyweight Division One mistake and you're going to SLEEP! Whyte made a Mistake, he got sloppy and Povetkin caught him with a big uppercut which was excellent timing

I'm not defending dillian whyte im attacking the people that say wilder landed a lucky punch and luis ortiz is old. I get what you're saying. And you can make the argument that Wilder set up Ortiz for the KO. The thing is ... Povetkin set Whyte up for that uppercut by digging to the body in the early rounds. Wilder knew Ortiz would get tired in the later rounds. So he didn't rush things. So yeah Wilder set up Ortiz for the KO. Kinda , sort of ... I guess.

So Wilder punch was set up too and Ortiz shouldn't be discredited for losing in that fashion? Asking for a friend I don't know, but the Sasha punch was set. it you know boxing you can see how he stopped going downstairs with that one and went to the chin.

If that makes you feel better...OK we will go with that "Lucky Punch!" https://cdn-wbn.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/povetkin-KTFO-whyte-mr.jpg :lol1: Surely it was sent from the gods.

There was nothing lucky about that punch. It was a beautiful uppercut.

Povetkin wasn't a lucky punch.. Whyte changed nothing and Povetkin himself said he clicked on Whytes moves and set up the uppercut... The reason these guys get sparko is because they can't do it for 12 rounds against better guys, they leave themselves open to this stuff all the time and inevitably it happens when they come up against someone with a brain..

Wilder signed to fight Povetkin and Povetkin failed a drug test. Spin all you like. That's it? You get one and only one opportunity to face decent opposition. Povetkin was cleared they could of fought any time. Whyte did, Joshua did, Wlad did. Wilder chose not to.

Khan is the king of outboxing you before getting koed. Nel o landed lucky punch

There is no such thing as a “lucky punch” in a sport where the only objective is to punch your opponent.

Lol Wilder. The same Wilder that ducked both these guys and can't Box?

It wasn't a lucky punch he set it up perfectly. Dillian and Povetkin should both be respected. It was a good fight with a shocking ending. There is no need to mug off any of them. This is what boxing needs. top fighter's fighting each other. I thought the setting in the matchroom garden was great too. You can love him or hate him, but I think eddie Hearn is doing a great job for boxing.
