Wilder's power bailed him out against Ortiz, and now Ortiz's power bails him out against Martin. Isn't that why people like watching this division anyway?
That was another IBF eliminator. I believe Ortiz/Hrgovic will be ordered as a final eliminator? Hrgovic couldn’t get any of the IBF top 15 to fight him for one reason or another but I think Ortiz has to fight him or else they might just anoint Hrgovic the mandatory if he declines.
There you have it folks, second best guy on Wilders resume and he landed just 2 punches in one of the rounds, got knocked down twice by telegraphed punches and threw single punches all night. And people have the brains to call Chisora and Whyte bums.
Luis Ortiz of 2016-2019 would have KTFO Anthony Joshua. Both are past prime now, but Ortiz's punch resistance seems to have abandoned him. If he got caught by any of the top 5 or so in the division they would finish him off. Fair play to the man, pushing 60 and still putting on a show.
