Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Survives Huge Scare, Knocks Ortiz Out in Tenth

[BoxingTech718]

I was thinking the same thing regarding the jab. I thought he would throw his left jab more to set up the right hand, he kept waiting for Ortiz to make the same error that the polish guys made.

For me Wilder is abandoning his basics in boxing and falling in love with his power, and when a boxer does that then that’s usually the beginning of the end for them.

This right here but I’ll wait for the interview.
I think it looked like he had no energy to me.
Probably related to the ailment that had him lose all that weight.

I liek this corner to corner replay.

Props to Wilder for showing massive heart there to survive but i'm pretty sure if it wasn't an American fighter fighting in America with an American referee that that fight would have been called off when Wilder was taking sustained damage for a minute and half and not throwing anything at all.

Tis good for us that it wasn't though... heavyweight boxing needs Wilder v Joshua.

They had to have him win whatever happened. Those rabbit punches and pushing Ortiz to the ground were ignored as well.

Yeah strange how it was never even mentioned in commentary

The thing is he's not gotten that much better in years and he never will. He can't even throw a left hook or an uppercut properly. He'll always rely on his right hand to bail him out and it might since its so powerful.

That uppercut he threw to finish Ortiz was damn near perfect.

Wilder was hurt but he is still a dangerous fighter because of range and I think Ortiz was well aware of that.

ok, but still, great fighter don't lack balls. he had it and didn't go for it

AJ can win the fight with a jab alone

The fight will be won by KO.

Both got power and both will be down on the canvas if the other lands flush.

Joshua is favorite, but don't count Wilder out. In heavyweight boxing it just takes one punch.

How the hell did all the judges have Wilder up???

It just goes to show you how desperate they are to get Wilder a shot at AJ!

[Vinnykin]

Well done Wilder, I tuned into the 7th round and he was getting pinged around the ring.... much like AJ/Klit, the older lion should have stepped on the younger guy that was in trouble, but couldn't do it...... i still ick prime Ortiz and Klit over Wilder and AJ

I noticed the jab gives Wilder lots of problems. Ortiz didn't use it as much as I was hoping. That jab helped him set up some nice shots.

Wilder doesn't even try to counter the jab even when he has the reach advantage, his jab itself is almost not even a factor. Joshua can literally pull a Gerald Washington but stay composed and keep jabbing and he can beat Wilder
