Eating Crow tonight.

[Thraxox]

I'll definitely eat crow. I thought Ortiz would prevail and even get the knock out and he came darn close. My opinion of Wilder hasn't changed though, if anything I think less of his boxing ability. But mad props to him for sticking in there and showing heart and determination as well as a better chin than a lot of people gave him credit for.

My opinion of him hasn't change. But one thing does is his durability. He can take a punch, both AJ-Parker-Wilder can take a punch.

Nice job! I always knew Wilder would do it. When am picking a fight I don’t use my heart to pick. Doesn’t matter who I want to win at that point. You look at it objectively with all the facts in front of you. Sometimes you get it wrong but most of the time you would get it right.

I picked Ortiz too.

Wilder's power is legit.

[chargerhemi06]

I picked Ortiz to win too. I was thinking Ortiz style is all wrong for Wilder, but that right hand is like a wrecking ball

[QuebecSTAR2]

Probably because he's a boxing fan and recognized the skills Ortiz possesses. Just a guess

Skill is not enough when you are older and don't have stamina anymore.

Skill is not enough when you are older and don't have stamina anymore.

It matters when you are fighting someone that deficient of skills themselves. Don't forget Ortiz almost had Wilder out in the 7th. He has nothing to be ashamed of tonight, it was a good fight in which Ortiz was out-boxing Wilder. That power of Wilder is crazy though, it changes everything once he lands

How can you pick Ortiz? He was shorter, fatter & older.

I picked Ortiz and did so confidently. I assumed the only way Wilder could win was a big shot but I figured it needed to come early or Ortiz would have him totally figured out and dominate.

How can you pick Ortiz? He was shorter, fatter & older.

And won all rounds but 3.... that's why.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Gotta say man, I picked Ortiz to beat, he lost fair and Squre, great win form Wilder. I predicted as much, Ortiz dominating in the technical standpoint, but Wilder's right hand and Ortiz gassing made the difference. But I still didn't see anything in Wilder other than the right hand and his conditioning but can maaaaybe it is enough to beat A.J if he has the same grit.

The Right hand bailed him out once more.

Very honest of you, I pretty much agree with your assessment of the fight
