If the KO Didn’t Come, the Fix Was In!

1-4: 10-10
5: 10-8 Wilder
6: 10-9 Wilder
7: 10-9 Ortiz (10-8 Ortiz if you're a Cuban)
8: 10-9 Ortiz
9: 10-9 Wilder

If you think Ortiz deserved to be up big, you're basing that on the first 4 rounds where nothing of relevance happened. Stop it!

Me and my other orgs discussed it and although we had Ortiz up, it was not by a whole lot. We are very proud of Wilder and we are working hard to get him to drop that vile WBC belt. He will never be a true champ until he wears a WBO, WBF or IBO strap.

my disappointment is every time ortiz stand in fornt of wilder he's getting hurt

That alone should tell you that I believe you need to earn a round. None of the *****footing I saw by either man in the first 4 deserved a damn thing.

You don’t determine how things work. 10-10 rounds are certainly not unheard of, but four in a row? Scoring just doesn’t work that way.

Disappointed? Yes. Butthurt? No. Wilder managed to survive and KO Ortiz. Props to him. Props to Ortiz as well. Both men gave us a good show, much better than most expected. But if you don’t find it strange that all three judges had Wilder ever so slightly up...

The fight was close. I never care about judges scorecards. I had Ortiz up by 2 points and can see why they might have Wilder up 1. That’s how you know that the sound of punches landing has an affect on scoring. And Ortiz wasn’t landing a lot of shots to say that he was clearly winning.

We also know that a short left hook dropped Ortiz in round 2 I believe. Flash knockdown but a knockdown.

That extra 30 seconds or so at the start of round 8 was highly su****ious and detracts from a great fight IMO. Ortiz was up but I never felt he'd win. He proved me wrong though I predicted 12-0 or KO within 4 but he was fairly dominant.

This is the problem with boxing nobody will say anything because it was a definitive outcome and will be ignored or swept under the rug.
Anybody who watched that fight knows the fix was in to keep the big money fight with AJ alive.

Judges like this should be fired immediately as they are obviously corrupt and will strike again.

In no other sport do officials get away with **** like that we should start piecing together petitions or something.

Ok...this falls in line with what I’m talking about. You and nearly everyone here, including myself, had Ortiz up, regardless of how much. Yet all three judges had Deontay ever so slightly up at the end? All the same score? When you’ve seen robbery after robbery in over forty years as a boxing fan, that tends to raise an eyebrow.

Gotta go for the IBO. ::mic drop::
