damn, his right hand is gold
aj vs windmill
whoever land their haymaker 1st will win

lawl, rip cuban
2 of their boxers lost today
lara next...

I'm almost always rooting for them but Cubans rarely catch a break in boxing despite their immense talent. That being said, props to Wilder and War Lara!

Yes, indeed! Wilder not only proved that he could punch but that he has a ton of heart and a chin granite chin to go with it also. He was hurt but refused to go down, He displayed that championship will and determination to stay on his feet. He proved that he's no punk either.

Not a fan. I was working the event last night.

I figured you're either a writer or you work for one of the ABC orgs/promoters in an administrative role lol

You're posts are too formulaic. As a lawyer, I can spot intelligent writing lol

He definitely didn't show a granite chin. What I thought he showed though was high-quality defence when he was hurt. Ortiz had 30-40 seconds to put Wilder down in that 7th round and Wilder used his length really effectively to stay in the fight.

Ortiz made a mistake lunging in with a right hook in the 10th round when they traded shots and Wilder's power took the fight away from him.

I've never seen a fighter like Wilder, he can look so average at times but then he always seems to find a way to land that big right hand. Normally I'd say "his luck will run out eventually" but he just keeps winning.

I think AJ and Wilder has to be next after that performance.

You can spot intelligent writing, yet can't distinguish between "you're" and "your"?

...interesting

Don’t love wilder but where are 80% of board who said Ortiz would beat Beyoncé wilder? As usual no one owns bad picks

[Vinnykin]

difference is wlad is an all time great fighter in great shape and ortiz was a morbidly obese never was and he stilll had to cheat and buy time and rabbit punch to win. some people simply dont understand that boxing is 99 percent capitalism and 1 percent legitimate sport. wilder was always going to win that fight. just check the cards

Not arguing, with Klitschko it was tactical, with Ortiz he could barely throw a jab by the 8th round and was not in shape enough to try and apply pressure by that point, No fighter should get through the 7th and 8th like Wilder did, poor from Ortiz

[soul_survivor]

I gotta agree, wilder can definitely take a punch and showed great resilience. I liked him this fight but I just hope no one overrates him now because aj will destroy him.

There will be a lot of broken American hearts if they don't think straight.

No. 5 or 10 seconds more and the ref would have stopped it. Showing you can take a punch is NOT getting hurt.

I tend to agree. It's more like he showered that he could stay upright while hurt, which is still impressive for a heavyweight. Either way, Wilder changed my perception of him last night and I would now favor him to defeat AJ.
