Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: You Must Give Wilder Credit, He Weathered The Storm

[Ray*]

Well written, bro. These are the types of discussions I prefer to have on this site. One thing though - Wilder is extremely strong in his upper body despite his very skinny legs. See how he threw Ortiz down in the 10th and pushed him far away in one of the earlier rounds. Wilder also did the same against Duhaupas.

If AJ thinks because of Wilder's weight, he can ragdoll him, he will be grossly mistaken. Wilder has barely no weight on those tiny legs but he is country strong.

Everyone goes on about his skinny legs, yes he does have chicken legs for a HW but it hasn’t been a negative for him so far. I saw an interview where AJ said something about Wilder weight and how he would destroy him in regards to that. Well if he thinks he would then he would get KO earlier than I thought.

I obviously want AJ to win but I just don’t see how he wins this fight against Wilder, the only scenario I see is if this fight doesn’t happen for another 2/3 years.

Agreed bro. Wilder is stronger than he looks. AJ needs to either delay the fight a few more years for Wilder to decline or be selectively aggressive if he takes the fight now. Too much aggression will lead to him being countered by Wilder. Wilder is the best finisher in the game - albeit sloppy.
