Wilder's chin.

Unless you have an extremely good chin, you will get hurt and dropped in a career at HW.
Even against supposed weak opposition.
His chin is fine. Not great, but fine. Same as Joshua.Comment

The man took a sustained beating for a minute from one of the biggest punchers in the division. Not only head shots, but body shots as well, and he did not hit the canvas. He had the presence of mind to hold and try to use his defense throughout. That's a good chin if I ever saw one. And the punch from Ortiz that caused it, was a sneaky right hook he didn't see.Comment

wilder showed a good chin. lesser fighters have gone down from those shots. bigger guys than wilder too, mind you.
credit wilder for showing that he was tough, has a good chin, and for being in shape.
he's just got to work on the rest of his game. a lot. it's amazing how far he's gotten with all of these flaws. his jab, when he actually throws it, is anywhere from a very good tool to basically impossible to deal with. he really is a talented fighter. speed and power and a ton of range.
jesus f#cking christ he can punch.Comment

these guys have no idea what they are looking at. i was expecting wilder to get stopped. ortiz was doing exactly what he needed to do. but wilder had the nuts, the gas tank, the chin, and the punching power. we weren't sure about any of that other than the punching power.
it really was a great fight. i was so infuriated when people were booing. FFS those two are huge hitters and could end a career on a mistake. just be patient and enjoy the boxing until somebody gets his clock cleaned.Comment

Look at the 7th round, he was getting caught CLEAN, the only reason he didn't go down was because of that chin.Comment

Wilder showed a good chin and recovery ability. His defense when he was wobbled was also good. He smothered a lot of Ortiz's onslaught in round 7. Ortiz spent himself in round 7 trying to finish Wilder and couldn't fully recover. While Wilder was fully recovered by then end of round 8.
The fact that Wilder was able to still pitch a one hitter quitter in round 10 makes him an extremely dangerous heavyweight. Ortiz was no slouch in that ring and had Wilder in a world of trouble. Not many heavyweight would have made it out of that 7th round against him.Comment
