Comments Thread For: Team Ortiz: Ratings Show There Should Be a Wilder Rematch

[Madison Boxing]

How did he earn another shot? By getting knocked out? As the great Gil Glancy used to tell his fighters after a loss, as they begged him, "You gotta get me this guy again!" and Gil said, "You just had 'em". I'd like to see the fight again, and I really like Ortiz, but to earn a rematch Ortiz has to, as Holyfield used to say, "Get back in line". B/c there are other fighters now who have earned a shot.

Great post and top quote. Im Fed up of fighters losing and thinking they are entitled to a rematch. Saw some stat that rematches rarely have a different outcome. You get one shot and if you come up short, tough ****, you have to work your way back up.

Do it again in vegas.

It was a good fight tainted by a special 18 second timeout.

By no means did wilder dominate.

He lost most the rounds. Both had 10-8 rounds.


The judges having wilder up was fishy.
Do a rematch.

I would love a rematch! Or ortiz vs whyte, parker, miller, ugonoh! Only big fights now for ortiz, he earned them. Not that he has much time to mix big fights with half assed ones anyways
