Does Ortiz have a shot at the upset?

[SinderellaMan]

I think Wilder has the advantage either way. I think he can stop Ortiz with one shot, while Luis needs to overwhelm him. Both men have solid chins. But the longer the fight goes, regardless of Ortiz’s conditioning, the more his chances grow dimmer.

Yeah and Wilder was legitimately sick in the 1st fight.
The Fury knockdown and Breazeale KO have the attention of the masses.
Beating Ortiz behind that thudding jab, hopefully, he can have another highlight reel KO.
And Ortiz gives any heavyweight hell.
I also think Wilder learned to relax a bit more after the Fury fight.
The fight was more so Wilder losing rounds than Fury dominating them.

Of course he has a shot at the upset. Look at heavyweight history; there are more big upsets in this division than any other. However, we also know that Wilder will likely have the benefit of the doubt from the judges, and he is also very likely to knock out Ortiz. I want Ortiz to win but give him only about an 11 or 12 percent chance.

He has no chance and will not last very long. Mark my words. Losing weight and the fact that Wilder already figured him out before will not bode well for Ortiz at all. Wilder KO2> Ortiz

I hope Ortiz can avoid a big punch and pull this one off. He almost had Wilder last time but ran out of gas. Didn't help the commission gave Wilder an extra 20 seconds or so after round 7.

I’ll be rather surprised if this goes the distance. I think it’s much likelier this ends in a KO. And the chances are Ortiz will be on the receiving end.

Ortiz will be in better shape this time and avoid single shots with the limited Wilder skill set so I see it going 12 or a unlikely Ortiz knockout win unless hes improved foot speed and not the slow movement he does to walk down guys.

Absolutely, do people actually think Wilder will all of a sudden out box him and win majority of the rounds? As long as Ortiz is standing, he's going to win his fair share of rounds. Just has better boxing fundamentals and will win rounds off his IQ and technique. Of course, Wilder will just try to jab his way through the early rounds until he is able to land his bomb. And when he does land, we shall see how Ortiz takes it. Was taking some shots well last fight until the end.

Guess he couldn't take Wilder's shot, but definitely won majority of the rounds, if not all of them before the KO.

For those that weren't giving Ortiz any shot were crazy. He was always going to win most of the rounds. Just had one slip up and that's all it took.
