Luis Ortiz Reach

[Legends456]

In the first fight against Wilder, he was listed as having 84” reach — a one-inch advantage over Wilder.

This time around, I’ve seen articles stating that he as at a reach disadvantage — listing his reach at 78”.

Does anyone know why this happened and why his reach has changed?

He shrunk in the wash.

I'm sure a few conspiracy theorists will suggest it was to make the fight seem more appealing, human error is probably more likely!

... "listed" by who, exactly?...

... Boxrec and Wikipedia have/had him at 78”...

In the first fight they measured right to the end of his cane.

No, Ortiz's reach was corrected for Wilder/Ortiz 1.

His bones have compacted, happens with old age.
