Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Ortiz Easily Concussed; Wilder Can't Go Right-Hand Crazy

I'll always remember being at the garden for lennox vs michael grant and hearing the sound of his punches, even though i was sitting somewhere in the middle rows. The hardest sounding punching i personally witnessed, and i also saw both klitschkos

Well this depresses me slightly because I’m old enough to have been an adult for the fights you mention but the loudest punches I’ve heard live are Okolie’s and John Ryder’s!

But Ortiz may be scripted to look good too before the dive, so Haymon can use Ortiz to send and try to beat Joshua, who will regain his belts. Ortiz will be carried before diving. Haymon will want that AJ vs Ortiz payday %.

Not sure about the "easily concussed" thing by Lennox.
I don't know if there's real tangible proof of that.
Age is a factor, no doubt. But when does a fighter really get old?
Look at Pacman, still bouncing around (although nowhere near his prime he's still a force).

I watched the 1st Wilder/Ortiz fight again.
Very interesting as, Ortiz's plan the entire fight was to counter Wilder's cross.
When he finally hurt Wilder, I don't think it was a counter.

Then Wilder recovered after beating in the 7th (I think) but still didn't look well the next 2 rounds.
- But Ortiz couldn't finish him off (likely gassed?)

In the 10th Wilder still not fully recovered but starting to fire back a bit...
Ortiz pursues Wilder and overreached near ropes, Wilder steps aside and counters him (right hand of course).

Basically Wilder executed Ortiz's plan was but inadvertently. The irony!

Not sure about easily concussed, but Ortiz certainly didn't look very impressive against Hammer.

Glass Joey, you sound ignorant as hell.

Almost as ******ed as that idiot in the White House, huh. Nevermind how wealthy he is, he's a complete f×××ing moron.

I am surprised that Lewis is bothering to opinion on this.
