People hating on Wilder's style are simply just that, haters.
Anyone that has a decent reference in boxing knows, Wilder's style is mostly garbage. He swats with his hook/jab at times. He looks off balance in stance. The part that you can't call text book however is his explosive power. Or the speed that backs it up. If he manages to land any of those awkward shots within 12 rds, the average heavyweight is probably not going to stand up to it.
I thought Ortiz chin was solid but it might of got cracked from their first fight. This fight only took another shot from Wilder and it showed Ortiz had lost it from their first fight.
Wlad was a super cautious fighter once he realized he couldn't take a shot. This fight would be no different and I can see Wilder eventually landing one of his odd shots and laying Wlad out. There is nothing wrong in believing that. On the other hand, because I never saw Vitali hurt and his accumulative power was no joke, I would probably take him beating Wilder in the later rounds IF he could absorb Wilder's punch no problem.
