Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: My Head Was Clear, Count Was Quicker Than I Thought

[Rip Chudd]

Only on here can a guy knock someone out TWICE and still not be the decisive winner.

The levels of re-tardaion on this site are reaching levels I never thought imaginable

It was disappointing to see the once great Bayless stopping the fifth so abruptly. Ortiz was fine to continue. It was the end of the round so he would have had a minute to sit down. The point is not that Wilder would probably have gone on to win, but that the fight was stopped too quickly.

He was down for 14 damn seconds..are ya'll serious?? HE GOT COUNTED OUT

[Larry the boss]

But like people say. There was a minute to recover. You'd expect the ref to take into consideration everything. That's what good ref does. Weigh everything up. That ortiz hadn't taken much punishment that's got to factor into it. That ortiz was 6 rounds up.
True, ortiz could get hurt, but anyone is one only one punch away from getting hurt against wilder, and so could wilder get hurt. So best not get in ring in first place, or better still why not just ban.boxing instead.?

He didnt beat the count man, use a stop watch..he was down for almost 14 seconds

I thought so too until I watched the replay. You have to start the count as soon as he hits the canvas. Bayless moved Deontay to the side and went into his count at 2 or so which is correct cause he wasted a sec or more moving Deontay. Gloves were on the canvas at 10.

I get what you're saying, but it was still a quick count. Not every ref count at the same speed, and none have a timer. Some take longer.. then extra time to ask them to move a bit, walk to them .. shake their gloves .. etc. None of that with Bayless who counted quickly. Now ... I think with the drama we've had recently, 2 fighters dying, refs may be quicker to stop it. But Ortiz had taken almost no punishment at all... and had he the chance to get back to the corner, probably could have continued. But we'll never know..

Why look into his eyes when his gloves were still on the ground at the count of 10? Go back and watch it.

Yeah, his gloves are on the canvas at the 10 seconds mark


But did Bayless count him out, or did he wave it off.

If you look when Ortiz has his hands of the canvas and is getting up, Bayless has reached the count of 9 and then when he gets up he waves it off. He never gets to the 10 count.

And it was the end of the round, giving Ortiz a full minute to recover.

Bayless only got to 9, Bayless never counted to 10, and Ortiz was up just after Bayless counted to 9 and before he could say 10.

Yet Bayless never got to 10.

He never said 10, you're out.

It not a conspiracy, it just want happened.

And if you look at the Wilder corner, when Ortiz is dropped they screaming for Bayless to wave it off.
