Comments Thread For: Wilder Details How He Set Up 'Masterpiece' KO of Luis Ortiz

[megh50]

Wilder just needs one punch. Until someone make him work for 12 rounds he doesn't need to change.

Spilka, and Stiverne in the first fight made him work. Problem is when you make him work, you're working as well, and sooner or later you slow down, but his power doesn't seem to diminish. A fight with Andy Ruiz should be interesting

Can't knock you wilder. They let you land them. So they're doing something wrong.
Ortiz was showing off outscoring you. But ortiz never landed Haymaker like that on you.

1995 in Berlin Germany

Ortiz was taking multi vitamins and heart medication between rounds.

I'm surprised to see anyone call Wilder a 'marketing genius', especially as he can barely string a grammatically correct sentence together and screams BOMBSQUAD when he doesn't have an answer.

If he was a marketing genius, his Breazeale fight would have been PPV and sold.

Tyson Fury getting off the couch to fight Wilder only sold how it did because of Fury - which says a lot.

No doubt, he has put on a couple of highlight reel KO's in his past two fights but he was extremely lucky to retain the WBC against Fury.

Ahh so you don’t like how he talks...you would have hated the majority of boxing champions of the past who grew up in abject poverty who didn’t speak “the Queen’s”

In general the people who seem to dislike Wilder - and there’s not many of them - are either Matchroom employees or British fans who have some nationalist loyalty to British fighters.

Bingo!!!!!!!!!

Wilder haters tend to be of nationalities and ethnic groups not of his kind. So what I propose is this.....for those of you who do not like him because he isn’t nigerian or isn’t british or isn’t Mexican.....would you be a fan if he was?

Nonsense.

I'm a Brit but many of my favourites are American.
Wilder's style is not for me, his opposition has been too poor for too long and his fans make too many excuses for it.

Simple as that.

So that performance was part of the plan? Looks more like his power bailed him out again than any real plan.

[OldTerry]

Ortiz was stepping on the outside and parrying.. or he was slipping to his left to avoid the right hand. The one time he didnt, Wilder hit him flush.

Wasn't an accident either!

Yeah everyone liked watching Mike, he had style. Course u have to be overrated to suffer the supposed biggest upset in boxing history. It’s not like it happened to someone else. Mike still never was as good as most thought, hoped, or said he was. So I’m glad not everyone is a Mike Tyson.

I'd agree that Tyson wasn't as great as many think he was. Still I feel that he never reached his potential and that was his undoing. After Don King lured him away Jacob's Mike began his downhill slide. Outside influences took away his focus on improving as a fighter. Because of that we'll never know how great he could have been.

[OldTerry]

Lose every round by doing nothing until opponent gets complacent and then throw and hope for the best. How great are his calculations when he misses by a country mile, which happens a lot.

The end results to his fights seem to say his calculations were superior to those of his opponent.
