He was dominating the fight and got caught by a lucky punch

How come nobody said this about Wilder vs Ortiz 1 & 2? It seems like everyone decided to discredit Ortiz when he got knocked out in a fight that he was dominating but Whyte is supposed to get credit for suffering the same fate?

You boxing fans never keep the same energy

wilder often loses rounds before KO his opponent as far as i can remember

Povetkin set up that uppercut by getting good work to Whytes body in the first few rounds.
Luck punch ? No way.

Povetkin was beating Joshua before Joshua got lucky. Nobody says that either.

That's my point, the narrative changes based on who people want to discredit. Somehow in this same situation both wilder and ortiz were discredited. When it happens with whyte and povetkin they both got credit.

Wasn't a lucky punch at all. Was a set trap that Dillian fell right into.

If you watch, Povetkin was throwing to the body and switched to that uppercut when Whyte pulled his arms down,.

Whyte has been talking too much for years now. That's why most people were happy to see him knocked out.

That was a set punch, not a lucky punch.
