He showed head movement and slip,rolled and weaved a lot of Ortiz's shots..Best defense I have seen from the guy

You can't be serious, his technique was awful! You're supposed to slip a southpaw jab to the left, not lean back and to the right like he did all night. No great defense, just pure reflexes and athleticism allowed him to avoid punches.Originally posted by larryxxx.. View Post -
Wilder was literally saved by the bell man, almost stopped. I thought the ref was going to jump in...
A younger ortiz would probably toy with him...
Defense was not his strong point manComment

A bit harsh. Wilder is unorthodox but he has improved a bit. He used his unique physical attributes to keep him out of harms way for most of the fight. That's no small fight against an experienced, strong puncher like Ortiz.You can't be serious, his technique was awful!

The only time Wilder got hurt (seriously) was in an exchange which can happen to any fighter no matter their skill level. Matter of fact when Wilder was hurt he had the wherewithal to move forward to smother Ortiz rather than lean back in attempt to avoid more punishment.......Comment

Yep. I thought if there were just a few more seconds in round 5 I believe after the knockdown it might have been over. Ortiz didn't look right for a few seconds there.Originally posted by larryxxx.. View PostComment
