To be honest I didn’t think it was a knockdown at all, he just launched forward and completely missed and took himself over. Watched the replays and couldn’t see anything from wilder which suggested a connection. (Referring to round2)

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostA lot of us on press row gave Wilder round two. But it's possible we were influenced by the knockdown. Which you can debate whether we should ignore a clear knockdown if the ref misses it. I scored it 10-9 Wilder, but a reporter to the left of me scored that round 10-8 Wilder due to the knockdown being so clear from our vantage point.

Did he also score the big Ortiz round 10-8 Even though Wilder didn't go down?

Bomber and Ortiz put on a classic HW drama show but you wanna talk about scores that didn't matter?

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostFirst of, this is not to discredit Wilder, who put in the work and pulled off a terrific win, although I think he showed just how open he is and how poor his defence is.
THIS is a thread about the fact that the judges had Wilder a round or 2 up going into the 10th round. If Wilder never got the stoppage, they were planning on robbing Ortiz on the cards...I mean WTF!!!!
This is the yet another big fight in the US with judges being bought out. I can't think of a single high profile bout in recent times where this hasnt happened (GGG/Canelo, Kov/Ward all come to mind). This **** is getting out of hand.
Ban the sport in the US if it continues.

That's the politics of boxing. Wilder vs Joshua is a huge fight and Ortiz wasn't going to upset that. The fix was in but we've seen this before. Jacobs said the same thing when he was robbed against Golovkin and no one batted an eye. In both cases the fight was close enough to justify the BS. Let's be happy the stoppage took away the robbery perception.
