    Joshua gassed by blowing his load trying to finish Wlad, he wouldn't make that mistake again. He doesn't have Wilder's power because he's a more controlled boxer who doesn't throw bombs in the way that Wilder does. A man of his size and being a better boxer, plus not being 40 years of age.. all things being equal he should handle Wilder pretty easily.

    Whats the verdict then. Especially asking the big Wilder fans.
    215 pound Wilder?
    Can't be good for a 6 foot 7 man surely?

    Ortiz threw the fight. He realized if he becomes world champion he will have to report all of that income on his taxes and the government will take away his social security check and medicare.

    Wilder confirmed ringside at AJ vs Parker.
    Tyson Fury set to be there as well.
    Post fight if AJ wins could be epic.
    3 way in the ring shouting match.

    It doesn't make sense for Wilder to fight at that weight. It's not like he's Fury, dancing around the ring and outboxing people. May aswell put on some weight and add to the power he already has.

    And another legit top 10 on his CV.
    Ortiz is now his best win.
    Duhaupas
    BVerno 1
    Szpilka
    Washington

    3 top 10 wins....4 if Whyte gets passed Duhaupas

    I'm a Wladimir fan. And was def pulling for Ortiz big tonight.

    Too many parallels between Wlad/Joshua and Ortiz/Wilder for my liking. Both fights had me so pumped and sure of the result in a middle round. Both ended terribly.

    Yeah from the point of heart, drama and motivation it could be, but if you think about skills Ortiz vs Wilder is nowhere near those fights.

    That insane vid of Wilder at the press conference talking about "dat powah and dat magic in tha yulaverse" makes perfect sense to me now. I suddenly get it.

    Are you crazy? I'm not trying to compare Wilder's chin with Ortiz's chin. Read carefully before replying, O.K.?

    unfortunately ortiz was gassed in that exchange where he hurt wilder, and couldn't move much the following round. but its good to see even on twitter that most people see that wilder does not have skills at all and just has power and saw that the judges decided who the winner was going to be long before the fight was half way there.

    there is something in the current boxing scene that all these fighters lack and thats why people like wilder are making money and making a mockery out of boxing. joshua isn't a good fighter either but he's still better than wilder and isn't completely nuts like wilder is at this point.

    boxing still doesn't have that genuine once in a generational talent and persona.

    Excuse me for doubting the Wild One.
