48-47 on all three cards indicates a close fight, and it wasn't a flash KD either. Scott even admitted it was a good KD. Although I agree it was a "British" stoppage, I don't like this having to beat an 8 count, it's a 10 counter after all. I also agree Ortiz is more consistent...consistent in fighting bums
So you're saying his 3 1/2 best wins are Wladimir and Wilder. His last win was Whyte who you'd all make out he was ducking if he didn't bother fighting but he's ducking tall blokes and short blokes give it a rest. I'm sure if he had to he would have fought Ustinov. Fact is he was only a late replacement anyway.
I'm not bothered what the scores were Scott was winning clearly. Ortiz didn't lose that many rounds in the whole fight.
No, it was Chisora who pulled out. Chisora who has never beaten anyone decent aside from a final round hail mary against 40 year old Takam. you are simply exposing you didn't follow boxing at the time. You wanna dig through the back pages here and you will find the quote. I'm not wasting my time as i don't care what you think or believe.
Worst version of Wlad? So he was better 2 years later when he'd been inactive for 2 years? Or early I'm his career when he was getting knocked out by PE teachers.
"on a resume level, Ortiz isn't even an equal to a clear gatekeeper like Chisora" Ortiz's 5 best wins: 6th Ring ranked Jennings, non-green Martin, Hammer, Scott, Thompson Chisora's 5 best wins: Takam, Scott, Johnson, Price, Gerber Ortiz has 2 losses to a historically long-reigning champ and historically great puncher, has lost very few rounds in his career, 91% of his wins came inside the distance Chisora has 12 losses (several controversial) with losses to Kabayel and Whyte, was outboxed by Takam and Scott, 72% of his wins came inside the distance No boxing fan who wasn't trolling or didn't have some kind of weird agenda would claim that Chisora had a better record than Ortiz Chisora has got a lot of big fights because he was not regarded as a dangerous opponent (which is obviously true judging by his number of losses) whereas Ortiz has been avoided because he was dangerous, as ironically Chisora acknowledged himself: "Ortiz is like a southpaw Mike Tyson". Even recently we've seen Andy Ruiz (the fat guy who destroyed AJ) trying to wriggle out of a contracted fight with an officially 43 year old Ortiz! Now imagine he was officially 38 or 33 rather than 43...
LOL whatever helps you square that circle mate. Media cards agreed with the official scores. Scott wasn't clearly winning anything. And as others pointed out Ortiz was dropped by a jab against Martin. It wasn't an easy fight for him. Both Chisora and Ortiz are decent competitors. But no one any champion should be holding up as their defining win.
