Chisora can still give the top boys in the division a tough night at the office whereby going off Ortiz last fight his legs and chin have deserted him. He's finished and will soon be a scalp on some up and comer's resume if he carries on.
Ortiz is like old Povetkin. Easy to knock down, but not knockout. Wilder took 4 knockdowns to fully KO him. Martin had him down twice, but Ortiz was not hurt. He's like Povetkin. He still has his skills and his power, but his punch resistance has gone. I think both fighters will be knocked down. I don't see either being KO'd, I think it will go the distance like the parker fight, except it will be closer. Ortiz to win by a shitty SD. Story of Chisora's life.
What's to say he wouldn't have been previously? Charles Martin is arguably his 2nd best opponent and he was also knocked down against his best opponent
We don't know if Ortiz could or couldn't as he hasn't mixed at the same level as Chisora Charles Martin is arguably his 2nd best opponent and he was also knocked down against his best opponent I wouldn't have been shocked if that had have happened had they fought 3 years previously
He was boxing extremely well against Wilder - enough so to make me realise that he would’ve spanked Charles Martin that night - but that right hand eventually detonated and took him out as it usually does if your name isn’t Tyson.
Do you think Chisora would last as long against Wilder as Ortiz did? I don't think so. Nor would he dominate the rounds.
Wilder is a different type of opponent though. I think Derek beats Ortiz at this point. Wilder and Ortiz are both untested against the other top guys so it's difficult to guage. Ortiz was able to outbox Wilder fairly easily before getting clobbered. Wilder v Chisora is a coin flip as it's Dereks pressure versus Wilders ability to land. We saw against Fury Wilder wasn't used to being pushed back and was unable to fight off his back foot. Derek isn't the most skilled but he does bring pressure and is fairly durable. Ortiz looked very vulnerable in his last fight so Derek has this for me.
Tbh many look like they were boxing well against Wilder before he catches them. I really think the Martin fight could have happened the way it did whenever they could fight in their careers to date. Ortiz looked to be winning the rounds he wasnt knocked down in. He was winning rounds when he first fought Wilder but suffered a Kd in the middle part of the fight. The reason I find it hard to say is that Wilder and Martin are arguably the 2 hardest punchers the Ortiz has fought as a pro and in all those fights he has been knocked down. Chisora was stopped by Fury in a draining fight and suffered a KO to Haye as well as Whyte
