So Wilder 85-84 through nine rounds (5-4 in rounds).

 

I was going for Ortiz. However, at the end of the 7th round I knew he was finished based on the way he slumped on his stool.

 

Nah he still had a good 8th round.

I just think he was fighting against a loaded deck.

 

The only reason he had a good 8th round was because Wilder was still recovering for a final stand.

 

Tbh, the fact that the judges all gave Ortiz the 7th round 10-8 tends to mitigate against the suggestion that the fix was in. I don't disagree with 10-8 but it also could have just been scored 10-9. It was pretty much a 20 second burst by Ortiz in that round with maybe 5-6 really clean punches.

If you give Wilder 5, 6, 9 (which might be questionable but I think Wilder probably takes it for rattling Ortiz late), and one of the first 4 (as I scored it live I thought round 2 could have gone either way) then you have it 5-4 Ortiz. Ortiz was knocked down and Wilder wasn't. So you could either have it tied or Ortiz ahead by one point.

 

There is no way in hell Wilder was ahead at the stoppage. That doesn’t even make sense.

 

I had it 4 to 5.
1, 2, 4, 7, 8 Ortiz.
3, 5, 6, 9 Wilder. 10/8 round for each of them.

If Ortiz had survived the 10th he would have lost that round 10/7. It would have been 94 to 92 on my card. Nothing really to complain about.

 

Ortiz was going to be robbed if he'd lasted another 7 minutes and the fix was in. It's sadly what you expect though especially with Joshua and a mega million bonanza waiting.

 

First 4 rounds shouldn't have been uninamous since they were so close without a lot of action, if there's corruption it's in the fan scoring. Ortiz got the benefit of the doubt in round 7, which should not have been a 10-8 unanimously, maybe one judge but not all 3. Doesn't matter, Ortiz got knocked the **** out like I said he would.

 

I almost missed it because I had read somewhere that it was PPV.
Decided to make sure and there it was!
Maybe it was PPV in Europe?

 

Where is the Wilder Josh fight going to happen? England or the USA?

 

One would think that should have been obvious.
