What would you say to an interviewer after that? Would he act all big and proux like Safetypin Johnson did after the Vitali "fight"?
I havent seen one, but it wouldnt surprise me if he failed to comment about his performance; I could accept being outclassed and pummelled in a fight, but self pride would stop me from hurling myself on the floor and taking the counts he did....ive never rated rated him myself and now I will never respect him as a fighter, that was tantamount to cowardice the way he acted!!
I am still torn about the ref. Was he protecting Scott with those long counts? Or was he actually denying Scott an unmanly exit from the fight and basically signaling him "Go take your beating like a real man"
Don't think we'll hear from him for a long time. He said he was going to come to Manchester on Dec 10 to see Whyte-Chisora live. I hope for his sake he doesn't because he'll be laughed out the building.
Scott is a disgrace to the sport and should NEVER get a remotely top level fight again. I believe he took a dive against Wilder and then with Oritz he did the next best thing and ran all night. Disgrace to the sport and all the real fighters that lay it on the line.
Blame Eddie Hearn. People assume he was trying to showcasing Ortiz but that might not have been the case. Hearn is protecting his cash cow and this fight bolsters AJ's rep.
Pretty sure I saw something on his twitter where he basically said yes it was a shyte performance and bad fight. I'll be glad if he never appears on my TV screen again unless he is thinking of challenging Bolt.
