"King Kong Ain't Got Nothin on De. . .ontay" Wilder vs Ortiz 3/3 SHOWTIME Fight Thread

[David_TheMan]

Not quitting is what puts people on the HOV lane to speaking a foreign language that only the punch drunk victim understands. He wasn't exactly defending himself either. It was coming whether this round or next.

Can't take the risk don't box

Hmmm

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Saw an interview of Paulie talking about Bevevidez sparring him like at 13 years old . Dude is destined for greatness , that young and polished already , sky’s the limit for the kid

Yeah skillwise, dude is nice af

Goodness, there are a lot of empty seats in Barclays tonight. Guess everything I heard about Wilder not really being a draw was right.

 

[Cladyclad]

Showtime doing a lot of padding of the run time

That’s why I was asking what time the fight start. I got showtime through Hulu. The program is over at 12:30. Two fights for 3 hours is crazy

He has quick reflexes though.. He gets out of range quick.

It's always seems like he's leaning forward but he's actually perfectly balanced..

He's tall but doesn't fight tall stance wise but his arms are long af so you're always at the mercy on the outside. It looks weird, I noticed it too

Yes he is balanced and slips punches well but I've never been a fan of a fighter not utilizing his size...

That was my biggest issue with P.Will, big dude that fought small and took L's because of it...

[David_TheMan]

Gervonta a c00n like his mentor/promoter

 

[NormanConnors]

I don’t think he ever reached his prime.

That mask

I hate that sh!t. Same with Danny too.

 

[ball15life]

Was that the Michael Jackson Dangerous mask?

He was always just "there".

Never even reached Berto status.

I agree.

I guess looking back, people consider his prime to be Froch/AA fights. However, he entered the super 6 as a prospect and was just getting started. After the S6, he was suppose to move on to bigger things,but his career was simply stale.
