Not sure why Ortiz seemed so nonchalant with the defense there. Like he got lulled into a false sense of comfort with Wilder pawing at him.

Would never feel comfortable in the ring with someone with Wilder's power. He doesn't even seem to put that much effort in the punch.

It looked like it was set up by wilder pretty well. Wilder threw a few big right hands earlier on and was blocked cleanly. Those rights were a bit looping, the right that put him out was straight down the middle. You could see ortiz anticipating that right like the previous ones but bam, right in the middle. Great job by wilder, he doesn't look pretty in the ring but knows what he's doing and uses his ability well

i really want to see wilder vs AJ

The camera angles sucked for that finish. The camera shots I saw were from behind Ortiz or behind Wilder. I wanted to see where Ortiz was looking because it sure as hell didn't look like Ortiz had his eyes up at all.

Strong turn of momentum...Ortiz had just been getting his best offense off leading up to that finish. I thought Wilder was hurt in the sequence leading up to that too.

What a brillant right hand, wilder played defensive all fight and one right hand was all it took

Thats how lenoxx lewis fought too. Whats up with bodybuilding.com being boxing haters calling this dump the mma forum?

[VinnyPazRules]

Pretty dangerous to be losing that kind of weight in preparation for a fight, when it's mostly muscle

looks like he's off the juice to me?

[Uhyeahokay]

Boxing is hitting a sweet spot right now while MMA is on the decline. Boxings back baby!

Missed the fight completely last night. Good to know that right piston is still going strong. Puts Wilder as the firm favorite in the Fury fight.

Facts. MMA will never be as entertaining as boxing

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man...

Figured that fight was last night, but couldn't confirm so ended up missing it. Watched the highlights, and it didn't look like Wilder was getting beat that bad as some people suggested. He just took his time in there and took the right opening and opportunity. At first glance, that right didn't look that hard that put Ortiz down, but when you see it slowed down from angles, you can see more the power behind it, so it kinda makes sense. I also like how Wilder was working on his left hook more, which I've always said he should use more in his arsenal. I hope he keeps that up, it'd be very useful in a rematch against Tyson Fury.

Pretty genius of Wilder taking one from Tysons playbook

Heavyweight boxing is the best boxing

Want Ortiz to come back again stronger

He would've won too if it continued

[jfindon]

I think Wilder said it best when he said something like "They have to be perfect for 12 rounds, I only need to be perfect for 2 seconds."

The reason this works for Wilder is that he does manage to avoid heavy damage in the fights that go long. He rarely gets hit clean with power shots. In the Fury and Ortiz fight I can recall only once in each fight where he took power shots for a sustained period.

Otherwise you're not looking at a long career in the HW division.

Anthony Joshua has regained the unified Heavyweight title to become a 2 time heavyweight champion.

Andy Ruiz Jr weighed in 18 lbs heavier than the first fight and even says in the post fight interview that he wasn't prepared.... 1 hit wonder? It's almost as big of a disgrace as Buster Douglas' first defence of the title after beating Mike Tyson.

Ruiz looks utterly terrible from these highlights

Joshua came with a solid game plan and stuck to it. Good heart coming back after a nasty KO loss, warrior mentality for that. However he needs to stop ducking wilder!!

And Ruiz abandoned his game plan completely from last fight. Kind of inexplicable, really.

[Mogambo]

Nothing genuinely bothers me more in the sports world than athletes squandering opportunities/talent. Hope Ruiz enjoyed partying. He will be/is forgotten soon enough.

[adamsz]

the Charlo/Hogan fight last night was way better than AJ/Ruiz 2

I actually thought that Ruiz would win the rematch, that is if he came in at 100%

then I started seeing the reports that he was just out spending money buying new cars every week etc... then I had serious doubts, and yep he fked up bad. Joshua shouldn't give him a 3rd fight, why should he when he won so convincingly and Ruiz didn't even prepare for his first title defense...

Joshua winning is good for boxing, he looks the part, and has more charisma than Ruiz

[Purfected]

So boxing has started back up, and most of all major sports are not being played

as a result there is boxing events being shown on sports channels twice a week

you would never see these events being aired if there were any major sports being played right now so I like it.

Although it is whack as hell watching fights with no crowd. It's like watching sparring tbh lol

Charlie Z got in there with him

I don't have dazn subscription so I can't watch it

[Purfected]

Usyk beat Chisora

[q0c0p]

Chisora had the right gameplan. Being the way bigger fighter he was mauling him early. Nice pressure but he was just out boxed. Lol at women's boxing.
