It was there all night, right jab and then left body, right body for Ortiz. He was fainting, getting in out brilliantly and really frustrating Wilder I thought. That was until Wilder managed to catch him, before that moment the fight was a ridiculously one sided fight. I've lost count the amount of times I've watched Wilder and said it's a good job he's got that power because his boxing skills are average at best & even with his padded record, in so many he gets out boxed by anyone with a decent skill set.
Wilder tried to play it down after the fight, talking about him finding his range and throwing stuff out to get a feel of Ortiz but you could see when Ortiz caught him he'd throw the big ugly overhand shots that were miles away. Tbh just before he caught Ortiz I thought Wilder got hurt, his legs seemed to go after a left rattled him but for some reason Ortiz didn't keep the pressure on and 20 secs later the fight was over.
Only 30 seconds prior to the knockout Ortiz seemed to have him but as you said he didn’t keep the pressure on. I recently saw a video of Wilder sparring with Haye and he couldn’t get near Haye! Like you said it’s lucky he’s got punching power.
