One of the great things about power punchers like Deontay Wilder is that losing rounds is absolutely meaningless to them. Deontay was behind 5-1, 5-1, and 4-2 on the scorecards against Luis Ortiz, who didn’t do a whole lot himself but landed the cleaner punches in the first-half of the contest. None of it mattered because it took one straight right hand for Ortiz’s soul to exit stage left. Wilder just has special power, and literally everyone he has fought in his career has been at least knocked down.
This was not a good fight to watch for much of the night, but that was the case for their first meeting before Wilder knocked Ortiz down in round five and all hell broke loose.
