QV 6.5 Rounds -125

RLeith35 · Answer

A heavyweight title instant classic gets a second helping on Saturday when Deontay Wilder defends his WBC championship against Luis Ortiz in a rematch of their 2018 tilt.

Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs), who avoided disaster by surviving a wild Round 7 in their first meeting before rallying to finish Ortiz (31-1, 26 KOs), will also be looking to protect a scheduled February 2020 rematch with unbeaten lineal champion Tyson Fury that is already signed.

Ortiz, 40, has significantly overhauled his conditioning for the rematch as a means to fix the mistakes he made in their first meeting as he looks to become the first Cuban heavyweight champion.

The undercard is in the books. It&#x27;s time for the main event and the &#xD;&#xA;heavyweight title rematch. Both fighters are finishing up warmups in the&#xD;&#xA; locker room as we draw closer to national anthems and ring walks.

RLeith35 · Answer

Wilder weighed in at 219.5 pounds and Ortiz came in at a ripped 236.5. &#xD;&#xA;Ortiz, 40, looks to become the second oldest fighter to win a &#xD;&#xA;heavyweight title after 45-year-old George Foreman.

And here comes Luis Ortiz as cameras follow him leaving his locker room and bouncing on his toes as he enters the arena.

RLeith35 · Answer

Deontay Wilder begins his ring walk with an elaborate white costume and mask with sparkling pieces of gold.

RLeith35 · Answer

A very, very slow walk to the ring from Wilder. You can barely see his &#xD;&#xA;eyes due to the elaborate mask he&#x27;s wearing. He pauses on the ring apron&#xD;&#xA; to raise both hands before stepping over the top rope.

RLeith35 · Answer

R1: Ortiz is cut above his right eye and blood is trickling down the side of his face.

RLeith35 · Answer

R1: Very interesting opening round. Give Ortiz the slight edge for &#xD;&#xA;landing the biggest punch and jabbing to the body consistently, 10-9.

RLeith35 · Answer

Replays show that the cut was caused by a head butt.

RLeith35 · Answer

R2: The pace remains very slow as Wilder slips in two jabs. Overhand &#xD;&#xA;left scores for Ortiz and he follows up to the body. Wilder needs to be &#xD;&#xA;careful as he is allowing Ortiz to paw and back him up to the ropes &#xD;&#xA;before firing.

RLeith35 · Answer

R2: Another uneventful round but give it to Ortiz as he landed the bigger shots to offset Wilder&#x27;s jab. 10-9, Ortiz

RLeith35 · Answer

R3: Ortiz hits a pair of body shots late. Good boxing from the Cuban challenger. 10-9, Ortiz.

RLeith35 · Answer

I&#x27;ve got it 3-0 for Ortiz early on. Good piece of boxing and great &#xD;&#xA;defense from the challenger. This isn&#x27;t too different up to this point &#xD;&#xA;from their first meeting in 2018 when Ortiz controlled the fight early &#xD;&#xA;as the better boxer.

RLeith35 · Answer

R4: Another round for Ortiz by outboxing the champion, 10-9.

RLeith35 · Answer

R5: Wilder slips in a right hand as Ortiz tries to get his legs back. &#xD;&#xA;Three-punch combo from Ortiz late. Give him the round despite being &#xD;&#xA;buzzed by a jab late, 10-9 for Ortiz.

RLeith35 · Answer

R6: Good defense from Wilder to cover up and block a three-punch &#xD;&#xA;attempt. They trade punches late. Another round in which the aggressor &#xD;&#xA;Ortiz did just enough boxing to win, 10-9.
