Message: [QUOTE="ssbriefcase, post: 3193629, member: 883"] So, that was a great night! There was a ton of energy in the arena walking around the concourse before hand. Seeing all kinds of stars, etc. So the crowd was pretty split on who they were rooting for. A lot of people around us rooting for Ortiz, of course I was Wilder. Didn't seem like a bad seat in there. I thought we had decent seats. As far as the fight, didn't really like what I saw from Wilder, but in the end it didn't matter. That KO was so fast and unexpected because of how the fight was going, there was a split second delay in reaction from the crowd it seemed. So last night we get an Uber from the strip and start talking about the fight to the driver. He starts saying he's a pro fighter, we're like oh yeah? Turns out it's Prince Alahdin, young lightweight 4-0 or something like that, and signed to Mayweather's camp. I started laughing like yeah I saw you fight before, turns out he was on an undercard with one of Kaleb Plant's fights on FS1. He comes out wearing a pharaoh head piece for his fights. He starts telling us that he's met Wilder and knows Ortiz and got to hang around Ortiz's camp for this fight. He said Ortiz's game plan was since he was beating Wilder in the last fight and got gassed towards the end, he'd keep his exact game plan but improve his conditioning. Said he thought it was a good plan, but said almost the exact same thing as SWC on Wilder, that he's so frustrating because he can lose rounds and lose on scorecards but win on a KO. Also said if you noticed, the KO came from a punch to the forehead, which shocked a lot of boxers because none of them had ever seen anyone get KO'd like that. He said believe it or not, forehead punches dont hurt that bad, so when that happened they were in Awe. He was in floor seats with the other boxers. He said they've been talking in the camps that Wilder has the hardest heavyweight punch in history. One last thing, when we were talking about Fury in the first fight and how he got up after getting rocked, he suspected Fury was on something. I've said the same, that wasn't normal imo. Highly recommend going to a high profile fight in Vegas. We already started looking at trying to go to the rematch with Fury in February. [/QUOTE]
