Wilder v Ortiz

Recorded it and saw it when I woke up. I thoroughly enjoyed the cat and mouse. Am not going to elaborate in case people have still to see it
 
Did anyone think the ref delaying the start of the 8th when Wilder was still shaky was a factor at all, or was Ortiz equally happy for the breather?

Could be a case of managing the situation. Leave your stool acting a bit groggy and hope the ref reacts and he did. Another trick they could have used is the extra Vaseline on the face ploy. Ref sends him back to clean off. Those xtra seconds could be important. Definitely helped him in my opinion

And mine,IMO the ref did know what he was doing.
