Good and bad, you’re right.
I’d have to lean on the good side though. The truth is Wilder can’t outbox guys like Ortiz or Fury, so why even try to box with them and leave yourself open more? - Wilder doesn’t need to do that because of his equalising power. His style v Ortiz actually keeps him out of danger for the most part.
So i’d say it was a smart performance, he played to his strengths, as limited as they might be.
It’s risky of course, it would be a very risky gameplan against a fully fit Fury that can move for 12 rounds. It’s easier to get away with it against Ortiz who slows after 5 rounds. But really, that’s why Wilder v Fury is an intriguing fight isn’t it?
