If I was Eddie I wouldn't pay the fraud.

Joshua would've KO'd him inside two rounds. Ortiz isn't as accurate as I expected him to be.
Edit: Ortiz keeps hitting him on the back of the head and the ref keeps missing it FFS.

AJ would be easier to hit than the running man.

Weird fight, Now he's standing and trading more he's doing ok.

Not impressed with Ortiz at all. Not variation in his punches, no combinations and a very slack defense.
Edit: And as I say that, he gets caught

Well if this was supposed to be a fight to showcase Ortiz for UK audiences then it hasn't worked very well!
Facing a guy who wants an excuse to quit and hasn't been able to put him away!

Ortiz would get ruined by Klitschko, Fury or someone with a longer reach simply because he's so open to the jab.
Nah he wouldn't. Scott maybe, Ortiz ? absolutely not.

Ortiz is way too easy to hit, swings too widely, doesn't throw any combinations and is meant to be the best in the divison? WTF! Is this how bad the division actually is?

Eddie absolutely seething with Scott. Wont be seeing him on a matchroom promotion any time soon. He stole his wages tonight. As Eddie says, he wasn't even sought out for it, he talked them into giving him the fight. Disgrace.

Going off that performance by Ortiz there is no 'absolutely' to it. It was a poor performance against a fighter who imo has found his level and it isn't competing at the top.
Crossed my mind a few times. That said Ortiz is getting on now so maybe he's just getting past it.

All of the talk before the fight was about how good Ortiz was and how many rounds it would take him to KO Scott. I doubt many people would've heard of him before the fight, outside of the normal punters that regularly watch boxing, so Hearn would've wanted a spectacular KO to increase his earning potential for future fights.
What we got was one of the most boring fights of the year between a slow, one dimensional slugger and a long distance runner.
I very much doubt that would've impressed Hearn or the paying public or would've inspired them to want to pay to watch another one of his fights in a hurry.
