Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
It's not possible that Ortiz will win because then it will derail the AJ fight. Too much money involved to sacrifice.
I don't know what to make of Wilder. I hated him at first and then sort of was in all of his power then I hated him again and now I am wondering if he is a nut job just like Tyson Fury and that he has psyched himself into never losing ever and therefore he may really be in here for the Long Haul but I think he will go into Hollywood movies in the next two to three years after making a hundred million in boxing and retiring undefeated
Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
Wilder weighs in only 214 lb. Very light for such a tall fighter.
Ortiz looks deadly serious.
I thought Wilder would win this easy. Maybe it will be a closer fight.

Imo wilder is going in with the same mindset as the 1st Stiverne fight. He knows he can't box with a guy with Ortiz' skills so he has to use his superior speed and movement.
Ive jus watched an old interview with wilder where he was saying you have to beat Ortiz by moving and not standing with him. Judging by wilders weight it's obvious this is what he's going to do. He also mentioned the Scott fight and Ortiz inability to cut off the ring. That was two years ago too.
Ortiz was a little heavy and I can see him struggling to close the distance in this fight, However I'm gonna go for the underdog to pull off the upset. And the new....
Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
Prediction: Wilder will win by KO/TKO in the 7th to 9th round.
Ortiz is too old, too slow, is shorter with a shorter reach, and is an easy target because he doesn't have good footwork any more. Besides, Haymon's officials including the referee will be there to help Wilder if needed. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a too-quick stoppage in favor of the American.

ortiz is listed as having the longer reach
then again he is also listed as being 38 years old

That sounds racist when u say American like that, this is a formal complaint
Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
Wilder at 214 shows he wants to use a lot of movement, that's his best option. Can Ortiz cut off the ring?
Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
It’s crazy that he is only 214. He is very tall and that is very light for that weight. He is probably about the weight of some cruiserweights. I still think he wins pretty easily. He will use his jab and Ortiz won’t throw much and Wilder will stop him in the later rounds.
Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
I don't know guys, i think Ortiz can pull this off. He steps in and out great, and just like that right hand down the middle is dangerous for a southpaw, that left down the middle is dangerous for an orthodox fighter. IF he steps out on a wild right from Deontay, he can catch him with straight left, right hook combos all night. And it may be sneaky, but the Kong got power.
Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
Ortiz hasn't looked impressive in his last couple of fights, Wilder getting outboxed by Washington and Szpilka has to be concerning for Wilder backers. Wilder fought a perfect fight against Stiverne the first time but we haven't seen that form since. Coming in lite shows Wilder wants to box but I think he has fallen in love with his power and his skills have suffered for it.

Re: Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3
To be honest Ortiz is getting older , but he is more dangerous than most of Joshua's opponents .
This guy is way better than Carlos Takam , this will tell us a lot about Wilder , KO KING OR PAPER TIGER.

Right I'm off to bed for a few hours, I'll be watching this rather than the BoxNation card because I can't record Sky Sports so I can watch the Kov and Bivol fights tomorrow morning when I wake up.

Go to bed, I've had Ortiz at 5/2 and only you know that.
