As bad as the HW division has been, the division itself can't afford to drag out potential big marchups. Ortiz will definitely get an immediate push.Quote:

Looks like Jennings was riding high...a little too high after his "impressive" loss against. He thought his same approach would work for him. Didn't work out that way. Almost no head movement at all.
Chagaev vs Browne is like a C- level fight, Kong vs the winner would be a total waste of time. Kinda doubt Wilder will be in a hurry to sign for this one, though it would be an awesome fight. Hard to know what should be next for KONG. Whoever he fights, he should definitly shave his head and wear diaper style drunks, then crawl during the ringwalk with an enormous rattle. If I were his promoter I would double his purse to do it.
You're a bit of a deviant aren't you?Quote:

Thats because Tyson has said it himself. Not that he would give him the most trouble specifically but that hes in the who needs him club. Very good but would not generate big money. Tyson has had his eye on him from afar.
Nice fight. Ortiz is a classy fighter & on that performance is right up there.
I wouldn't give chagaev or Browne much chance against him. As far as natural talent goes he may be the best heavyweight on the planet. I think a povetkin vs Ortiz fight would restore everyone's faith in heavyweight boxing
Ortiz was impressive (as far as heavyweights go). Two weeks in a row we've had good heavyweight fights. Amazing.
I expect Wilder and Fury's mob won't go near him with a barge pole.
I thought Jennings would have eked out a decision in this one. But Ortiz has power AND tremendous skill. Something you don't see much of in the HW division anymore. I guess if we want to have real, birth-born heavyweight champions, we have to look outside of America with these manufactured heavyweights and look to Latin America, the Caribbean and some parts of Eastern Europe.
I don't think Wilder would be able to take Ortiz IF Wilder has been struggling with the likes of guys like Duhappas and Molina.
:cool:
The problem with cuban heavyweights is while in Cuba they are poor and live and breath boxing. As soon as they leave Cuba they seem to over indulge and not train. Ortiz is gifted but he still looked lazy last night. He could have stepped up and taken Jennings out early but was happy to have breaks with Jennings leaning in on him.Quote:

MAybe, but does Ortiz not look like a giant infant?Quote:

LOL your smugness is failing you.Quote:

Yeah he reminds me of a mix between Foreman, Holmes and even Berbick... All with the face of Laurence Fishburne ;DQuote:
