I dont really see what all the complaining is about. If Ortiz wins he deserves to be number one just as much as Wilder does. Ortiz really should be top 10 with most organisations.
The main is a fun fight. But for a wba belt is a joke, and that's the point. The wba heavyweight ranks are an embarrassment with the reg champ just being out boxed and near clowned by a semi retired Fres Oquendo. Kayode being maneuvered into the top 5 without fighting or beating anyone at heavyweight...and ahead of the number 1 ranked Wilder mentioned. On strictly level of opposition Ortiz would deserve lower top ten I think. I like the guy. But certainly higher than the wba current top 10 hvy...Antonio Tarver .

Lopez was entertaining, raw explosion and all heart. But the kind of entertaining he shows now is damn scary. He is a spent shell and just 60 days off a beating where his legs were locking, the punches were wide with little on them and his chin bobbing around like a buoy in the wild blue sea. I hoped he would rethink coming back, at the very least this early.
