38 is bullsh-t but Ortiz still KOs Wilder.
Thought you were on about Wilders transparent win record not Ortiz age at first.
Really a F about time heavyweight showdown, love it! Not fully convinced of eithers chin but think Ortiz has the composure and hands to leave Wilder flailing all over the ring. Regardless really is one that you will have to watch standing up.
Will this be ppv in the USA?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
He just hasn't set himself up to get that exposure....not sure who his manager is but fucking get Floyd Mayweather Jr on the phone STAT get Wilder some press! Get some eyes on him....he's an undefeated power punching heavyweight and an American one at that...unreal. But part of the blame has to be his opponents, he has Stiverne, Arreola, andon his record.....Americans can be cynical when it comes to this, we've seen Jeff Lacy, we've seen Gerry Cooney, we've seen Michael Grant, we've seen guys get built up and built up and built up only to wither once the spotlight hits them.
The heavyweight division is still recovering from wlad in the us.
The English have been bumming the fuck out of AJ since he turned pro, and lets be honest until Klit AJ had fought absolutely no one of note, his biggest fight was a grudge match with a pillow fisted unknown (getting beat by AJ was the best thing to happen to Whytes career)
AJ had the luxury of Sky, they backed him from the off and they build his media profile to the point that it was ludicrous, when you have Sky on your side over here you have millions of fans almost immediately, as soon as you get beat they lose interest.
talking of the Sky build up, the casual fan in the UK would have you believe that Linares is up there with the P4P's and that is only because he KO's matchrooms fighters for fun.
I'm not knocking AJ here, I'm just stating how different it is over here.
Just be grateful that DDD is with BoxNation and Frank Warren otherwise he would be fucking global already
I'm glad we aren't so accepting of mediocrity here. We get great fights because of it. Wilder wants to be popular, make the right fights. This is a start. AJ can sail along for free but Wilder will have to work and that's how it should be. Speaking of, is AJ planning to fight someone good after he gets done with Pulev? I remember talk from AJs side that the Wilder fight needs to marinate 💩
