Wilder-Ortiz set for March 3

[imp]

Ortiz was supposedly born in 1971.

Is this really the best opponent of today's heavyweights?!

Wilder is dreaming if he thinks he could take Tyson in his prime..

I expect Wilder to win within 4 rounds.

47? He looks old but not that old surely.

I can see why wilder is on odds on, he's faster, in his prime and has great power. He "should" be able to win this comfortably on points if he uses his jab and moves. We saw ortiz struggles to cut the ring off when he fought Malik Scott.

Despite this I'm actually going to put a few quid on Ortiz. The odds are tempting. He's the better schooled fighter in a toss up fight. Wilder hasn't perfected his technique and he leaves himself wide open but his level of comp haven't been able to exploit this. Ortiz can. He's a natural counterpuncher who has the longer reach and fight ending power. Jennings wasn't hurt by wvladimir but was regularly hurt by Ortiz before getting knocked out so that tells me Ortiz can hurt deontaywhen he catches him.

if luis Ortiz was in his prime he defo wins IMO only concern now is his age.

Being born in 1971 does not make you old ...well maybe if you are boxing

I was watching fox business news today and wilder was being interviewed by Stuart Varney. I didn't expect that one. Part of the interview was about reviving the heavyweight division and having these guys become household names again. Varney mentioned Wilder was getting 50 million for the fight, anyone know if that is the right figure? It sounds very high. Wilder stumbled over a few big words he tried to use but he seemed very pleasant. Say what you will Wilder is fun to watch. I'm going to miss the fight live as I'm working, this could be to quick of a fight to justify the night off. It is very good to see some movement in the HW division, hats off to Wlad but damn I was sick of him

Is Ortiz still with Matchroom?

[Spicoli]

I'm at the point with Wilder where I just want to see him hit hard square on the chin and shake it off. It's insane that for a heavyweight near 40 fights the question is still unanswered. Closest I think was Eric Molina causing him a stagger and Harold Sconiers dropping him a lifetime ago. Yesterday Ortiz was using "if I preform...." but today he's trying to muster the tough talk. Fact is he will have to stand in and trade, punch between the windmill of Wilder to land his own lumber very early on and not sold that he's willing to do that.

[Alpha]

I can't stand Wilders big mouth antics, or his terrible form inside the ring. I'm hoping Ortiz' medication can pull him through this big time.

The way Wilder acts he does come off as a little bit 'touched'. And who names themselves after a Bronze medal .

Derevyanchenko on undercard really being fed a no hoper. Wonder if they are prepping for a Monroe Jr fight.

Bronze is more PC than Brown I suppose

I think they're just keeping Derevyanchenko busy after Andrade pulled out of a December fight I think and then out of the negotiations entirely.

This is the annoying part, you have Derevyanchenko, Jacobs, Charlo, Saunders and Murata all fighting roughly a month apart of each other but none are fighting each other. This tip toeing through the tulips stuff needs to stop.
