Dillian Whyte v Luis Ortiz - Both Agree to fight in December

[TitoFan]

I agree it's a good fight and am looking forward to it.

But it smacks as a bit hypocritical to be lauding Whyte for taking on Ortiz ahead of a possible rematch with Joshua, while Wilder was raked over the coals for fighting the same guy (who I might add was a bit "less old" at the time).

Not sure what you're saying there Tito, most give Wilder huge credit for fighting Ortiz and consider it his best win.

Not sure about "most", Alpha. I've read all kinds of stuff from Ortiz being on Depends, to him collecting Social Security, etc, etc.

It's obvious. If you're anti-Wilder, you'll disparage every single opponent he beats. Hell.... if he knocks out Fury, it'll be that Fury was never ready in the first place, blah, blah, blah.

I myself don't disparage Ortiz, seeing as to how he's been a historically avoided opponent. Also we all know that age in the heavyweights is less of a factor than in the lower weights.

That being said, I'm seeing Fury in a different light. I hated the Fury that together with Wlad provided us with the single most pathetic spectacle in the history of heavyweight championship boxing.

But I must admit if he comes to fight and uses all his skills.... it could be an interesting night. Not saying I think he'll beat Wilder..... but it probably won't be a 1st round KO.

Tough fight to call and much better than the rematch nobody really cares about between whyte and Chisora.

ortiz is a decade or two past it but still presents a hard fight for whyte who will likely be outboxed early.
he will have to finish strong and fighting at home guarantees he will get the decision even if he doesn't deserve it. The Parker fight was hard for whyte. He did something Joshua couldn't by dropping Parker but that first knockdown was from a headbutt and Parker fought dazed for the rest of the fight until he opened up in the 12th and almost finished whyte off.

youth should be th deciding factor here. The big fights have come too late for King Kong but he'll be dangerous from start to finish

Ortiz accepting the offer is meaningless, we knew he would. The question is will Whyte live up to his offer, for that I had 2 words days ago “doubt it”

Whytes gone quiet since Ortiz accepted 🤔

Whytes gone quiet since Ortiz accepted 🤔

Eddie said 11 hours ago that “Chisora is definitely the fight we want” and Ortiz and Breazeal are fallback plans if they can’t get the Chisora fight done. Tried to tell you all days ago they don’t want Ortiz.
