Hopefully this fight happens because wilder has clearly got 10-15 fights too many on his resume with only a handful of respectable opponents , and many on here (except those just trying to defend him) have said that.
I think he beats Ortiz quite easily to be honest, he is well Overrated what I've seen and his last 3 fights he has been awful, he is now on a big lay-off too.
I really hope after this Wilder doesn't revert back to a completely easy fight, taking on a Whyte is a real
Obvious move for the summer and will help him
Move away from his reputation for avoiding fights. It also helps to build up the Joshua fight, will is more likely to happen early 2019 in my opinion.
Sure he beat Jennings but he's looked like sh1t ever since.
That fight was 2yrs ago a lot can happen in 2 yrs especially to an already old fighter.
Chicken legs by Kayo, Ortiz is way too slow and ponderous.
He is old and hasn't beaten anybody.
That doesn't change the fact that he's one of the top rated heavyweights and thus this will be a fantastic fight to watch.
Think Wilder will be too quick for him, but there's always the chance for Wilder to get caught by an overhand counter from Ortiz an then it'll be a case of can Wilder take it?
He handled Jennings and Thompson like no one else had.
The funny thing is you f*ggots give Ortiz LESS of a chance now that he was revealed to be taking roids again than you did before we knew he was back on the regimen. Silly little pack of b*tches you are.
it was revealed he was taking heart medication. without that medication he would be dead. lets hope his kids let him out of his retirement home on saturday night so he can fight.
That would be a legit excuse. High blood pressure ****s you up if you don't take meds.
Yeah but it shouldn't be an excuse for any professional athlete. What's next, he needs a walker to get to the ring?
I think the fight gets made and I think Wilder beats Ortiz.... but Coppinger was the one to break the news on Matthyse vs Broner on the Cotto vs Lemieux undercard though, right?
Hope it comes together so that AJ fans can scream that Ortiz was old and never beat anybody.

IF it's true, then wilder has my respect. Ortiz is easily his best opponent to date and is durable and dangerous. I look forward to it.
Agreed man, not a Wilder fan but credit where it’s due, very few fighters would take a high risk, low reward type fight as a voluntary
