[dirty fingers]

Whois Ortiz?

[sugarsmosley]

Greatest HW title fight in years.

[garfios]

this is an eliminator with a higher fee...

[Hougigo]

Shoot... I was hoping they'd announce me

Can someone please explain to me why in the **** there is still a WBA regular paper title available after Wlad just beat Povetkin for his paper title in the first place the **** should not exist. This is ridiculous and the WBA should be ashamed for trying to pass this farce off as a world title fight smh. Now Povetkin can prance around as a fake world champion again.

Don't worry. He won't win.

Don't worry. He won't win.

Is Ortiz a sure bet to beat him? His comp's been awful. I saw him fight a couple of cruisers and not look so hot, but that was a while ago. Not Huck level cruisers, more like journeymen

Yeah he's been beast mode lately. Well... "lately" being the highlights they once aired recently since no network will actually fully televise his fights and yes his competition is awful definitely.

But hey, iirc, Goldenboy just scooped him up to fast track him to a title, just like this. So they must see something in him.

I am looking for something to say funnier than this news itself but I am drawing a blank.

This is actually a great fight. Don't know what you *****es are moaning about. It's not like it's a real title or anything. The winner will have to fight at least one fighter mandated by the WBA before getting a proper shot at the real champion so at least it will force fights through.

[Cleaver]

WBA. My god.

Good fight though, but that belt is a face palm.
