Ortiz is a little past his prime but like Savigne he keeps himself in good shape, my money is on my countryman...

Im confused - vacant WBA heavyweight title ? This is whats killing the sport, the WBA is so $ hungry - these other organisations better check these fools.. in a minute it will only be about the matchups the title will hold no weight

I'd hate to know I had to fight Kayode. That's like a maze of flailing and swarming. Kayode, Porter, Bika need to go back to their home planet Zoinko and learn how to actually BOX.

The belt hasn't hold any weight for over 20 years only the Ring, and this has lost some lustre since dlh bought the magazine.

I love the WBA. Wladimir is the Super Champion. They just had their vacant regular title contested for on July 6 between two very worthy challengers, Ruslan Chagaev and Fres Oquendo. Now their vacant interim title is being contested for 1.5 months later between two more worthy challengers, Luis Ortiz and Lateef Kayode. I wish more sanctioning bodies were like the WBA.
