Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Lands Alexander Dimitrenko For March 5 HBO Headliner

I have no ***ing clue who that is but I guess it is a stay active fight and hopefully he gets the winner of Chagaev vs Browne next. I remember something about the WBA ordering Ortiz vs Chagaev late 2014, not sure WTF happened with that but Chagaev been magically getting away from Ortiz for awhile now which is kinda strange

It's a bum fight. The WBA ordered Ustinov vs Ortiz but Ortiz is scared

Dimitrenko is getting streamrolled. Ortiz can't get any of the top guys to fight him and the way he destroyed Jennings just scared them off more. Steverne team agreed then backed out of a fight in oct. And it's not just the top belt holders who refuse even the middle to outside the top 10 heavyweights are refusing to even negotiate money. Their promoters and managers see Ortiz as too much a night mare matchup. 1 punch knockout power, a big friggin southpaw who doesn't just need to slug he can also box, with a boat load of Olympic and amateur pedigree. Gonna have to take a stay busy fight and chase these chumps down to force them to fight him.

Here we go. Do you guys use this excuse anytime a fighter you like consistently takes sub par opposition?

There are 59 heavyweights ranked higher. HBO loves the "this was the best fighter available excuse". He didn't even make an offer to his mandatory.

They're ****** to put this fight on the same night as UFC 196: Conor McGreggor vs Rafael Dos Anjos.

[IMDAZED]

At least he's staying busy. He doesn't have many options. Imagine him against the Fury-Klitschko II winner.

[HanzGruber]

Why DC? Lol guess it'll be at convention center. too bad everybody will be watching ufc that night

Dimitrenko only lost to Pulev, so not that bad of an opponent selection.

It's tough to get opponents for him when they all duck him. But It's only a matter of time before the bigger names have no choice but to face him.

He lost to Eddie Chambers too.

Typical excuse making.

I was hoping Luis would somehow fight a ranked opponent next, but I knew no one worthwhile would show their face for a March 5 date. At least Ortiz will get some practice fighting a very tall heavyweight versus the 6'7" Dimitrenko.
