Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Inks Promotional With Matchroom Boxing

It sound's maybe too simplistic but as soon as AJ lands on him flush, it's over.

And that's coming from someone who thinks AJ is a flat footed hype job. Wlad isnt suddenly going to re-invent himself (again), it's not just the age, i would actually favour Wlad in the matchup if it wasnt for the fact that he is simply gunshy.

And that isnt going to change V someone who is a much bigger puncher than Fury. If anything he will be even MORE scared to throw. And then ontop of that, you got the well known chin problem...

TKO win for AJ and then expect the line of failed NFL fatties to start again, beginning with Gerald washington.

The only person Klitschko was gun shy against was Fury, and that was because of his movements, footwork, feints and jab. Joshua doesnt have that and would be right there for him. He doesnt have the footwork or head movement to cause the same troubles for him.

I like Joshua but I think Klitschko knocks him out at this stage of his career, and it will prove Furys win was good as it was.

Not important who he signs with but he needs to take this seriously and lose some weight get in shape and use the talent that He has & dominate this very weak division...

Take out the bumericans then fight the true king.

This explains why Ortiz' team was in such a hurry to get out of their contract with Golden Boy. I suspect Hearn whispered in their ear and dangled some money as an incentive.

He's trying to put a stranglehold on the heavyweight division and monopolize it.

Good move by Ortiz. The big guy will be in meaningful fights soon, which will be bad news for all the duckers if he gets his hands on a belt or two. They will have to come see the talented cuban.

I wouldn't doubt it. Love the intrigue. Lol Plus, it would make Ortiz's move look like genius compared to Rigo and Gamboa.

Thanks for saving me having to write exactly what you just said. Fury is completely unorthodox for a tall heavyweight. haye/ povetkin/ pulev all got out jabbed and dismantled. Joshua has fought aged, slow and fat opponents not many whom have a good jab.. He's had no tall athletic fighters like pulev or wach to prepare for wladamir or even a fury

Ortiz turned down Roc Nation to sign with Matchroom. He will be on the undercard of the Kovalev/ward PPV had he sign with RN. That would've been one sick PPV had he done that.

Overall signing with Matchroom is a better choice as Matchroom can get him better opponents imo.

Im confident Hearn keeps him busier than RN would do so i think Ortiz made the right choice.

[Canelo and GGG]

Maybe ortiz will get some fight done,he can make some good match ups with top HWs.

[KillaCamNZ]

Wow this comes out the blue.

Guess he'll fight Whyte and winner gets Joshua.

Oh hell, do you want to get Whyte killed? Please, no. As much as I don't like the guy, he doesn't deserve to die.

Besides, why would Hearn give Whyte a sniff at a rematch with Joshua? All that's going to do is steal a few quid from a few drunk UK yobbos. Joshua has an IBF mandatory and probably a unification fight with the winner of Parker/Ruiz before anything.

No one wants to see Whyte/Joshua again, right? Besides the fact that Whyte doesn't deserve it.
