Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Career Plan, Title Fight Layout Revealed By Hearn

[ShoulderRoll]

Ortiz bought himself out of his contract and contacted matchroom over a month before hearn signed him...

Common knowledge so i guess its a good job noones asking you...

You don't think someone was whispering in Ortiz' ear about how exactly to go about doing all that?

[Bigg Rigg]

Ortiz is looking like the real deal. He needs the opportunity to prove himself. I'm hoping he gets it real soon.

Luis Ortiz is a ****in problem!! Those uppercuts he hit Jennings with were brutal!! I'm hoping he gets something good thrown his way real soon too. And RIP Jose Fernandez. So sad to see him go so soon.

I have a feeling Hearn might pull a Brook move again and have Ortiz fight Wlad saying AJ and Wlad negotiatons couldn't be done in time..

Wlad wouldn't agree to it that though. Ortiz has nothing Wlad wants. No belt, doesn't generate money or have a big fanbase.

At least Joshua brings money and a belt to the table.

Hearn stole this guy right out from underneath Golden Boy's nose.

Very sneaky and crafty if you ask me.

I thought buying out a contract was fairly standard

I disagree that Ortiz brings something into the HW scene we haven't seen yet.. People are hyping him as the boogie man and all it takes is a step up in class and he will come short I am sure.. There are still things he does which the top guys can take advantage of, for example he hardly has a straight down the throat shot and does not use his jab enough to maintain distance.. Here is another thing, the dude hasn't been into the championship rounds, hasn't been landed flush.. You cannot be the next best thing if you haven't been tested yet..

You just described the deficiencies of Samuel Peter.

I was hoping WBA signs off the fight for a title as these guys #1 & #2 ranked by WBA

Definitely a problem. Cant wait to see if he's as good as I think.

I was in disbelief for a couple of days after Jose died. I followed the kid very closely. It was surreal to see him go.

Nice to have Baez and Lindor in the mix. Cubs should go all the way.

Well, Peter was more like Tua, a relatively shorter guy with good power but was not a good technician.. I have watched & re-watched Ortiz's last few fights & those were my analysis tbh.. That doesn't mean Ortiz isn't technically good, he is.. but what he lacks is what will work against him..

Golden girl steals fighters all the time

actually golden girl stole canelo and david lemieux from their real promoters..... Luiz ortiz was a free agent when hearn signed him..... Big difference!

Wlad has problems with guys his own size, there are levels, i.e. He will fight Wlad different, we all saw what he did too Jennings. Ortiz is quicker, awkward and a new style not seen in the heavys.
