The Official: "King Kong" Ortiz vs "King" Malik Scott RbR Thread

[SN!PER]

Malik is the man.

This guy fights everyone!

I'm cheering for Malik, but I don't see this fight lasting very long.

You've gotta pack power to keep Ortiz off of you. Back him up, counter him, stun him, make him pay. Ortiz is beast. He's just gonna walk right through anything that Malik throws. He's gonna be all over him.

LOL. why shouldn't it?

LOL. why shouldn't it?

Because it's a terrible fight. Scott has had 1 fight in almost 2 years and really hasn't beaten anyone of note in his career.

Ortiz is a genuine puncher with good skills who we saw beat Jennings...but now he is taking like ten steps back for this fight.

I dunno, maybe it's a good idea in the modern heavyweight division lol

i like maliks tactics of growing a bushy beard to protect his paper mache chin.

Im sure Malik is going to put on a Masterclass and I would of picked a UD but slick Eddie Hearn is now promoting Luiz Ortiz and is now invested ; I don't have to tell you guys about his shady history of questionable/ suspect cards that hes promoted, fortunately Malik might get a break considering they are not fighting in the UK where Malik ( the AMERICAN ) was already robbed....but I have my doubts about this one poor Malik is not a gifted puncher to keep it from the corrupt officials.

I have literally no idea what you get out of this, you odd little man. Seriously, why waste your life on this? There's a big country outside your front door, and an even bigger world after that. Go, explore, be happy. Or spend hours of your life screaming "Corruption!!" every time some fringe contender from Trumpland gets knocked out by a fringe contender from [insert name of country that isn't the US]. Whatever. Your (sad) life, I guess.

Anyhoo, easy night's work for Ortiz before his even easier night's work on December 10th. Then on to a final eliminator with Parker for the winner of Roid v Robot.

Who else can he really fight right now though?

Look at the footage and notice how he gives long pauses during each number he counts out loud but when he gets to NINE and sees Malik getting up after clearly looking over to his corner letting them know hes ok and that hes taking the knee...but suddenly when he is about to rise that long pause is cut very short...any experience ref knew he was taking the full count and that his knee was off the floor before ten!!! I don't know where you are from but you are probably another gullible Brit.

Edit: also go to youtube and listen to the announcers acknowledging that Malik was winning the fight and could not understand what had happened....I know what happen.

I never liked this type of discussion: "who else can he fight".

It's not my job to find opponents for him but whoever does have that job is doing it badly if he/they think the only option is Scott. Do you think the only option is Scott?

Yank fighters..especially heavyweights love getting off the knee at 9 and a half. Youve had long enough to figure out that british refs want you stood tall and cohesive by 10 not just off your knees.
