Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: I'll Stop Joshua in 8, Klitschko Let Him Off The Hook!

Ortiz is definitely a risk.

[SN!PER]

In 8? If he's predicting it will take that long, he's not very confident.

Ortiz is right about Klitschko letting Joshua off the hook. He tried to coast to victory rather than applying pressure. Not to mention he was swinging wild after he knocked AJ down and missing everything. But give AJ credit he did what he had to do to get the W. Klitschko even at 41 was a live dog and a decade long champion

I fully agree with the stressed part above.

And I would add that Klitschko was ****** not to go for the body. I didn't notice EVEN A SINGLE PUNCH of Wladimir to Joshua's body, and that was utterly ******. You have a guy who is totally out of gas, out of breath, very vulnerable, just knocked down heavily by a single shot, and you go, at 41, swinging JUST TO THE HEAD and missing like crazy? Had he started punching Joshua's body relentlessly, he would have had no need to try to snatch his head off.

Let this be a lesson to Klitschko himself if he plans the crazy adventure of a rematch, or to anyone who watched that fight and realized that Klitschko WASTED AN OPPORTUNITY that any other boxer would not have wasted. Attacking the body was the key. Joshua did it and won, Klitschko never even tried, and therefore he deservingly lost.

100% agree with this, bad stoppage imo

You could see Wladimir in the post fight press conference where he basically was saying it was a bad stoppage, but wouldn't go into it, he was just being classy respecting the decision and fair play to him most others would not have done this.

Regardless of the bad stoppage, I wouldn't mind seeing Wladimir calling it a day or to have one final hurrah in Ukraine with all the fellow massive Ukrainian named fighters like Usyk and Lomachenko to recap and end a legendary career.

Who calls out their mandatory? And what do you mean no stalling anymore he's held the title for three days please tell me at what point they've stalled.
The wba will give him extra time as mandatory aren't enforced on super champs so unlucky mate looks like you'll have to wait a while to see your dream fight.
A klitchko rematch, fury, wilder and Parker all more attractive options.
Ortiz had his chance. Was signed by matchroom to build the aj fight and had two stinkers. If Ortiz really wants this fight labouring to a boring points win over the likes of Malik Scott isn't going to cut it anymore.

Sure you don't have some more excuses? If this would be such an easy fight, maybe your guy needs to hop on it for his next defense? LOL

It's not about easy defences it's about making the most appealing fights. In the U.K. Ortiz is best known for his David Allen and Malik Scott fights im sorry but that's not appealing. Plenty of better options.

Options: Excuses in boxing lingo.

If Ortiz was in there with a live dog like Joshua, he'd show his worth. Guaranteed. I have no doubt whatsoever that would be the case. It would be one of the greatest litmus tests in current boxing.
