Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder-Luis Ortiz: Crossing Fingers (and Toes)

[cally93]

Good fight if it's happens, it'll be wilders first legitimate opponent (not that he's not tried) hard to say who will win both can punch, I'd say Ortiz has the better skills, but he's inactive so I'll go for a wilder late stoppage.

Just read in fight news and tuscaloosa news that Stiverne missed a VADA drug test. A missed drug test counts as a failed drug test according to VADA.

I wonder if that will affect Stiverne's mandatory status?

I hope Wilder/Ortiz pushes through.

Usually i dont hope for bad stuff like that but this time ill make an acception

We can hope. I think Wilder is the favourite over Ortiz now. America fighters undoubtedly get the rub of the green with the judges and refs, which must be taken into account.

Wilder vs Joshua/Fury makes more money so Ortiz is already fighting an uphill battle.

Not to say Wilder can't win cleanly though, he's got game changing power.

...as if UK fighters don't get the same in their soft country.

Wilder doing everything he can to keep hold of his belt. First he wanted Briggs if he took a drugs test, declined Hearns offer to fight AJ on the pretence of not enough money but will fight for crumbs and go looking for a 40 year old Ortiz who was avoided like the plague by Yanks years ago. American HW division has gone ****, seriously.....no one outside Alabama knows who Wilder is. HW champion of the world my arse. I'd wager my life savings more people know AJ in the US than Wilder.

That's AJ..he's the one that will beg Fury to get off the couch rather than get his slow...tired ass...KTFO.

That would be a great fight.

Wilder better keep that right hand glued to his chin.

This is actually an easy fight for wilder IMO, Ortiz is a counter punching HW, & against wilder he will fail to get inside because wilder keeps him at a safe distance with the jab & gets him out of there when he lands a clean straight right in the 7th or 8th. Down Goes Ortiz #Andstill & bring on Joshua

Wilder jabs??? I Thought he just threw windmills??

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Wow - Bumsquad could actually have 2 wins over legit highly regarded ranked HW in almost 40 fights! Maybe he can even fight Ortiz in a large legit boxing venue..like Vegas or NY.. instead of a Barn in Hicksville, Alabama!!

Why do I get the feeling they picked Ortiz in the hopes he will fail a drug test? If anything, Wilder/Joshua needs to be made.

Good fight if it actually happens.

If Wilder beats him they will discredit Ortiz
