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

[STREET CLEANER]

One of the few fights out there for Wilder and some here are already ****ting on it.

Bermane Stiverne missed a drug test recently, which doesn't look good for him after getting caught already. I wonder if VADA/WBC will do anything more than slap him on the wrist. I hope, but don't expect, this gives the out needed for Wilder to go to Ortiz.

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.

It's probably all bs as usual for Wilder's team. Bermane Stiverne nor his team have been contacted apparently, and neither has Luis Ortiz, so why is this story being pushed out?

We already know that Deontay Wilder's team floated these same bs stories during the Povetkin fiasco, with pretending to want the fight, then behind the scenes trying to avoid it, until being basically forced into it.

"Multiple sources say that Haymon tried to make a title unification bout between Wilder and Martin but the WBC refused to release Wilder from his obligation to fight mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin. Then, in a further effort to protect Wilder, an overture was made to Team Povetkin to see if the Russian would fight Martin instead but the Povetkin camp said no." - Thomas Hauser, Al Haymon article, page 5.

I heard his team sprinkled Meldonium salt on Povetkin's steak one night at dinner so Povetkin would test positive.

I heard Wilder still has not landed from his last flight...I mean fight.

And he wasn't fighting on two weeks notice purposely didn't put in the work for biggest chance in his life

maybe stiverne made more money losing then if he won. he would not have lasted as champ anyway
