Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz, Jacobs, Lipinets Showtime Tripleheader in Play

[yankees7448]

No one has made Jacobs out to be the "bada$$ boogey man." He is only lil g's "bada$$ boogey man."

Not since GGG beat him. You can't be a boogey man if you back up all night and get dropped.

Man I hope Breazeale kicks Stiverne ass!

[Butch.McRae]

Everything i posted is in fact TRUE . It doesnt matter what papers he got ,he cancelled the fight entirely and it was found the levels in Povetkin were still UNDER the legal allowed amount from it being previously NOT illegal .

Wilder told Parker he had to fight Stiverne first .....who won that rematch which was announced Feb. 27th ? Only when Parker was scheduled to fight his MANDATORY Fury did Wilder call him out .

Its not bias ,in the real world we call it facts .

The funny thing is theres NOTHING official yet nd you guys are going into great depth on faith here when story teller Wilder history isnt exactly solid ground . One would think by now you guys would at least wait for an ACTUAL statement release ! smh


"And no HW has been trying to fight the other top guys but Wilder as of late. "

Your logic on the Povetkin failed test isn't even worth entertaining any more. If you receive notice of a failed test, the fight is off. Not that complicated. Which is exactly why he got the damages.

Next, your statement about Parker is wrong too. Wilder was in the dressing room with Parker before his last fight. It wasn't clear at that time if Fury would even get the title shot.

And lastly, Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports (probably the most credible writer on boxing besides Pugmire of the LA Times) reported on this Wilder situation so idk what "lying" you're talking about. He's the source on this story as well as all the others relating to Wilder v. Ortiz.

Yes it is a good Card but in the long run guys like Haymon are those who ruin boxing. Im not gonna thank that guy for anything.

He flew to Russia to face Povetkin in enemy territory when he could have easily faced Martin instead. Nobody should ever question Wilder's "balls."

When feasting on pure bums your whole career you deserve the rep you get for it. About time he faces someone legit damn near 40 fights in.

What a stacked card!!!

I'm happy that The Bronze Bomber is finally able to test his mettle against a clear solid opponent and show the world why he should be the next best thing in America as America's only heavyweight champ!

Ortiz is the boogeyman of the division as Joshua rather fight a Bulgarian that's shook of him instead of King Kong!

I'm picking Wilder to end Ortiz within 9 rounds, once your hurt and caught in that Windmill Storm of Doom it'll be over cuz the ref will have to save you from being carried off in a casket!

Gonna be a great fight!

Good to see The Miracle Man himself back in action! Thought Haymon should've gotten him right back active after displaying the best performance of his career in nearly beating the middleweight monster in Golovkin, the 160 boogeyman!

Him vs Andy Lee is gonna be really good fight! I'm taking Jacobs by 10th Round stoppage or even 8th!

Lipinets?? Ehh, he'd get washed by Bud so it's only right he fights someone like Postol!

AJ is fightig his 1 yr IBF mandatory just like people were crying about Brook fighting Spence after 1 yr. Oh now, the IBF mandatory don't matter. That's a double standard. Ortiz was given the fight Feb - Mar and plus an under-card fight. He is being setup. Nice advice from his team. A 40 yr old fighter out of the ring for ` 1 yr. That's a rusty, no tune up fighter vs a puncher with a fight and camp under his belt this year. He's a setup to get Wilder the big pay vs AJ. Oritz is an idiot. He tried to get step-a-side money, get the Wilder fight and keep his WBA mandatory all at the same time Where is that AJ ducking? Ortiz is an idiot, will come in the fight cold and rusty and get knocked out.

Good main event. Won't be interested in what Jacobs is doing unless he is fighting someone competitive. Andy Lee would not be competitive. Haymon needs to get Charlo and Jacobs in the ring together. Couldn't care less about Lipinets. He wasn't compelling enough to compete with Crawford, so he fights for the vacated belt. Not exactly a stacked card that these Haymon fanboys are gushing about.

[soul_survivor]

Ortiz is an old nothing and Wilder should outpoint him with ease. Still better than the usual trash he fights so its cool.

Can't really call it much fo a triple header until we find out who the others are fighting. LIpinets doesnt seem like much though and Jacobs is living off some robbery bs.

You think you slick like all the lil g fans saying for Charlo & Jacobs to fight each other so there is less threat for lil g. GTFOH! Jacobs & Jermall should both beat up lil g then they can mix & match fights how bout that!?!

Dawg we both know that unifications trump mandatories, and the wbc is very ******* when enforcing their rules, and also likely GGG wants to duck Charlo because for all the "I'm a fighter, not a businessman" bullcrap he's been making very business minded decisions.

GGG will want to fight Saunders when he beats Canelo, and he'll get the rules allow him to do that.

Are you saying Charlo should stay inactive while GGG has a megafight with Canelo and a big unification fight with Saunders for the undisputed heavyweight crown?

Just think about. Charlo would benefit from fighting someone like Jacobs. If he beats him better than GGG, then he proves that he has acclimated to the weight and he gets the hype an momentum needed to corner the wbc and GGG into making the fight sooner rather than later.

The media and the fans will demand the fight and GGG will have nowhere to hide. But if Charlo sits on his ass while GGG gets Canelo and Saunders, don't be surprised if he gets screwed over and doesn't get his deserved mandatory shot, or GGG retires after unifying with Saunders.

The media and fans are powerful tools to get what you want. Sometimes the rules aren't enough because they can be bent and/or exceptions can be made. Charlo needs the Jacobs fight to get the media and fans to rally behind him.

But if GGG takes the Charlo fight immediately after Canelo then yes kudos to him and I will eagerly anticipate Charlo's victory. I'm a Charlo supporter believe it or not.

But for Charlo to get the big fight GGG needs to win, and win convincingly, by KO. If he wins by KO then I doubt there's a Canelo rematch.
If the fight is close then there will be a rematch, and then he will unify with Saunders and probably retire afterwards, and Charlo will be sitting on his ass with nothing to show.

That's what I don't want to happen.
