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

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Who Jacobs winds up fighting will say a lot about him. Is he the bada$$ boogey man GGG's haters make him out to be or is he the guy who is content with not getting KO'ed?

Yea he should face a welterweight somebody like Kell Brook

Lipinets vs Regis Prograis - MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

I bet this main event breaks the live gate record for Barclays.

Wilder sold 12.6k tickets at Barclays with Spiizka. I could see a $1.2 million live gate for this scrap.

That's a bit unfair to say Wilder sold 12.6k tickets with Szpilka... around half the fans there were Szpilka fans!

Oh man, I love Lee...one of my favorite fighters. I think Danny would much for him. Danny is too big and athletic for him, would probably maul Andy en route to a TKO. Then again if Andy is allowed to unload some clean shots he could probably kayo anyone.

I favor Jacobs to beat Lee by kayo myself. If he stays disciplined and has a healthy respect for Lee's power he can I see him wearing Lee out and stopping him in the mid rounds.

But Lee's best wins all came from counter punches and if Jacobs gets wild and allows himself to get clipped it could be nighty-night for him.

The only other good match for Jacobs I would want to see is him vs Charlo but I doubt it happens.

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!

I hope this card is pushed back into the first or second week of December for the following 2 selfish reasons -
1) UFC 217 is also on the same night as this and that card is absolutely stacked with 3 world title fights, the return of GSP, a grudge match in Garbrandt and Dillashaw and another top fight in Masvidal V Thompson
2) I want SHOWTIME to end the year with their classic stacked cards. I remember SHO ending 2010 with a **** with Hopkins V Pascal 1 in December I think. I remember the double quadruple headers in the first 2 weeks of December 2013 - 1st quadruple header was headlined by Judah V Malignaggi then the week later, Maidana bummed Broner. I want that again

Who says Showtime still won't? Errol Spence may close out the year for them.

Wilder vs. a roided Cuban tank. Should be fun while it lasts.

I've criticized Wilder in the past but this is all I really wanted him him was for him to step up and he is doing that so I will STFU about it now. I think he beats Ortiz and if he does he is 100% Legit IMO with ZERO Excuses!

Stiverne has to prepare well because Dominic Breazeale is a good boxer.

[BoxingFan85]

Sounds very promising.. if they put JAcobs against a good opposition it would be an exciting night..
Brazeale vs Stiverne should be good till it lasts.. and Wilder vs Ortiz is an awesome
e fight..
