Amir Mansour: Luis Ortiz is 48! A 55 Year Old Cuban National Team Boxer Told Me!

[Motorcity Cobra]

Soon as Wilder signs to fight the boogyman..all the excuses come out

One boxing writer is even questioning why did the commission approve the fight because Ortiz is so old

Bit weird for wilder, punching a guy in the face thats the same age as his granddad. Kinda wrong.

Yeah I'm conflicted about it. How is NY even sanctioning this thing?

Ortiz is definitely not 38. I thought he's in his mid-forties but 48 is quite possible. The guy has over 350 amateur fights.

he had probably been lying for a long time through his entire amateur career. everyone knows cubans are experienced pros fighting 19 year olds, the incentive was to down play that.

everyone knows this eh? ...ACTUALLY, there are absolutely ZERO professional sports in Cuba ..i've been there multiple times and i've talked to a lot of locals about sports , if there was professional sports aka sports you're paid for ,why the hell would they float away on rafts to USA to get paid ? ..don't make stuff up and make lame terms like "everyone knows this" to try and diminish the superiority of Cuban boxing. now carry on.

were talking about amateur boxing/olympics...because you know thats all there is in cuba ..so read first before you come in here sounding like a fool.

THIS is what were talking about here.

What superiority? They get their asses whooped once they get out the kiddy pool.

and of course before you say they arent superior to america look at this first

"United States is about 89 times bigger than Cuba. Cuba is approximately 110,860 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km. Meanwhile, the population of Cuba is ~11 million people (313 million more people live in United States)"

Things that keep rising everytime it's talked about:

• Canelo's weight against Khan
• Jacobs weight against GGG
• Ortiz age

And the fish I caught last weekend.

just cut him in half and count the rings like they do with the trees

If that's true then I'm very impressed. A man pushing 50 who can still compete at the highest level. Remember this is a 50/50 fight.
