Comments Thread For: Jarrell Miller: Wilder is Scared of Ortiz, Didn't Really Want the Fight

[Madison Boxing]

yeah i agree with miller. do i think wilder is terrified of ortiz? No. He took the fight in the first place. But i think hes seen a get out of jail free card with this PEDS thing, and hes got the opportunity to fight someone who he knows he will beat and hes took it with both hands. if team wilder were so desperte to push things over the line, why did they look for a new opponent so soon? Even on the day of it they were trying to get a new fight made. They didnt even wait a day so im not buying this bull**** that team wilder did all they could to get the fight on. People also need some perspective on what ortiz did, he took a legally prescribed blood pressure tablet. Thats it. Get a grip guys ffs, the fight should still have happened.

I say that the fight should have still happened as well. The WBC themselves have been inconsistent in rulings on illegal substances and was quick to strike Ortiz from this fight when they just added him to their rankings a couple weeks ago.

Amazing that they had Stiverne as their replacement when he was supposed to be the opponent for Wilder in the first place.
