Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Luis Ortiz Will Not Be Suspended, Retains His Ranking

Why the **** did they scrap the wilder fight then ?

Well.... crap. Why dump him from the Wilder fight then? (That Stiverne rematch is 3 minutes of my life I will never get back and interrupted some good NCAA Football.) If he can prove he has high blood pressure and was just ****** on forgetting to fill out the form correctly that asked what meds he was on, he should not have been dropped for the fight. If he can't, he should be suspended. Period.

Easy work for Ortiz. Wilder would run and get beat like a running mule.

He had genuine prescribed medication. It was a simple misunderstanding by the looks of it. They gave him the forms in English when he doesn't understand it. More worrying is that a boxer with high blood pressure fighting. That could be a big medical concern.

Yea must be really hard for a guy to translate some text these days right? I'm pretty sure he can afford to hire somebody to look over his papers at this stage of his career, and if not he can get his fat ass onto Google and translate it himself. TERRIBLE excuse for somebody who has already failed in the past, I don't buy it. What tests were done to prove those things were in his medication, not seeing that at all...so they just taking his word for it then?

They turned up with the form while he was training and needed to be filled out then. The form was in English and French languages he doesn't understand. His trainer filled it in and Ortiz signed it.

If that medication is for a genuine medical condition then he should get a pass.

It was obviously going to show up in the test so why would they leave it off the form?

Makes no sense.

Let's get it on then if it was a simple misunderstanding!.

Have Ortiz get a tune up in January or February and fight Wilder if AJ and Hearn tries to low ball him in a unification!

Wilder gonna send him his retirement gift in the form of the right hand!

[jaded]

WBC took him out of the fight just before it's scheduled to happen...only to allow him to fight again as if nothing happened pretty much right after the Wilder fight with Stiverne is over. What a joke. They should have just let him fight.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Wilder vs Ortiz sounds good to me.

[Sickmerch1990]

Lets hope we see wilder ortiz in march if aj takes parkers belt rather that than wilder whyte
