Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz - Official For March 3, Barclays

[RedPath]

Good to see some decent heavyweights matchups in the pipeline

Wilder v Ortiz
Whyte v Browne
Bellew v Haye
AJ v Parker (tbc)

Once these have shaken out, some mouth-watering prospects for the summer and beyond let's hope…

Is Wilder going to be tested since they can't detect he uses weed

Pretty good question, considering how, especially since its noted on this forum that weed is a masking agent when taking PEDs...

Wilder wins easy, Ortiz has been sufficiently hyped to make some dollars but he’s yet another dud to pad Wilders record

I think a big strong Ortiz is a more credible win at this point than an aging Wlad might of been for Joshua. Not saying it's a bad win, just saying, Ortiz has the hunger moreso while Wlad already had 1 foot out the door.

If Wilder can beat Ortiz impressively, I'll definitely consider him the true heavyweight champ between the two.

Gotta respectfully disagree. A lot of people talk about Wlad's age but he looked incredible in that fight. He was bouncing on his toes and nearly finished AJ. He probably would have beaten any heavyweight in the world that night not named Joshua. That said, Ortiz would be a helluva good win for Wilder, just not sure it trumps Wlad. Peace.

I'm looking forward to this. Wondering if a convincing Wilder win will finally get him some respect.

I cant believe they cancelled the fight the last time. How many geniuses does it take to figure out whether ortiz had a prescription or not. With that being said im glad Wilder is finally stepping up and taking a real challenge. Now we can finally see what hes got because lets be real up until now Wilder has fought all bums and mediocre opposition. Stiverne was his toughest opponent and he was an out of shape tub of goo so we still dont know how well he can do against top tier competition. Luis Ortiz is a pretty good test but I think Wilder wins a decision. Wilder is a beast and has sick power. I hope this leads to a Joshua fight next or a whyte fight and then Joshua

I think its obvious it would because this is a legit top 10 heavyweight and his toughest fight so far. If he makes it look too good and dominating they will say Ortiz was too old just like did did when Loma fought Rigo, but before the fight they always say how good of an opponent it is. Couldnt it be that Loma is that good? If Wilder dominates like he did to Stiverne I think you have no choice to give him respect, Luis Ortiz is a huge undefeated heavyweight with 24 kos in 28 fights and knocked out Bryant Jennings and Tony Thompson. He is old but hes still knocking everyone out. Probably taking peds but i bet most of the top boxers do

No way this fight has any bearing on how AJ gonna smash wilder.....

Hopefully Ortiz doesn’t pop again for the third time.
Or forget to inform the commission of questionable prescriptions he is on.
