Comments Thread For: Wilder's Coach: We Can't Lose Focus For a Second With Luis Ortiz

[ashadam]

40 fights and wilder finally fights a good fighter. Ortiz by easy KO.

What fight you talking about Ortiz is long past it.

[greeneye99]

Strategically waited out? Ortiz Just recently became Wilders Mandatory and he fought him right away. Wasn't he Joshua's Mandatory before he was Wilders and Joshua didn't want to fight him, wanted to fight Pulev. How is this anything like Canelo GGG? Canelo literally dropped his belt to avoid GGG. You just sound dumb.

Get your Facts straight
Ortiz became the mandatory after Joshua was signed off to defend his IBF belt

[techliam]

Ortiz vs Scott has shown that Ortiz isn’t some wrecking ball

I expect the Wilder from the first Stiverne fight to show up

[greeneye99]

Lol yea he has 2 mandatories and you and me both know Pulev was the easier choice of the two. Ortiz was his mandatory before Pulev. Wilders a *****? how hes fighting Luis ortiz March 3rd unless he gets caught cheating again. Like another top fighter who Wilder was going to fight in his hometown. Its like you all forget that Wilder was going to fight Povetkin lol

Nope
Pulev was mandatory long before Oritiz

[greeneye99]

When did wilder say he wasn't ready for Klitschko? I have seen him on video calling him out.

JOSHUA MR I'M NOT READY TILL 2020 LMAO you're kidding right?

If you believe whyte would beat Luis Ortiz you don't know **** about boxing. Whyte can't even knock out Helenius who got knocked out by Duhaupas who Wilder beat btw. This dude is known for getting knocked out by Joshua and going through life and death with Chisora. Sit down kid.

Are you new to Boxingscene?
Didn't you see/read the interview with Wilder's manager Shelly Finkel?
I'm not ready yet need a couple more fights.....
smh

King Kong is gonna smash windmills hand with his face and laugh while doing it!

I always wonder if the windmill wilder deploys is cos his reconstructed hand can't deliver more than a couple of decent power shots so he resorts to clubbing ?

[nacho daddy]

he's a 45 years old inactive grand pa...

will Ortiz's grandkids be in the audience?

Just like GGG-Canelo two, this is a fight with good names, but not a good fight, because one of those names has been strategically waited out until he got old in each of those matchups. Boxing fans who support either of these events or hype them up to their friends are part of what is ruining the sport. Ruining great matchups by waiting until the B-side is 35 to 40 years old should be one of the most frowned upon things in boxing, but somehow in today's ducker era, certain boxers, promoters, and both premium channels have tried to normalize it and legitimate it.

It's not legitimate. In fact, it makes the fights, and their predictable results, totally illegitimate in the annals of boxing history. This would have been an amazing fight three years ago, and guess what, Deontay Wilder was already 29 three years ago. Completely in his peak, with experience to boot. The end of his peak, really, truly, his absolute peak, his best years, just like Lomachenko and Crawford just absolutely peaked at around the same age. Ortiz would have been around 35, slightly past his prime already, so Wilder already would have had an advantage, and Wilder would have been at his ultimate peak. The perfect time to make the fight. Heck it could have happened 5 years ago to really make it an even playing field. But at least 3. To wait this long is an insult to boxing fans and a total disrespect to the history of the sport, as well as to Luis Ortiz and his team and family who deserved more of a fair opportunity in this fight. Same goes for Canelo-GGG.

beautiful post and 10000000% right and sums up modern coward boxing

[nacho daddy]

Who has wilder ducked? Is it really that difficult?

Klitschko "I'm not ready"
Joshua "give me 50/50"
Whyte "give me 9 mil"

That's just the start ...

More importantly it's who has he faced , who did he take on instead. and so far has fought no one.

On a side-note, Ortiz could and would have fought Joshua had he chose not go elsewhere instead. It was made clear to him he was next after pulverized.

Klit Bros..... do you miss us yet? these bums that have the titles and the top ranked HW's would barely qualify for sparring partners for the Klit Bros. what a disgrace the HW picture is

[vitali1999]

Hey idiot, Wilder has the sexy, more recognizable WBC you nit wit, and your girlfriend ducked and didn’t accept the challenge, get out of here and hide punk

You ****** bastard. Wilder is garbage
