Comments Thread For: Photos: Luis Ortiz Showing Off His Moves During Workout

Yeah...me too. When I saw the rumour thread my heart sunk so I started looking around for old pics. I like a lot of people have been waiting for this for years. I just hope the years havn't faded Ortiz...but he looks like he's in great shape for this. I want him to KO Wilder.

I know the feeling its amazing how this sport plays with your emotions.
So glad he's came in lighter this is the shape he should be in. He's looked a bit flat and uninterested in recent times.

I've tried warming to Wilder but I just can't everything about him makes me cringe & he seriously needs humbling. It'll be the most satisfying L since Broner got wrecked by Maidana.

I'm totally hyped for this fight. Here's a screenshot from a video prior to Dec 2015 fight with Bryant Jennings...

Should be good fight if Ortiz wins he will break Hopkins record for oldest fighter to win a world title.

Moreover, the talk here should be about how a guy who's probably more than 10 years older than Wilder and in his 40's is going to perform without his "go-go juice" since they're testing him out the wazoo, and what that does to a guy mentally and physically knowing that. He's not going to have the same stamina. He's not going to have the same power. That's not to say he won't have power, but what will it be like compared to before? These aren't small guys, so a little less can be detrimental (and I don't think Wilder is going to sleep on this guy, either--he's going to take it very seriously as he knows what a Joshua payday would be). The other contributing factor is they've both had pretty much the same level of opposition at this point, with MAYBE Wilder's being slightly better. And Ortiz is no Klitschko at that age, and again--NO PED's. So don't be surprised if Wilder knocks this guy out, but knowing all of this in hindsight, what will that even mean? If Wilder loses to this guy, that would be much, much worse for heavyweight boxing.

If Ortiz has an iron chin - it could get interesting!

What is wrong with Ortiz' left hand? I've never seen anything like it before.

Worse why? Cuz you think so?

If Ortiz wins he becomes the first Latino born heavyweight champion.

He’s gonna make history that coupled with him being the more skilled boxer but with ko power, he brings a lot to the hw Division.

Body becomes more to prone to injury following long term use of PEDs a la David Haye. Ortiz looks like he fractured it but he can't walk away from his final payday. He's getting put to bed

Ortiz looks like ****
