Comments Thread For: Wilder Weighs in at Only 214 Pounds; Ortiz Comes in at 241

When Wilder was hurt he was there to be hit and stopped by letting his chin in the air and hands down. But Molina didn't do ****. He just waited until Wilder recovered.

Wilder chin is the worst kept secret in boxing. Harold sconiers, a complete bum had wilder knocked out. He was just too exhausted and out of shape to finish him. Haymon scrubbed that fight off the internet, but research it to see what a hype job wilder is.

This honestly doesn't mean much. If anything, it speaks to how he has been training in the gym. It will help him the later the fight goes. Conversely, Ortiz looks like a guy who should be at around 233 or 234 lbs. He will fade if this fight goes rounds.

Being 6'7 and 215 is not a good idea ,bc Ortiz is not the slow washed up guy ppl are making him out to be . Bettors should be more confidant who pick Ortiz .

That’s exactly what I think happens, I think he boxes very similar to Stiverne 1 and wins a decision. You make a good point that Ortiz is the more technically skilled but I think Wilders physical advantages allow him to keep the fight at range. The fact that Wilder has come in light suggests he wants to be more mobile as well.

214 pounds though. Hopefully team Wilder knows what they are doing cause this could very well turn into a nightmare for Wilder. I'm excited, that's for sure....Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Wilder's getting sparked, he won't be used to this weight, he will be depleted.....first flush hook from Ortiz gonna stun him....party ovah!!!

It hurts how uneducated Wilder sounds.

According to Wilder he's very intelligent, so put some respeck on his name

Wilder getting plastered by Harold sconiers. Sconiers is a 20 loss journeyman who is 6'2 205 lbs when he fought wilder. A cruiser weight.

It's interesting how we're constantly debating weight issues in fighters below the Cruiserweight division. How will they fare in a heavier class? their rehydration process, looking drained on the scales etc. Yet, we debate very little about weight differences on those over 190 lb.

It's deemed dangerous for welters to jump to 160 and particularly LHWs going to HW, yet we don't blink when Heavyweights are 30-40lb apart. I imagine most people will have David Haye (217lbs) vs Nikolay Valuev (316) in mind when talking of extreme differences in weight.

In this situation, I really do feel that the 27lb weight advantage can only be good news for Ortiz tomorrow evening.
