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 .Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
