    At he's age I think it's a mistake to come in too light. George Foreman made that mistake for Qawi. Came in at 235 and said he lost strength. Remember Ortiz is 6 4.Its gonna be very interesting.

      I'm not saying your wrong but Ortiz is listed as having the longer reach.

        Wilder is in tremendous shape, you can tell he took this bout as serious as any other. Ortiz is going to sleep!!!

          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.

            ORTIZ would of been wise to cut down as much as possible to adapt to the slimmer,faster and hard hitting WILDER. The bigger and slower he is the easier the fight for WILDER.

                Wilder is trying to show AJ how small he is, 214 is a small HW.

                  It won’t matter but he should be making a conscious effort to put on weight

                      **NEWS FLASH**

                      My strategy for ORTIZ would be for him to trim down and be as fast as possible. 241lbs might be to his detriment. That's what I meant about cutting down folks. Speed kills and WILDER has that along with power.U can bet the bldg that Ortiz is eating very well tonight and early tomorrow for physical and mental strength and might be 250+ it won't surprise me one bit.
