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

It wouldn't surprise me if Wilder was juicing before and choose not to risk it for this one and it cost him those 7 lbs. It's not like a skinny guy like that would all of the sudden be training so much harder at this point to drop 7 lbs...he already had good cardio without any fat to lose.

I don't think a guy who is a very lean 6' 7" 220 1/4 lbs is going to benefit from the weight drop...he probably could make cruiserweight. I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be Ortiz's night.

Same here. If Wilder does win though with no BS I'll give him respect.

Yep definetly have too Ortiz is no joke imo.

It hurts how uneducated Wilder sounds.

good thing this is boxing and not a English test right?

[Calibaloc]

People saying Wilder will lose because he's light seems more to me like wishful thinking. the hate for Wilder is Hilarious to the point were people are bringing up how he speaks lol. I just hope for a good fight. And I hope that Wilder gets his props if he beats Ortiz. BUt I HIGHLY doubt he will.

I was thinking the same

I like the fact that he comes in light in this era of HW, this is like the throw back weight for HW’s

[sicko]

Why so light though, I'm am surprised by that. I don't see where being Lighter Helps much in the Heavyweight Division but we shall see tomorrow the reasoning and what is his Gameplan

Maybe he plans on Boxing From the Outside and working off of his backfoot and using that jab which wouldn't be a bad gameplan

200lb torso, 14lb legs.

He's came in light because he's planning on running like his buddy Malik did.
He's going to run, stink out the joint, try frustrate Ortiz into running into something ******ed he threw from row Z
