Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: I Looked into Wilder's Eyes - He is Scared, He's Worried!

I would be scared fighting King Kong with those spindly legs Wilder has.

What does that have to do with anything? Most boxers have little legs. It still didn’t stop wilder from knocking out every fighter he has been in with. Legs don’t make your chin tougher either. The only thing it can do is help Wilders KO power get even more dangerous.

Ortiz looking a lil soft though

The best fighting the best. All four of the top ranked HWs mixing it up over the next month. What more could we ask for? Great stuff. Should get a KO out of this one.

Looking forward to the winner taking on the winner of the other big one.

That’s all we can ask for as fans, totally agree. I doubt the winners fight each other next doe.

Hmm... wonder if this is why Wilder seems to speak of his daughter & Ortiz daughter plus reminder that he has a family stating ‘blessing Ortiz with the fight father to father’ Deontay has to run this one out with the weight difference.

Thin legs aren't usually a sign of good punch resistance. Wilder hasn't knocked out a top heavyweight yet. Hes come in light because he knows this is a long fight and he's going to be moving.

Ortiz will be dangerous at the very start of the fight, but ultimately I feel like once Wilder manages to establish some distance then Ortiz isn't going to have the reach or the footwork to impose himself. Once the fight gets past the halfway stage I also think he's going to start tiring badly and he's going to end up getting hit clean and knocked out. Ortiz is probably a little more skilled in terms of hand speed and punch variety but I feel Wilder has every other advantage.

Yes he does. I could have sworn that I saw pics of him training where he looked pretty ripped. When I saw the pics today I was like "What the hell happened?"

That was probably a clip from 10 years ago.

This is the second time that Wilder was going to try to fight Ortiz. In Ortiz's last victory Wilder went into the ring and challenged him, it was not the other way around.

If Wilder was so scarred he would not had pursued him so hard.

I read his camp feels strongly that Wilder beats Ortiz under any circumstances. I thought that was interesting. He's pursued Ortiz relentlessly. I guess they saw something on tape. We will see in a few hours if that was misguided.
