Comments Thread For: Wilder: Everyone Avoided 'Boogeyman' Luis Ortiz - I Blessed Him

[Bronx2245]

AJ definitely swerved Ortiz, even when Ortiz was signed to Hearn! Glad to see King Kong get a shot to fight another champion!

The left hook on the temple obviously threw him off kilter. Especially coming from a guy with Wilder's size and leverage.

Stop it. Stop it right now.

Stop it. Stop it right now.

The right hand didn't connect much at all but the left hook absolutely was a temple shot.

If you've ever been hit there you'll understand.

Wilder is coming towards his 10th year as a pro. This will be his first against someone universally recognized as a top 5 fighter.

No, that came against Stiverne over 3 years ago.

Yeah and how long has Wildher been a pro? AJ has half the fights and already has a soon to be first ballot HOFer on his resume. He is gonna unify titles in half the fights. What was the hold up with Bum Squad? You delusional Haymon hoes crack me up. A fight that almost happened earns nothing towards respect and recognition. It is gonna be hillarious if Ortiz wrecks Wildher tomorrow. People like you will disappear for weeks lol.

The hold up is that he broke his hand in the Stirvirne fight and had to take a couple of tune ups to ease his hand back to full health.

Then he broke it again and tore his bicept, therefore also had to take a couple of tune ups to get back.

Wilder has however jumped in with a top 5 heavyweight when he has fully recovered each time, not his fault said opponents took peds.

I said universally recognized, not by just one rankings group.

For example the Premier Boxing Organisation had Stiverne ranked 6th.

Wilder gonna eat some punches tonight. Hopefully the old man puts him in his place.

PBO has computerized rankings. They are even less relevant than BoxRec's. Stiverne was rated #3 by The Ring and #4 by TBRB. They are the only two meaningful ratings bodies in the world. Stiverne was a universally ranked top 5 heavyweight when Wilder fought him in 2015. No amount of revisionist history will change that.

I've sparred plenty rounds against guys who can crack...and a slapping left hook like that doesn't do ****. Arm is almost hyperextended lol cmon bro. Stop it right now. That was a thrown fight, plain and simple.
