Calling it now, Wilder doesn't see the 10th.

This will be the first time Deontay faces a real fighter (+ who isn't a police officer or construction worker by trade)

Can those chicken legs hold up? I doubt it.

Or a 5th Ave Wino

Thank the heavens someone else can say it for a change... Very well said Juggy, very well said.

To me the central question of this fight is whether Wilder will remain a one handed fighter. Ortiz can avoid one punch all night. If Wilder is able to show he has put it together enough to work off his jab, and throw combos it may be a good fight. If it goes to the cards unfortunately the judges will probably give it to Wilder unless Ortiz wins by a great margin.

But there is a very good chance that Ortiz exposes Wilder.

JUgs you will remember what they say in training..."during a crisis we all revert to our lowest level of attained skill." While Ortiz has been in boxing rings for a long time, Wilder is a relative newcomer and if he starts getting wild because he is being hit and forgets to do the things he has improved upon... It will be a long night for him.

The Whyte /Joshua fights are easy picks for me .


This one not so much .


Even if Wilder comes at 220 its VERY light . People can say weight doesnt matter but hes 6'7 and can be easily hit off balance which is why if Ortiz uses his stiff arm body jabs its going to make Wilder reset the entire fight .

Wilder at 214 /215 ????? Im going with Ortiz , when you look at the actual Wilder punch counts he lands to get the majority of his opposition out of there since winning the belt , i find it hard to believe Ortiz is going to just fold so easy again IF he comes to fight ,which im assuming he will .


Ortiz is a great ring cutter , a fighters foot speed can easily be nutralized if someone has COMPETANT ring IQ . You would think Ortiz is on his death bed and has stopped traing for 3 years with some of these comments . lol

You would think after the Klitchko fight it would have educated ppl more where title fights you always expect the best versions even if they dont show up.



In a rare circumstance im reversing my pick , this is a fight Wilder needs to show me he can win a high end fight at 215 .

Your right he is very light for this fight. Wilder does need to set to throw his big punches.

What is Szpilka ranked ? 20 ? that small southpaw gave wilder trouble for 9 rounds.....now we have the highly skilled , big soutpaw Ortiz , with power and a longer reach stepping in there . Ortiz by ko within 7 !!!

You said it yourself.

Meaning, no one knows how he will respond to his first big test, including yourself.

[daggum]

i'm glad wilder is fighting all these morbidly obese people. that should teach them a lesson. there's not enough food to go around stop being selfish!

[Graz]

This is Wilder’s first credible threat. Ortiz’s age may be a factor but it will still be no cakewalk for Wilder. Looking forward to this one.

[True-Boxing-Fan]

too much money at stake......AJ......conspiracy....

I agree if it goes to the cards Wilder gots it because of future fight with AJ.

But I have a feeling Wilder is getting stretched out tonight.

The new excuse is ready, huh? Ortiz will dive now that being old isn't excuse enough
