Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz vs. Dillian Whyte - WBC Final Eliminator Ordered

[Thebrownbear]

I have never really been a Dillian Whyte fan but let’s give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He beat Chisora, Helenius & Browne to get in this position. All 3 are top 20 HWs. So Breazeale, Pulev or Ortiz stand in his way for a title shot. He has a legit shot of beating all of them. So it’s Ortiz or Pulev in final eliminators to get a shot at Wilder or Joshua. Anyone who gives Whyte grief for choosing Pulev is a diluted fool. Joshua is the payday everyone wants. If I was whyte I would go the Pulev route as he has A Bulgarian following while Ortiz has little supporters but die hards. Pulev leads to Joshua. That is where the money is...

The fact that the fighters you mentioned are in the top 20 shows the sorry state of the division.

Ortiz by KO, inside of 6.

Whyte needs to stop fighting Bar Bouncers and fight a legitimate guy

LOL Ortiz is a bar bouncer now? That means Wilder is a bum you are a moron

I smell BS. What is WBC's issue with Whyte that no matter what he does its still not enough to become mandatory?

But all in all this is a dangerous test for Whyte. If he makes through it, his stock will go through the roof. On the other hand, if he doesn't...

P.S. It seems like the fate is conspiring, with Wilder's help, not to make much money for Wilder. He could have fought Whyte for $5mil, but now he will fight Breazele for $2m at best. And if Whyte loses, he will fight Ortiz again for the same $2m. Its like he hates money..

P.P.S. And why is it Ortiz who has just lost to Wilder gets a chance for a !final! eliminator?

Whytes offered to fight Ortiz before but Ortiz had the better rankings will Dillan do the reverse to him who knows. Either way Dillan fights a top 10 .. fine by me.

I'd have rather see Ortiz been mando for the WBA and have a crack at Joshua , Whyte vs Wilder .. just to mix it up a bit. Anyway good fights.

Now let’s see how much Dillian Whyte and Hearn really want the WBC title fight, I guarantee they duck this matchup and go the IBF route.

Oddly, Wilder was a bar bouncer

[Dodger07]

Good fight for both of them. I favor ortiz by tko

[Ake-Dawg]

So all Whyte has to do is beat the old bum Ortiz and he is mando. Shouldn't the UK fans be thrilled at this news. Then again, if Ortiz wins, they have to eat crow on all that Wilder is ducking Whyte talk. Awesome! Either way, we get a good scrap.

Lmao I think you just killed that guy

Whyte fought an eliminator in 2016 and is the WBC NO1 why should he fight Ortiz in a “final eliminator “ he has just been Kod 7 weeks ago by Wilder.

Eddie Hearn needs to get legal on Mauricio and the WBC to enforce Whiytes No1 position.
