Why not Ortiz vs Wilder rematch?

[lanker rom]

Sure, a December rematch is justifiable and would generate interest, just not as much interest as a Fury fight. Wilder-Ortiz II would also be bigger next year than this year. Still big this year, but Ortiz knocking out another opponent or two before a rematch just makes it bigger.

I really would like your insight on top ranks deal with ESPN. Recently it was expanded until 2025 according to kevin iole. Which is crazy because even UFC doesn't even have a deal for that long. Is there anyway to figure out the contents of this deal? I have a thread on it feel free to comment if youd like

He rematched Stiverne, I don't see why he can't rematch Ortiz.

yup plus Wilder-Ortiz has more action than Wilder-Stiverne.

Fury is bad for the HW at this moment. He fights to win but in a boring fashion especially against punchers. If we are talking about amateur boxing then it is accepted. But right now, we need action and excitement from the HW.

Amazing how people want a Wilder-Ortiz rematch now that he just checkmated Hearn and Joshua...Man you can't make this up

Fury is a far bigger win ( obviously hes undefeated former champion ) and a win over him will get Wilder more pull in negotiations with Joshua .

Ortiz would be a more risky fight bc hes fought Wilder before and if he comes in a little sharper it may not end well for Wilder so why chance that fight ?


The Fury fight itself isnt exactly a smart move either bc a loss freezes him out of the Joshua super fight for good and it then becomes Joshua vs Fury and the risks dont exceed the gain bc these guys really arent big draws without Joshua , thats just a fact !


Wilder vs Ortiz 2 ? Its hard enough getting Wilder to take relevant fights , i dont really see him wanting a guy who almost got him anytime soon .
