Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Accepts Dillian Whyte's Offer To Fight on 12/22 in UK

[Hot Shyt]

“I don’t want the fight. I told Luis no because we already offered him the fight here for the December 1st card and Whyte refused and when the WBC gave him a mandatory against us he also refused so why go on his terms and fly to the UK? That makes no sense. There is only so much I could do. As a manager my job is to give the best advice and be there for my team but he’s a grown man and the truth is the fighter is the boss so at the end they always have the last word. So I guess we will be in UK soon,” explained Jimenez.

EXACTLY!! Its the fighter that has the last word.. So all these fighters talking about "it's up to my promoter/manager" are on bull****

The WBC lied in writing about Brezeales position to Whyte and Whyte offered him way more than Wilder offered Ortiz for his fight.

[1hourRun]

Its meaningless anyway Wilder would stall for 4-5 years at least based on his past form. Wilder will have lost by then anyway and the winner can fight AJ he has an amazing reocrd of fighting the top 5 fighters.

Deontay told Dillian that if he beats Luis Ortiz, Shyte gets his shot. And WHO do you think beats Deontay by then? Dominic Breazeale? Certainly not Tyson Fury.

[Noelanthony]

You maybe right. Even if Whyte semi-lowballs him it's still more than Ortiz usually makes, or would make on the Wilder undercard. Whyte would also make more than he would vs Chisora.

And it’s a better fight. With Chisora you never know which version shows up. Both versions are garbage for the record but the Chisora that fought Whyte and Takam is game. Nevertheless Chisora should not be fighting fighters ranked highly in any boxing organisation. He should be fighting the likes of Dave Allen, Joe Joyce (who would beat him) and Daniel Dubois

How could Pulev fight Ortiz next ? He has Hughie next and if he loses that will probably want a gimmee , if he wins AJ.

Hearn was talking to Ortiz pre Whyte round another fight so Povetkin is a possibility.

Why wouldn't whyte fight him? What's so scary about some 50 year old Cuban who's never beat anyone

[Adamsc151]

Foghorn Leghorn is translating for Ortiz again it seems... or maybe it's Colonel Sanders, lol.
On a serious note, I really hope this comes off. I'd feel a bit sorry for Chisora about his fight with Whyte falling through for it to happen though, but he could always be chief support on the undercard - a rematch with Kabayel maybe as he really was not on form that night.

[Chrismart]

He was always going to except the offer. You don't turn down the headline fight on a PPV for an undercard spot, regardless of what people were saying in lastnight's thread about him not needing to.

Let's hope it gets done officially now.

The fight is on! Glad to see one fighter got the balls to fight and is not a coward like Wildher who only duck

[Sickmerch1990]

Whyte is the man i think he destroys Ortiz. by boxing wilders head off for 7 rounds ain't much really since wilder has no boxing ability just a great punch Ortiz resume is piss poor whyte been beating good fighter after good fighter for years now will go the same way as Lucas Browne this
