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

Respect to both AND Hearn if they fight Dec. 22, but I feel this is likely going to be a situation where Hearn f#cks this sh^t up.

People love to act like fighters are preventing fights from happening & its obviously waaaaaay more fun to accuse fighters directly of being chicken sh^t, but the reality is the business sh^t don't make sense for one or both fighters or the promoter is shutting sh^t down for his own reasons more often then not when fights aren't happening.

Scared boxers is an oxymoron.

Nah, let Ortiz continue fighting on PBC undercards for peanuts. Badmouthing shouldn't be awarded by big paydays.

This could easily be a stinker, especially compared to a Chisora rematch

No chance both fighters have a come forward style. Both fighters look ridiculous when getting knocked out.... A fighter has to think of their image afterwards. When you feel you are one shot away from losing your senses then tuck up and motion your way to the canvas.

The image of Whyte getting knocked out by Joshua and his body wrapped around the ropes is not a good look and Ortiz collapsing to the floor like a sack of potatoes and snot all over his face is not cool.

A great fight to look forward too😂

Want to take that as meaning the fight will happen but he says in the interview "I accept so send the contract". Which makes me wonder if he knows the particulars and $$ he's being offered yet.

Yeah, Luis was the WBA mandatory, but Eddie Hearn and GayJ were threatening to drop the WBA, so Ortiz fought Wilder instead for the WBC.

That was a bad move. He should had called their buff now he will never get a chance to fight AJ. . Bryant Jennings is third in line for the WBO wow.

[Brainboxz]

the winner of this fight is good for April 13 for AJ... since Wilder is not sure for that date (considering the rematch clause)

I dont know, it could turn-out pretty good for Luis : he got a shot at the WBC despite failing a PED test, is in line ( apparently ) for Whyte, which could be some UK PPV, provided he wins -- which is likely, Ortiz is once again in line for Wilder-Fury winner; possibly as the mando. Not bad.

Lol Whyte about to fake an injury or come up with some excuse to back out.

Now what AJ going to do without his prop?

[famicommander]

Whyte gets brutally knocked out of this happens. Parker nearly knocked Whyte out with his pillow fists.

well damn!!!!
