I don't think Ortiz can keep up the pace for 12 rounds like Whyte can, this is a young mans sport and Whyte is getting better and fitter every fight....
I see Ortiz winning the first half of the fight, but if Whyte can survive he can stop Ortiz late.... the same prediction I had for the Wilder fight pretty much. Blueprint is there now, take him deep , survive then finish him. Who knows how much Ortiz has declined since the Wilder fight?
That's the problem. Ortiz doesn't waste punches. He is an accurate counter puncher. He would welcome for Whyte to take the lead so he counter the Hell out of him. Ortiz is the better counter puncher who is also the more scientific and the more fundamentally defensively sound of the two fighters too.
Ortiz ASSUMING he will still be relevant in his upper 40's and whyte continuing to get sharper by the fight..its a toss up really bc we don't know who will be what.
I believe whyte certainly has the advantage in mental edge bc despite what you WANT to believe Ortiz turned this fight down 2 years ago and this year wanted more time to prepare for a July 28th fight which Parker took.
Betting odds should favor Ortiz bc one could argue he and wilder is still a 50 /50 fight.
Whyte showed he can beat other champions as well and he is by far more active against actual live opponents.
I have a feeling Whyte is going to squeak this out in another nail biter and show he much better then what others think, which wont matter bc Ortiz will be 50 by the same guys picking him to win should that happen...we KNOW this..lol
From a good source I’ve heard this fight will be announced this week for Dec 22 at O2 arena. Hats off to Whyte he is a true warrior!! This is a awesome fight, Watch this space for announcement soon!!
Attention whore. Nothing is signed yet. Hearn still talking Chisora. I know for fact you dosser!!

Add to that that he's a southpaw. Any southpaw will trouble any orthodox fighter until he adjust to his style. Wilder has fought 2 southpaws and he had trouble with them until he adjusted to them and he KOd them.
Yep. He's learned a lot from that fight and Whyte is now facing the best version of Ortiz ever. Ortiz is in his prime, Whyte might be slipping a little bit and Cubans never lie about their age.
Whyte going to beat Ortiz easier than Wilder did. We're going to see cries of Ortiz is now shot but wasn't against Wilder all over the board when it happens.
Do you want to bet? Ortiz is going to tune his ass up.
