Comments Thread For: Hearn: Luis Ortiz Was The First Name Anthony Joshua Gave Me

[juggernaut666]

Gloss over the fact that he was already scheduled to fight wilder that November but test came back positive for blood pressure medication, once he was cleared by wbc they announced fight to take place in March after already stating after November fight they was going reschedule wilder/Ortiz with Ortiz stating he was still preparing to take on wilder in December once he was cleared by wbc... it’s plenty of articles on nsb about Ortiz and wilder stating in December they looking for a new date to stage fight

Again this is false, the WBC did not establish a rescheduling and had doubts Wilder would want the fight. The only fact is a possibility of a rematch doesn't mean Ortiz is in training for Wilder....no fighter trains for phantom fights do they?

The fight was officially sanctioned on the date I provided 7 weeks out ...you can continue the nonsensical point but the fact is Ortiz after months out did not know who he was fighting.

I don't recall Parker's last fight being on a Matchroom show.

The option was his fight with Whyte immediately following the Joshua fight

I don't recall Takam complaining about getting work on Matchroom shows.

I don't recall Whyte complaining about working with Matchroom.

So what are you being a little bitch about exactly?

I don't recall saying it was wrong or saying anybody complaining. I'm telling you how the business works. You're reacting like the fan girl you are

How many voluntarys has AJ even fought anyway? They've ALL been mandatories IIRC.

Ok I'm done with you. Have a good day

If Ortiz is seriously a player in this whole narrative, then my theory stands corrected, this was all planned by DAZN to acquire the tickets. And sneak attack PBC should AJ KO Ortiz. It means more leverage and fan narratives that Wilder is still B side while DAZN continues to rise with Ortiz as a new opponent.

Isn’t it odd that King Kong’s twitter handle is silent? I mean close to 20 fighters have said on twitter they are willing to step in and fight AJ but nothing from Ortiz even though he’s their #1 choice. This is the same twitter handle that disses AJ and calls him a duck when he has a fight and opponent lined up.. hmmm

Im sure team Ortiz will get back to Hearn in the next 7 weeks like the last time his name was mentioned.

If they do the same shit that they did last time then I would be pissed, last time they went public AFTER the Miller fight was announced, they are meant to be on standby for this fight, it’s 7 weeks away. That’s enough time to get this sorted. Call Hearn’s bluff ASAP... Don’t let him get away with saying “His gut feelings is Team ortiz saying they not ready”

Dude it was articles on nsb in December when he was cleared that they was just waiting on a new date for the rescheduled fight, it wasn’t no phantom fight that wasn’t going take place lol everything was agreed to just needed a new date from showtime which they officially announced in January

[Iamsmoke89]

And how does Miller fit into all of this? He was poisoned? Or purposely screwed his own career?

[sicko]

Ortiz should take it but it won't come CHEAP! He is going to want the money Miller was about to get and I don't blame him!

I thought it was in December too. I remember a PBC television event in December '17 where Ortiz KO'd some stiff and Wilder jumped in the ring afterwards. They pretty much announced they were fighting each other next.
