Comments Thread For: Ortiz: Wilder Is Only One Who Can Say For Sure If Rematch is Next

[OPS]

If Wilder knocked you out the same night while having a flu, imagine what he will do without a flu and added weight. Appreciate the guts Ortiz, but sorry- not interested.
Fight Braezealle or that guy who keeps screaming, "Let's go Champ."

Ortiz and Kownacki to round out 2019. That will lead Wilder into Jan. 2020 to his 5-yr. anniversary as champion and 11 title defenses.

More predictable inhouse opponents for Wilder, thats the plan, keep ducking AJ until 2021. Protected PBC hypejob.

If Fury and Joshua are not ready for Wilder in 2019, then Wilder vs Ortiz rematch makes sense.

Just seems like Ortiz has a ton of eggs in one basket. He had the best opportunity to prove he was a true talent by taking the Joshua fight. He and his team look bad for not doing it. I have been an Ortiz defender, but I just feel he shrunk from a career making moment.

I would watch. The first fight was great after a bit of a slow start. I though Ortiz had the win in sight. But I feel he loses a rematch and that Wilder looks better for it. Not a great fight, but if Wilder isn't getting Fury next and if Joshua is out of reach, than I do not care who it is so long as Wilder stays in the perceived top 10 HWs. At least Ortiz is that.

Kownacki would be fun. I would like to see that next.

Ortiz is a dinosaur already, at the post fight he looked ill most likely high blood pressure....while Wilder is at it fighting bums he already beat means Stiverne 3, Duhaupas 2, Breazeale 2 are all in the works while Whyte the number one contender waits forever for his title shot since we all know the fights the fans wants wouldn’t be ever made...

how does an "athlete" get this fat.

In other words ‘I’ve been told to keep my mouth shut until it’s formally promo’d and announced or I risk my pay day’.

Fury already let the cat out of the bag though.

Kownaki vs wilder would be great. I don't see Kownaki being ko'd easily. He can counter and he has big power and decent skills.
