Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz II A Done Deal, Eyed For September

[Tha Kid]

Anthony Joshua is still trying to act as if he didn't walk away from $50m+ for the fight.

He's in no position to call for any kind of parlay and everyone knows it.

Sit on the bench a bit longer, and maybe Wilder clears his mind of the slights enough to sit down and chat after fighting Ortiz on PPV.

All Facts. Hearn was playing checkers and Haymon was playing chess. Now Joshua is the odd man out 🤷🏾*♂️

not a fan of this. Its like Fury, Wilder, and Joshua are all taking stay busy fights waiting for one of the other two to lose and take the high ground in the next round of negotiations.

It won't be. Get ready for the PPV, especially after the hype that blew up from the Breazeale fight.

That sucks I'll have to pass on that one. Ortiz looked pretty bad his last fight he missed his chance to beat wilder.

I am not mad at Wilder for fighting Ortiz again, it was a close fight so why not?!

[BOXING-SCRIBE]

And when he chooses to fight kownacki after Ortiz? What will the story be?

There is no story. Ortiz is the 4th best HW in the world. After he disposes if him, it is either 👑 Fury or Aj. Fury may get a pass because he already stepped up. The polish guy is not bad, and I wager he beats Breazele, Tito from turbo(Aj's opponent), and the guy that Fury is fighting next.

Crazy that Wilder is on the verge of 10 defenses. I remember in 2015, half the forum thought Stiverne was gonna expose and knock him out. He's come a long way.

WTF???? I don't understand why we need a rematch as it ended pretty conclusive the first time.I don't know any fans who have asked for this. Ortiz is now older and has started to look his age....what a 5hit fight.

Aren’t Americans ashamed of this guy?

Not "ashamed" of any professional boxer really bro. I suppose you could say I AM ashamed of what so many American Wilder fans put out here on social media. SO much of what I read is ridiculous. Many behaviors I don't necessarily agree with. I'm not the guy that participates in any of that.

I'm not "ashamed" of the guy though. I'm not a fan. Never been. Always pulled for Joshua. I hope Wilder loses. Matter of fact, I'm afraid he's going to end up with an L before he ever fights AJ. He may have "A-sided" his way out of ever getting THE payday.

As far as Ortiz, I HOPE it's a good fight. Like to see it. But c'mon. He's quite OLD. PULEV is old too. Is it too late for Pulev/AJ ? I just don't know anymore who there is to fight, if the "big 3" are not fighting each other. How bout you ? ONE fight per year ? - smh

I don't think there was a need for a rematch and even less on ppv. There were other options than this. Not a bad fight but I rather see something else.

Good fight. One that makes sense if Wilder vs. Joshua/Fury wasn't next.

The first fight was very entertaining and competitive. Round 7 and the twenty or so extra seconds Wilder was allowed to recover alone were almost enough to warrant a rematch. I expect Wilder to stop Ortiz sooner this time after a few competitive rounds.

Wilder vs. Whyte would have been good as well.
