Is Luis Ortiz a dud opponent at this point?

    It’s not a bad fight but Ortiz has clearly slowed down more since the first fight and is age is catching up to him!

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Wilder ends it within 6, Hammer made Ortiz look bad and he’s much slower and much more inferior hitter than Wilder!

    This fight lasts as long as Wilder wants it, Ortiz should’ve fired his team and took the AJ fight and then retire into the sunset of Miami!

    Open up some businesses and be known as the guy who wasn’t scared to fight Wilder or AJ and was ducked by many!

    Now his reputation is a bit crippled even if his team was mainly at fault for the AJ negotiations ball drop!

    Anyways, I kinda do disagree it shouldn’t be on PPV, If Ortiz went ahead and beat Whyte, Parker or Pulev I’m impressive fashion the. I’d agree but he’s taken on tune up after tune up since losing to Wilder and has only looked good in 1 of those fights!

      I feel like Wilder-Ortiz II would go down similar to Wilder-Stiverne II. Bit of a dud fight, and I'm a Wilder fan. Ortiz was only ever rated highly by Wilder diehards. I'd rather see Wilder fight a combination of Adam Kownacki, Jarrell Miller, Joseph Parker and/or Dillian Whyte.

      Made me laugh. Thanks for that.

        No. He's still the 4th best guy at heavyweight behind the big 3. Obviously, we all want some variation of Fury, Wilder, and AJ fighting each other. That doesn't make Ortiz a bum

            Yeah he is since the PPV will do Bud-Khan numbers & D Wilder will lose whatever publicity steam he had after his last 2 fights.

              He will test WIlder again but why fight him. Wilder won.
              Josh v Wilder needs to get out of the way first. Let that happen. Ortiz should step aside and fight Wilder some other day.

                It's a fight we don't need to see due to Ortiz being knocked out but it isn't a dud. Wilder could lose, which is what I'm hoping for.

                  can you prove he is 50????? no emotions or personal opinions, just prove it, this really makes you all look bad... prove to us that he is at least 50 years old

                    I'm not excited for this fight and will not watch it live.

                      They forget Povetkin did about as good as Ortiz did against Hammer. I still consider Ortiz Wilder's best win and Povetkin Joshua's 2nd best win. They don't realize they're discrediting both fighters.
