Teddy Atlas predicts Wilder KO 1 over Ortiz

[ShaneMosleySr]

Is he crazy or smart?

His track record as a forecaster isnt great. The first round???

[eco1]

ok, Ortiz is now the new HW champ.

Doubt Wilder gets rid of Ortiz in 1 if so then that would be mad impressive no matter how many people say Ortiz is ancient am hasn’t fought anyone!

There’s reason before Wilder took the unenviable challenge of fighting an undefeated Ortiz that none of the top guys wanted a piece of King Kong!

Ortiz is coming in leaner and now knows what he’s up against while Wilder is just even more dangerous knowing what Ortiz has to offer!

Should be a really
Good
One and don’t know why ticket sales aren’t doing well, maybe NBA season is to blame!

[Mammoth]

It's gonna be a tough fight for Wilder now

[daggum]

i think it will be in the first second

Is he crazy or smart?

I really can’t see it. Ortiz is far too savvy IMO

It's curious, there are quite a few expert and non-expert (by that I mean ordinary forum posters) predicting a kayo win to Wilder very early.

Any ideas why - Ortiz' advanced age, inability to 'juice', Wilder's improvement?, Wilder's additional experience, Wilder now knows how to tag southpaws....just curious to think what other posters belief is the determination factor.

What was Atlas' rationale?

Ortiz will collapse as soon as his foot touches the ring when he goes through the ropes in the introductions. He will get KO’ed from Wilder shadowboxing backstage.

The thing with Wilder is he really may get you out of there in one round. But I don't see that happening here. Ortiz is too dangerous for Wilder to not start off a bit cautious like he often times does.

This one will be going rounds and will be competitive for as long as it lasts.
