Upset coming... Grandpa looks in great shape...

Ortiz TKO round 6 after making Wilder look like a Junior for 5 rounds ...

I keep saying it, folks are sleepin on Ortiz big time....he was beating wilder last time and almost stopped him and he as in worse condition than he is now

I’m hoping for an Ortiz KO inside of 6 with his developed lats. That should make the HW division even more interesting.

Interesting point, please explain why you think strong lats will be an advantage in this matchup?

... Nery (30-0, 24 KOs), of Tijuana, Mexico, weighed 119 pounds, one pound over the division’s limit. The 24-year-old former WBC bantamweight champ was granted an hour to come back to the NSAC’s scale at 118 pounds or lower."

and Nery didn't even try to make weight after that...

It’s going to be advantageous for Ortiz to have snappier punches thanks to his strengthened back muscles. He’ll need that extra bit of speed to protect himself after punching at Wilder.
