Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Warns: People Are Kind of Sleeping on Luis Ortiz

This won’t be a blow out for Wilder.

I'm with Paulie here. People seem to think Ortiz only had that one moment in the 7th... he didn't, he outboxed Wilder throughout the fight. Though the judges forgot how to score that night.

Wilder couldn't figure out how to fight a southpaw. Prior to the first knockdown the action was so limited that the crowd were booing (another forgotten bit of history).

Ortiz has the far superior technique and enough power to hurt Wilder. It's yet another fight where Wilder needs to land a wild swing to be in it.

That's if it's not bent anyway, which it might be.

... Wilder KO's Ortiz asap... (it's about the PBC huge money involved, doe...)

People forget how good Ortiz looked that 1st fight all they remember is the kds, that 7th round and the ko.

Ortiz was countering the hell outta Wilder especially when he had Wilder off balance and was consistently attacking the body. Both were weary of each other's power. Wilder just took Ortiz's better.

The knockout win for Wilder pays so little that I preferred to waste a few Euros on both a draw and a 9th round knockout win for Ortiz.

One never knows.

Nice I was gonna put a few bucks on a draw for the hell of it but picking a round for Ortiz to win in the 2nd half is bold. 66/1 odds on site I use lol.

A draw means the non-favored fighter won by a wide margin.

Indeed the trick worked for me on Wilder vs Fury, I placed five Euros on the draw at the last second and won 105... But this time I doubt that it will happen. Just tryin'...

this is a huge risk, zero reward fight for Wilder. beating Ortiz again does absolutely nothing for his legacy. he already splattered him. but he faced enough adversity where taking this fight again seems rather foolish on his part.

I don't normally buy into a fighter's excuses for why they looked bad or lost, but Wilder did look really bad in that fight up until the KDs – even worse than he did against Molina, Duhaupas or Szpilka.

The abnormally low weight and hesitance to throw his punches – his trusted difference makers – suggest to me that he probably wasn't lying about having an illness or whatever before the fight.

In this rematch I predict we'll see that it was Wilder who had an off night, rather than Ortiz looking exceptional.

Paulie Malignaggi was never good enough to have this big a goddamn platform in boxing.

I can't remember the last time Malignaggi wasn't idiotic.

I love it when he says anything. Just take the opposite, and you're good to go.
