    I am ****ing nervous. I really want to have march3 NOW!!!!!!! This will be a hell of a boxing weekend!
    Saturday evening Brook vs Rabchenko. Really good fight imo. As a starter.
    Then Derevyanchenko, Martin, Charlo, Dirrell at the undercard in Brooklyn.
    And finally the fight of the year so far...Wilder vs Ortiz.
    Man i am so exicted!!!

    Am I the only one who thinks (even if Wilder is really overrated) it will be an easy fight for Wilder? K.O. in 8 rounds, Ortiz is nothing.

    Can't see it topping either of the CW semi finals to be honest. Wilder is sloppy but will box more cautiously, and Ortiz struggles when he has to force the issue. I'm looking forward to seeing the winner legitimise themself as a title holder but I don't think the action on display will be FOTY-worthy.

    Im a Wilder fan but i dont think its going to be an easy night for him. I think Wilder wins by decision. I cant see Ortiz getting knocked out or stopped.
    Wouldn't be surprised if it was quite a messy, boring fight to be honest. Wilder will get the job done though.

    Ortiz is 87 years old, if he beats Wilder it will be one of the biggest embarrassments for American boxing for a very long time.

    Dave Allen dragged Ortiz rounds, Malik Scott made Ortiz look bang average, I expect Wilder to win by way of windmills and the referee jumping in and then this forum to go in to meltdown.

    Wilder fans will be unbearable, I sort of understand why because it will be his best win but they will not accept Ortiz was old and over hyped.

    Yeah, I think Wilder will stop him in the second half of the fight.

    To be honest this fight should have happened a couple of years ago before Ortiz hit 50 and hadn’t shown signs of slowing down.

    Wilder hasn't stepped into the ring yet, Martin is still on the undercard. Wilder to pull out with a toe injury on March 1st, Ortiz vs Martin for WBC Bronze belt.

    Nah man. I dont like the Bronze Bomber but he didnt sign twice to fight Ortiz to pull that kind of ish just before the fight. He'll get so much flack we wont ever hear the end of it. If this wont happen it will be because of King Kong getting popped again. But Ortiz is clean as a whistle now, he got tested like eight times lol.

    I'm curious to see if King Kong is in shape and what will be his stamina on fight night. I think Wilder will move a lot to tire the old man and then take him out in the last 4 rds.

    What do you mean? He pulled 'that kind of ish' before the last fight, signed again cause everyone called him chicken **** and a clown after the Stiverne 2 dive. Either Wilder pulls out, they spike Ortiz, or Wilder gets destroyed.

    What a stupid comment. Ortiz has a 3 to 1 advantage in polling on this forum in terms of resume v Wilder. Ortizs resume was acquired in (less) that the last 2.25 years, so age is a complete bull**** excuse.

    If Wilder wins people need to STFU and give him credit.

    Btw, not a Wilder fanboy, I call him out when he deserves it. I'm a fan of boxing, and this is a ****ing great match against two clear top 5 hws. People need to appreciate matches like this because they don't happen much.
