Cannot say I'm shocked by this , rumors have been proved true the next is Ortiz and Kownacki for Wilder . Thoughts everyone ?
Idea for thread: Ask if anybody else is something I am not and probably nobody is. Okay yes green light go.
I'm shocked that people are shocked, after all, most whined for months that Ortiz didn't get a fair shake, and had Wilder not been given time to recover, Luis would have sprung the upset. Wilder lucked out. Now the same people that were crying after that match, are decrying the rematch. Hmmmm. Agenda much? This content is protected
For me its looking at the past 2 years. Talks of Fury vs AJ, Aj vs Wilder.. then the fight that is made is Fury-Wilder. Not even talked about, it just happened negotiation all in one swoop. I was shocked to see that fight made so easily. Fury wins the battle, not the fight and decides he doesn't wan't an immediate rematch.I'm shocked. After beating Brezeale, Wilder goes back to Ortiz, I admit I didn't see that coming. War Schwarz, Ruiz & Ortiz!! LOL!
No ones shocked ,except the lowest form of intelligence of the Wilder fan group bc they have yet to still after over a year that ( some ) cant fathom that wilder is STILL ducking AJ and he has limited options without Fury and have no clue why the fight hasn't happened already but have an idea its of course AJ's fault ? On the fight : Yea its a very good one and might actually be acceptable if AJ WASNT an option to. Hearn: Joshuas going to call Wilder out Saturday. Next Day Wilder : Big announcement everyone ,were having a super fight with Ortiz . Just another point of how dimwitted some of these comments are. But if you have a brain of you're own ( some on here don't ) you have already known Wilder said he wasn't fighting AJ THIS year as he did LAST year when his charade of wanting the AJ fight was actually a Fury fight since he was out 3 years instead !!!!!!!!!!!!! @The people who don't understand THIS .
Surprised at the timing of the announcement, thought they'd at least pretend for a while they wanted the Joshua fight, but not surprised the Ortiz fight was signed, it's been rumoured for a long time. Seems like a weird repeat of what happened before. Ortiz given an opportunity to fight Joshua, firstly went he was named mandatory and then again recently offered $6 mill and then $7 mill to fill in for Miller at MSG only for Wilder to get the Ortiz fight instead. I will add that their seems to be a leak in team Wilder or PBC as these "rumours" all too often come true. Breazeale was rumoured to have already signed to fight Wilder when Joshua was trying to get Wilder for the April date and yep he fought Breazeale next, then again rumours were Ortiz and Kownacki would be next and again here we see Ortiz getting another shot. Suffice to say we can all expect Kownacki next.
Not shocked, as soon as Finkel mentioned Ortiz and Kownacki I knew they had there plan laid out. Wilder will never face AJ (or a fit Fury for that matter) without the cards stacked heavily in his favour, I don't think it Wilder himslef who is scared but I believe his handlers know truly how weak Wilders grip is on that strap and they are petrified. Now Joshua comes to the US to chase Wilder in his own country and Wilder runs backwards into Ortizn'ts arms before AJ even gets in a ring.... When Wilder is forced into a fight that he or his handlers doesn't want (perhaps the Whyte fight), then all of a sudden we will see them clammering after AJ. I hope AJ holds out and forces Wilder into making some consessions, he's already told him he can have 50% and in the USA FFS.
Pretty much everyone knew it. Hearn even said he knew about the 3 fight deal for Wilder, so I'm not sure why he's been trying to make the AJ fight with this in mind.
