I highly doubt PBC will allow Ortiz to fight Hrgovic, they'll feed him to Ruiz most likely

    I think Ruiz vs Ortiz is next. If Ortiz beats Ruiz Wilder's resume gets a huge boost, if not Wilder's resume looses a bit of value. Interesting.


    Both Ortiz and Ruiz have glass jaws, both are cement footed counter punchers, and i expect this to be a brawl. It's a good fight. I like it

    Ruiz doesn't have a glass jaw, he has been dropped but recovers instantly

    Yeah I can't see PBC allowing Ortiz to fight Hrgovic.

    They will line him up as a lamb to the slaughter and put him against on Ruiz, Sanchez or Anderson.

    Yep. Ruiz will definetly change his tune about facing Ortiz after seeing him against Martin.

    Im not so sure about that. Dropped and put on bambi legs by the ancient fossilized remains of Chris Arreola.

    He survived Joshua because that weak mandible was packed inside a 20 pound layer of blubber. This new skinner version has that wafer chin exposed.

    Makes sense. They know Ortiz is on his way out, so best to ensure he loses to another PBC heavyweight. Also they'll likely make it PPV like Ruiz/Arreola and Ortiz/Martin so Ortiz might get a decent payday again though obviously not a huge one. Also it should be an entertaining fight for as long as it lasts.

    Ruiz is a better match up for Ortiz, if washed up Arreola can take him the distance he might be able to also. Hrgovic would stop 42 year old King Kong within a few rounds imo.

    What do you base Ruiz having a glass jaw on?

    Weight loss hasn’t helped him in the chin department that’s for sure

    I'd love to see the Croatian get his shot at the big time, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Ortiz vs Ruiz would be a fun fight, sign me up.

    The purse bid is 75/25 in King Kong's favor. Don't rule out the possibility of PBC rolling the dice and forcing Hrgovic to fight over here under the auspices of a PBC friendly commission.
