Luis Ortiz vs. Alexander Ustinov for interim WBA HW title

this must be part of GBP's secret plan to take the HW belts back to the US one by one

 

Strange we don't see Ortiz in any decent matchups, I hope it finally ends with this mandatory eliminator.

Guys like Arreola, Adamek, Helenius, Charr, Dimitrenko, Tarver, Thompson, Browne, Solis, should be placing their calls to offer their services, it won't get any easier than this for a shot at Wlad.

 

Its time

 

I hope this fight at least tells us more about the quality of fighter Ortiz is.

 

Ortiz is a kind of an enigma for me, just as Takam was before the Perez fight. Could this be really the dark horse in GBP stable?

 

Team KINGPIN was approached about this fight.

 

God no!

 

Ustinov destroyed Tua, a legend from the previous era with ease so this Ortiz wont stand a chance.

 

Interim titles = :-( boxing fans

 

If both of these fights (Chag v Oquen and Ortiz v Ustinov) happen, and the winners face off later in the year, then the winner of this mini-tournament would be a suitable title challenger and paper champ. Presumably the winner would then have to face a major contender like Povetkin or Haye or Fury before being fed to Wlad. So kudos to the WBA if these fights all go down.

 

There's only one champ at heavyweight, so right now heavyweight needs some paper titles to generate interest.... Look at the flurry of fighters aiming for the WBC title--they know Stiverne is a hell of a lot more vulnerable than Wlad!

 

But who will fight for the WBA regular interim super belt?

 

So we get Chagaev vs Oquendo for the WBA Regular Paper belt, and now Ortiz vs Ustinov for the WBA Toilet Paper belt... What's next? :blood
