Holyfield and Wlad also looked in great shape at advanced age, but lost to guys they could have beaten in their primes.
Facts: -Ortiz is 40 yrs regardless of the hilarious age wisecracks -Ortiz is taking the rematch very seriously as witnessed by his phenomenal shape. -Ortiz ran Wilder to the wire with multiple scares throughout encounter #1 -Wilder is very beatable & Ortiz has the goods to do it.
I didn't say Wallin is great . Theres also no reason and a BIGGER one if we compare young Wallin to Ortiz if the LATEST fights are indications how good they are currently no one can realistically claim Ortiz is WAYY beyond Wallin ,how ? . Theres also zero reasoning to claim Ortiz walks thorough Wallin like that other poster said ,win or lose so I ask you what fight shows that, Hammer ? Come;on. I was the ONLY one to say Wallin might win on a cut vs Fury as well. See whewn you really been around REAL fighters and trainers you can predict these things at least take a huge L in some guess's . I find myself knowing or being right more then not,but it doesn't matter ……. My goal is to get things right..... Whoever said Jennings was WORLD class ? He can present problems for some and maybe would have defeated more then not in another era ...stop,take deep breath and slow down nobody was ever saying world beater Jennings defeat this or that guy until Joyce by a few who just don't really understand the game .
Agree with the bottom three comments but when it comes to Cubans their age given can’t be spoken as factual. Rigo also looked older than stated.Cant believe it’s down to having a hard paper round.
Deserved a rematch imo and he’s a chance of going one further this time.That said I’m picking Wilder by Knockout early on as I reckon he’s gonna try and do what he did to Stiverne or Breazele.
Very Dangerous fight for Wilder, if it wasn't for Wilder risk taking mindset...Lusi Ortiz career would have been hidden forever...He was suppressed in the previous era. Any fighter who is destroyed via "Failed drug tests" is a risky fighter that had to be neutralized outside the ring, all boxers are on PEDs
Jennings was a top prospect when ? Wilder avoided him and fought Szpilka who he stopped ? FOH is right ,you have your head up your you know what as usual no neck ,did it reach that far you cant have a face ? lol Joyce actually fought a more seasoned Jennings not a 19 fight one ,and still bombarded him to an easy win ….IF you actually count shots that land.
He really isn't 40 years old. Even Wilders bum buddy Mike Coppinger was laughing about his age last week by saying all Cubans lie about their age but Ortiz is on a different level.
