My main concern is Ortiz failing a PED test. Given that all the top guys are on this stuff these days. I hope he has a decent team around him. I will be very unhappy if he pisses hot and we dont atleast see him given his last chance.
Would love an Ortiz win. It would stop this nonsense of marinating fights for a bit. But he couldn't put Wilder away last time after outboxing him for long spells - he's not a young guy and time off won't have done him any favours. Wilder should win again
Wilder will iron Ortiz out in a few rounds and Wilder fans will lose their minds because Wilder beat up a pensioner. The facts are Ortiz hasn't beat anybody worth beating, we can argue that people haven't wanted to fight him but regardless Ortiz' best known fight is the one Wilder stopped him in. Bryant Jennings is Ortiz' best win and that was years ago.. I don't give a toss that he looks in good shape, means absolutely nothing, all it says is that he has trained, errrr so what? AJ looked on great shape before Ruiz, didn't do him much good did it. Let's not pretend Ortiz is some young, ripped and dangerous fight, Ortiz is old, overrated and will get hurt.
He looks better physically, but is he? I expect Wilder to get the job done inside 4 rounds, but I am still intrigued by the match up. Ortiz certainly had his moments and is the more polished boxer, but I just can't see past Wilder!
They got him some hair transplant or dye and a fitness coach to make him look a bit younger, but everyone knows he's at least 45!! Machamp!! Lmao
Old grandpa Ortiz looks like Benjamin Button at the start of the film. Even with his shriveled up skin, he'd still destroy the bodybuilder Joshua! lol
Scary counts in horror houses. In alleys. In the first grade when some punk is trying to get another kid's lunch money. Not in the ring.
in the Post-Fight after Kong KTFO Beyoncé he will reveal his true age of 59 1/2 years old and challenge George Foreman to beat his new record of being the oldest Heavyweight Champion of All Times!!!
As an old man of 50 myself, I feel in my bones that this is another "George Foreman" moment. If you look at my previous predictions, you will see that I DNSAB, but I now feel "50 is the new 30" I just came back from club tennis, where I was joking with a young Russian tennis player (who I lost to) about him taking PED's, and he said "No - my father does that. He has Meldonium in his cabinet." I asked him if he took it, and he said "No, it gives me vertigo" I just hope this time, that Ortiz has someone telling him how to cycle his herbal medication, and then he has a chance.
Yep. Ortiz wins, then fights Briggs. This would be wonderful for all 6-pack wearing older gentlemen. They have successful seniors tours in tennis and golf. A "Masters" league in boxing could be huge, but I'd probably give them some head gear...
Best physical shape, just s decade too late. You get older and your nerves, tendons, reactions are never like they were. You get slower and clumsier. Can't respond as quick as you used to.
