    stfu.

    Did Wilder stitch up Warsick too? He must have dodged a bullet with that one.

    Scott quit. Just like how he quit against Chisora and like how he tried to quit against Kong. There was no fix.

    Ortiz popped dirty after the Latyfe Kayody fight when he was neither on Wilders radar or ranked by the WBC. He was going the WBA route which Wilder had no association with , so again , NO fix.

    Good fight looking forward to it.

    Not sure who I'd pick now. Couple years a go it would have been Ortiz but now I have no idea - exciting.

    It's spelt Wawrzyk but yeah I agree. Fact is with boxing tightening up it's regulations regarding doping we should expect more situations like this. With the WBA's VADA testing now mandatory too I fully expect plenty of other boxers to get caught in 2018.

    Then why do you watch? I understand ther are shadey deals going on in the sport and it has been this way for over 100 years, but like I said, I want to hear what you have to say on March 4 if Ortiz wins.

    By the way, nothing wrong with a conspirecy theory if it turns out to be true. I was just intersted in how you developed the theory in the first place.

    Even if Ortiz is older than his official 38 years, Wilder still needs to be given credit if he fights him. Wilder is the guy stepping in the ring taking the punches from an undefeated professional. Ortiz has skills, power and is the boogeyman of the division until proven otherwise.

    I also find it incredible that anyone would follow a sport if they genuinely believe the fights are fixed.

    Ortiz is a beast by today's HW standard. Ortiz is not quite Joshua, Povetkin, or Parker but he's the next best thing. Always said I'd pick against Wilder if he fought one of the top 5-ish guys. Their arrows have trended opposite for a bit now so I sort of think Wilder wins but, I don't know, I've always said he's a fraud. Probably stick to my guns and hope Ortiz doesn't go in with a shoulder injury and throw 210 punches.
