Yup, can't see Ortiz catching up the tempo. He was looking super good against Wilder because half of the time the fight was a snooze fest. You saw what happened when someone moves around the ring ( even half dead ) in the face of Scubba Scott. He was running all night long and Ortiz struggled with the KO. Sorry but there is no way Ortiz beats Gassiev or Usyk... not right now, maybe years earlier yes, but at the moment nope. Both fighters are way too mobile for Ortiz and will get an easy decision.
People don't realise how good Usyk is, he smashed some big heavies in his amateur days, including making a fool out of Joe Joyce. 12-0 Usyk, he'd be my fav vs Josh and Wilder as well, he has a very good chin and is one of the most skillful boxers, maybe even 2nd after Lomachenko in terms of pure skill
Usyk doesn't have the power to keep the big boys off him at HW. Ortiz is just as skilled, much bigger and hits way harder. Ortiz by KO.
Dave Allen was there for a long time ,repeatedly getting hit by Ortiz. Is Dave Allen better than usyk
This. Usyk has the speed and reflexes to make Ortiz look bad, but Ortiz will connect on him eventually. Usyk also doesn't have the fire power to keep Ortiz off him. Ortiz mostly used his jab against Wilder, to avoid getting hit flush with Wilder's right hand. Ortiz won't be as cautious against Usyk.
Ortiz is done. He'll never be as good as he was, only older and I predict heavier. Usyk UD Ortiz. The worst thing for Wilder fans if Ortiz looses his next fight. It would de-value the win.
I dont think we see Ortiz again after this. I have the funny feeling he sinks without a trace and puts on loads of weight If he comes back in 12 months and faces Usyk by some chance then I see Usyk getting a TKO over him
