    Why no old jokes about Rigo when he faced Loma? Both from Cuba, both look to be a similar age. What's different?

    You realize he dominated Hammer in a way that guys like Whyte fail to dominate boxers from the same tier?

    He’s top 15 on boxrec, or was. You’re dismissing him for looking fat.

    I wouldn't say he was fat and he went 10 with Ortiz and has gone 12 with Pov, all the while looking flat footed and tiresome and barely having any affect..
    He can take a punch, good going Christian.... But didn't Feather fisted Fury make him quit on his stool?? Or was that Fury's peds stopping the monster we are now calling Hammer (just to make Ortiz sound better and younger than he is)

    Hammer is flat footed and a punching bag for the top 10, Ortiz (if he is as good as people say) should've made Hammer quit the way Fury did, since Ortiz likes the juice too doesn't he?

    Come on, let the best fight the best, stop promoting BS fights.. We've seen this tripe already...

    Wilder, in his position, HAS to KO Ortiz earlier....... too many people making excuses already

    Only top guys dominate Hammer. Ortiz is one of three.

    Old man Ortiz should have took a shot when he was young enough to do it, now he is 20 or 30 years past it and doesn't have a hope..

    Last time he gassed and couldn't get Wilder out of there when he had the chance. Probs go earlier this time as he is a shell of his over rated self.

    He was in better shape when he was sparring with Teofilo Stevensen back in 1980.

    Ortiz is a master tactician but his advance age may cost him after all it was him not Johnson whom spoke out about Joe Louis's vulnerability to the right hand I trust his genius but not his decling form how you all come to forget his greatness is unsettling praise be to saint Primo.

    People sleeping on ortiz in this fight. Ortiz has far too much skill to be blown away like stiverne was in the second fight. Wilder fought the first fight perfectly....ortiz was picked cause it was a perfect style for wilder....wilders first good opponent. But it was one that was made for him stylistically. Wilders a good fighter but hes being rated higher than he deserves. His coaching teams done a great job with him tho.

    Ortiz has a live shot in this fight. If wilder goes out swinging early ortiz will make him pay for it. Wilder made him chase which isnt ortiz,s strong point in the first fight. Frustrates ortiz. Even then ghere was very little between them. Ortiz was outboxing him. He wsnts people to come to him tho. If wilder disregards him...ortiz will make him pay for it. Good 60/40 fight in wilders favour. Ortiz being written off too easily.

    He should look like he's in good shape, he's been running gear for decades.
