Luis Ortiz almost pulled from fight by NYSAC

Wilders best opponent thus far is a man with heart problems

 

Just imagine an Ortiz allowed his meds. Deontay would be in boot hill.

 

Ortiz was an old 50 year old sick man who almost knocked Wilder out, Wilder had some help from Haymon's referee and Haymon's judges were giving Wilder the fight as predicted. Wilder was clearly winning every round except two. Ortiz' sickness got to him and he got sloppy, but he did really well, esp. for an old sick man..............Ortiz was not allowed to fight Wilder because he was taking blood pressure meds, but it is OK for El Pollo to take PEDS, he got caught, yet WBA, WBC says it's OK for El Pollo to take PEDS, just not Brown or anyone else!

Charles Martin is this for real?

 

Props to Ortiz for nearly beating wilder, imagine what and Ortiz in his 30’s would do to all these heavyweights.

 

Against Wilder it would be hillarious.

 

I can't say, Team Ortiz is crying about the DR check in the 8th not health so I imagine he felt like he did a good job himself. I don't mean to say I expect Ortiz to make excuses, but if he felt like he could have done better with different circumstances; he's not been shy about that.

That said, those trying to pretend like an illness negates the ballet of physics we all witnessed are low. The question is not did Luis put up a great fight, yes he most certainly did, whoopin' Wilder from pillar to post and all. The question is could he have done better as a healthy man, imo. To that end I'll not believe that until Kong claims it.

Best I can tell Team Ortiz is happy with everything but the moments when the Dr check Wilder ringside. I think it's a shame so many want to take from Kong's display to try to prove a point against Wilder though the transitive.

 

Was he not allowed to take anything for his blood pressure?

 

He was. There are plenty of blood pressure medications that don’t contained banned substances.

Roberto Duran was almost not allowed to fight SRL in their first fight in Montreal. Pre-fight physical showed heart issues. He had to have a complete heart work-up and was cleared.

Ortiz was checked out and found fit to fight. The bout itself proves this to be the correct decision. It was precautionary.

Big win for Wilder. Haters gonna hate and try to find a way to invalidate anything he does. SMH.

 

The commission nearly pulled Uzcategui out of the Dirrell rematch, too, and delayed the start of that fight by a half hour.

What a cluster that would've been if the commission pulled both Uzcategui and Ortiz.

Their commission doctors need to "nut up" as they say.

Who is running that commission, Dr. Phil? Are they going to start blocking fights if someone has hurt feelings, too?
