My money is on wilder but I will admit Ortiz stylistically is a nightmare for him, could go either way. I think these are the top 2 best heavyweights around right now and were about to find out which is number one
Have to add, I believe Joshua beats Parker and want Joshua to win. But can you imagine Hearn's face if Parker laid AJ out?
I don't have a preference for who wins. I don't mind seeing Wilder lose as he talks a lot of ****. Don't mind if he wins because it keeps alive the potential for a big, exciting fight/event against Joshua. I just want to see a legitimate, fair fight without controversy.
I'm no fan by any means, but his CV, while lacking a genuine A level HW in or close to prime, it's still a good resume overall. Win for win on par with Povetkins imo. That said, he's been sitting on that title for far too long to finally fight a legit threat, and as we've both been preaching, a good fighter, who is old AND IN ROID WITHRAWAL. Overall though, Wilder has proven better than most of us have thought
Want wilder for a few reasons none of which are disliking Ortiz I kinda get a kick out of him. But I gotta be honest up until Friday I would have picked wilder but then came the weigh in. Their is absolutely nothing good about wilder being 214 pounds. Actually I think it will be his downfall. Mabey he would have got ko’d anyway but that weight being as low as it is I can see nothing punches shaking wilder up from the start. I don’t know if it was strategic or just over doing it in the gym but wilder should be at least 225.
I have a dozen eggs ready to scramble up....do you like cheese and onions in your omelette? Some ham perhaps?
214 3/4? Wilder is in shape! He hasn't been in that kind of fighting trim almost since his pro debut. I won't be surprised if he takes Ortiz out in the first round.
I am rooting for Ortiz, as he seems humble and quiet. Wilder has already wasted his prime. Beating a 38 year old is really nothing to brag about, but we've been so starved by the heavyweight division, that we're licking our chops because Ortiz is seemingly better than Eric Molina. Wilder is 32 now, and his time to make noise was three or four years ago.
