WBA Strips Ortiz Of Interim Title

Why did you change that pic of you looking thicker than peanut butter in the freezer? I petition that you put that back up.

 

He didn't pull from Ustinov fight.
Ustinov failed to proceed with VADA test, kind of ignored it.
stripping Ortiz is just an excuse to get him out of the way and get some candy for Wlad or Joshua.

 

Here's my thinking. Eddie Hearn and Luiz Ortiz had a chat and decided to let the WBA 'strip' Ortiz of his interim title. He's still ranked number 1 by the WBA. But now because he doesn't have the interim title, the other sanctioning bodies will rank him again, which gives him the opportunity to fight Joshua (and others)

 

I do think Ortiz might be a bit naive if he thinks he'll get a straight shot at Joshua next year. Wouldn't surprise me, if Eddie strings him on a couple years, getting him to fight some cans before he even thinks of putting him in there with Anthony. And you can bet your ass, it will be when he starts to slip. The Malik Scott fight implies that. I can't see where Scott is ranked by the major organizations. The bout is a little pointless in my opinion. Terrible mismatch.

 

It's a pity AJ is fighting Molina otherwise Ortiz could fight him for his WBC ranking.

 

It's tempting, Malik can box on even terms with Ortiz but there
is his "deficiency"
