Y'all need to start listening to my predictions because I've been like Nostradamus recently. Old ass "boogeyman" was ready to keel over from a heart attack at the end of round 9 vs Wilder, we'll he won't like the pace of a Whyte fight one bit. Ortiz is soft in the midsection, and as AJ vs Povetkin proved even a few stiff jabs to the body can empty the tank of these old guys in dramatic fashion. Well "the body snatcher" isn't called that for nothing, and when a couple of those thundering hooks sink into ortiz' pudgy belly he will be reaching for the angina meds before you know it. Whyte KO 8 "boogeyman" and I predict it'll be ortiz sinking to the floor after a bodyshot and "pulling a cuban"
If Whyte beat Ortiz, there is no question it would put a damper on Wilders resume. But if Wilder beats Fury in the meantime, that won't mean too much. If Wilder LOSES to Fury, AND Whyte beats Ortiz, then yes, it would be a huge indictment of Wilder. Personally, I think Ortiz ko's Whyte. But I thought Whyte would lose to Parker too. Just like against Parker, Whyte is a live underdog and I wouldn't be surprised if he won. All that said, I don't think this fight will happen, unfortunately.
