Weigh in.  Ortiz looks flabby.  Wilder looks ripped.

...and this comment: 10 days ago Ortiz was at about 230. At 241 hes carb loading, dont be fooled, that extra 10-15 pounds of fat hes put on the last week is energy to burn throughout the fight, he's in excellent shape.

are they showing the whole card?
If so the main fight would be 430 -5?

Nah they usually only show 3 fights with American coverage.

Wilder has come in very light for this fight. I expect him to come in looking to jab and move similar to how he fought Stiverne the first time.

[bart]

Probably Wilder doesn't need extra weight to generate power- and is looking to stay on outside and keep Ortiz moving. As u say like the 1st Stiverne fight where Wilder fought pretty disciplined off the jab

[diehard]

With Washington, Wilder fought on the outside, using his jab, until Washington, by his own admission, got too comfortable. Then he was KO'd.

Ortiz clearly beat Malik Scott, but he was frustrated having to chase him. Look for him to chase Wilder until Wilder decides to fight. Then Wilder will get KO'd.
