PBC Boxing is making some great material covering this rematch. When this fight was first announced many people said why?
The reasons for this is the mega fight with Tyson Fury was 3 months away; Wilder knocked Ortiz out in their last meeting; and Ortiz is getting on in years.
As we are getting closer to the fight they whys are turning into concerns as Ortiz is they type of fighter that can give Wilder problems, and that type of fighter is a Technical Boxer.
Ortiz's big problem was that his cardio was lacking and he ran out of gas in the 10th after his strong run in the 7th. Ortiz is working on his cardio so the feeling is things will be different.
The problem for Ortiz is that Wilder was sick prior and during the first fight so this is going to be interesting.
