Wilder promises to KO Ortiz
Photo: Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME
WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder today made a solemn vow that he’s going to knock out Luis Ortiz when they collide March 3 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. “Ever since I’ve been a little boy, I’ve always been doubted no matter what,” said Wilder at a SHOWTIME press event. “As a grown man now, I’m still being doubted. I like proving people wrong. There’s nothing like proving somebody wrong. As I see it, I’m 39-0 with 38 KOs. Every time I promise I’m going to knock somebody out, I’ve done that. Come March 3, I promise I’m going to knock him out too!”

Wilder-Ortiz, Charlo, Thurman, Garcia, Broner & More! – Quotes
Showtime Boxing - January 24, 2018 5 Comments
SHOWTIME Sports and Premier Boxing Champions unveiled the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING television lineup for the first half of 2018 in an unprecedented, first-of-its-kind Boxing Upfront at Cipriani’s in New York City on Wednesday.
Legendary ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. introduced the matchups of 10 marquee events featuring 12 world champions, 14 undefeated fighters and 12 World Championship fights across the first six months of 2018. Among the fighters in attendance included Deontay Wilder, Danny Garcia, Jermall Charlo, Jermell Charlo, Mikey Garcia, Erislandy Lara, Adrien Broner, Keith Thurman, Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares and Errol Spence Jr.
Radio presenter and television personality Charlamagne the God hosted Wednesday’s event and spoke to each fighter in attendance. Here are some highlights of what the fighters had to say:
Deontay Wilder
“Ever since I’ve been a little boy, I’ve always been doubted no matter what. As a grown man now, I’m still being doubted. I like proving people wrong. There’s nothing like proving somebody wrong.
“As I see it, I’m 39-0 with 38 KOs. Every time I promise I’m going to knock somebody out, I’ve done that. Come March 3, I promise I’m going to knock him out too.”
“There’s an opportunity for a dreamer and March 3 is going to be a great fight.”
Jermall Charlo
“My ideal goal is to show everyone why I’m the best in the world at 160 pounds.”
Keith Thurman
“2017 was a great year. Unifying the WBA and the WBC titles was a dream come true. Since then, we had the elbow surgery but 2018 is a get-back year. I’m truly looking forward to being back in the ring May 19. After that, I’m going to bring a more exciting fight later on this year. There are a lot of contenders and champions gunning for my number one spot but I’m going to have to let them know that I’ll be right here at the top.”
Mikey Garcia
“Hopefully I get to accomplish this goal of winning the title in four different weight divisions on March 10. It’s an honor to be included on such a short list. This only opens up the doors to bigger fights and bigger things for my career. March 10 is just another small step closer to achieving my ultimate goal, which is to become the best fighter of this generation.”
Sergey Lipinets
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to be on SHOWTIME and fight in this event. I will give my best before I get in the ring and when I get in the ring. I guarantee it will be a war and a great fight and you won’t be disappointed.”
Adrien Broner
“I’m trying to outshine everybody. I have to go crazy. I have to rematch Mikey. I have to fight Shawn Porter. This fight is the start of the turn-up. I’m ready. Let’s get it on. He’s undefeated, I’m trying to give him his first loss.”
Gervonta Davis
“Young people make mistakes but the greats learn from it. I believe I’m the most skillful young guy that’s fighting on TV right now and in 2018, I want to show it.”
Jarrett Hurd
“It’s time to put everyone on notice who the best 154-pounder is. I know a win over Erislandy Lara will put me there so I’m coming for that number one spot.”
Leo Santa Cruz
“The fans can expect a full-action fight just like the first one, maybe even better. I know Abner Mares changed his trainer and Robert Garcia is a great trainer who will bring the best out of him. But we’re also smart. My dad is a great trainer who will bring the best out of me. It will be a great fight.”
“It’s been two years since I fought Leo Santa Cruz and all I’ve been thinking about is redemption. With Team Garcia, you’ve seen the change. If they think I’m going to fight the same way, they are in for a surprise.”
Jermell Charlo
“I’m going to stay fly, get my body count up and let that lion roar.”
Badou Jack
“It wasn’t my choice to relinquish the title, it was in the contract. Floyd [Mayweather] told me he would get me a bigger and better fight against Adonis Stevenson for the WBC title so I couldn’t pass that up.”

If Wilder KO's Ortiz does that make hime the real number 1 heavy?

Not for me.
Ortiz is 39 (or 50 depends on who you listen to) has multiple PED offences and has looked very average in recent fights.
TThere's too many questions over Ortiz, if this fight was coming straight after his brutal ko of jennings then yes.
But as is, AJ vs JP is the fight to decide the #1 contender.
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 01-25-2018
AJ is #1, just. If Wilder beats Ortiz, as he's faced the better competition. But I have Ortiz KO'ing Wilder in an upset.
RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 01-27-2018
Am I wrong in thinking that IF they get in the ring, and that's a big IF, that Ortiz does a Malik Scott and takes a blatant dive during the fight? t just doesn't make sense to me that Wilder and his team turn down a huge payday to fight the very average Dillian Whyte to then go and take the Ortiz fight for considerably less money when Ortiz is also a far better figher.

That scenario has been discussed by quite a few people and I wouldnt be surprised
