RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 09-30-2019
Early stoppage but teteh had literally nothing for dubois
RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 09-30-2019
Yip Inferno Tettah had no business being in that ring
Dubois did what he had to do but hopefully a step up in opposition next fight ( his previous opponent was much better) against someone identifiable would be good, a Chisora type or similar.
Joyce doesn't seem interested
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 10-01-2019
How would Fa go against Dubois or Joyce?
RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 10-01-2019
Unless for life changing $$ Fa should stay away from those 2 is my opinion. But hey if he and his team believe he is at that level then go 4 it.
A Gerald Washington type level fight may be a good guide to see where Fa is at..win that and you never know then a Fury fight could be offered

RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 10-01-2019
I think Joyce is beatable by Fa but im starting to get pretty sold on Dubois

Luis Ortiz: I’m ready to be a champion
By Miguel Maravilla
Cuban heavyweight contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (31-1, 26 KO’s) will get another crack at a world title when he meets WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KO’s) in a rematch taking place November 23 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.
“I”m happy and thank God for the rematch and I thank Wilder for having the balls to give me this rematch,” Ortiz told Fightnews.com®. “I’m excited about this fight. I’m going to make the most of it and I won’t let it slip away.”
Having met nearly over a year ago in a recent heavyweight classic, Ortiz hit the canvas in the fifth but the Cuban had his moment hurting Wilder and staggering him with the champ being saved by the bell. Unfortunately for Ortiz, Wilder was able to stop him in the tenth, giving Wilder his toughest fight to date.
“There are no excuses. The first fight is over. I’m focused now on this fight,” Ortiz said. “Wilder hasn’t forgotten about me. I’m not done and I will prove it. I want the knockout.”
Since suffering his defeat to Wilder, Ortiz has won three straight fights. Scoring a pair of knockouts over Razvan Cojanu and Travis Kauffman. Ortiz is coming off a unanimous decision over Christian Hammer as he looks to even the score with Wilder.
“The only thing that has changed is the desire to win and my rage,” Ortiz stated.
Since their fight, Wilder has fought twice as he fought Tyson Fury to draw in a wild one last November. In his last fight, Wilder scored a quick first round knockout over 2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic Breazeale this past May setting the stage for the rematch with Ortiz.
“He’s been doing what he has to do to win. I’m grateful for that because now I’m here for the rematch. I’ve trained very hard since my loss and it will all culminate on November 23,” Ortiz said.
There are already other plans for Ortiz opponent Wilder, to have another rematch with Tyson Fury, later next year. Ortiz, however, plans to derail the planned rematch between Wilder and Fury as he seeks revenge and looks to redeem himself. When asked what he thought about the Wilder-Fury plans, Ortiz responded.
“I’m not worried about that. I’m ready to be a champion and I want the knockout,” Ortiz said.

(WBA light heavyweight title)
Disappointing opponents for both Usyk and Bivol. As Usyk is making his debut at heavyweight I guess it is understandable that his first opponent is hardly a big name, and as for Bivol it is no fault of his own that he has ended up with a stay busy fight against Castillo since the other champions at light heavyweight already have other commitments (Kovalev against Canelo in early November and the Beterbiev-Gvozdyk unification in a couple of weeks time).

Spong fails drug test; Usyk to get new foe
Promoter Eddie Hearn has announced that heavyweight Tyrone Spong is out as Oleksandr Usyk’s opponent this Saturday night at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago. “We have been contacted by VADA to inform us that there has been an adverse finding in Tyrone Spong’s test,” Hearn announced on social media. “It has been sent to the State of Illinois Commission and further information will be released in the morning. We have reserve opponents standing by.”
Former undisputed cruiserweight champ Usyk (16-0, 12 KOs) will be making his heavyweight debut.
