"King Kong Ain't Got Nothin on De. . .ontay" Wilder vs Ortiz 3/3 SHOWTIME Fight Thread

[patscorpio]

The issue is that I was trying to do the hidden flights thing. So I'm supposed to go SFO, ORD, LGA, and then end up in Pittsburgh.

The NYC flight has been scrapped completely, so either I stay in Chicago, find another flight to NYC (seems like they're all getting cancelled right now,) or go to Pittsburgh.

I'm flipping out. All the flights out of Chicago leave late in the PM tomorrow, the only morning flight got booked up quick.


Anyone have any ideas on how I can finesse myself to Brooklyn by tomorrow?

Any buses or trains?

Ortiz - 241
Wilder - 214 (Lightest since 2009)

Wilder fights his best under 220lbs IMO, this is a good sign

Damn G, did you try multiple airlines? How about buying a stand by ticket where you can fill in if a passenger doesn't make it?

Weigh in already happened??

 

[patscorpio]

214 is light..which means a lot of movement by wilder but also could compromise his punch resistance

Any buses or trains?

Just got a ticket Chi - NYC for $109 but I'm going to arrive at 6:40 or so. Hoping that's enough time for me to drop my shyt off at the Airbnb and catch the main.

I did. NYC is hell to get to right now, hella flights cancelled. Nothing would get me to LGA before 9 really.

It says 14 minutes away from the Airbnb. Penn station to the Airbnb is like 40-50 minutes.

I'm really about to catch a 19hr train ride to NYC for this shyt why would god cancel my flight like this.

I'm salty tho the Amtrak site is trash. Almost bought a ticket that would've gotten me to NYC by 4:30, and it crashed. Sold out, now I'm taking a later trip.

Deontay Wilder has big plans. They don’t particularly include Luis Ortiz, against whom Wilder defends his WBC heavyweight title Saturday (on Showtime, coverage starts at 9 p.m.). Photos by Ryan Hafey, Amanda Wescott & Ed Diller.

Wilder weighed in at a very low 214-pounds, while Ortiz was a shade over 241-pounds.

Wilder is looking at a matchup with fellow champion Anthony Joshua — as soon as possible.

That’s not necessarily a wise move, looking beyond an opponent. Wilder shrugs and lets out a hefty laugh.

“There’s no factor that will be difficult,” Wilder says of the matchup on Showtime at Barclays Center. “He does some good things as boxing fundamental skills. All Cuban boxers have it — they teach that. They put their combinations together well.

“Ortiz has got nothing, but maybe it goes three rounds. No, maybe he has four good rounds in him. I am going to finish with him in devastating fashion, send a message to Joshua. Tell Joshua he got to do what he got to do, but he should be worried about me.”

Wilder’s last defense was a joke. Ortiz dropped out of the bout when he tested positive for performance enhancers, and Bermane Stiverne stepped in. That lasted less than a round.

That Wilder even had to bother with the out-of-shape Stiverne was an annoyance to the Alabama star, who barely worked up a sweat in improving to 39-0 with 38 knockouts; Stiverne in 2015 went the distance.
