I like the fight could be some exciting exchanges from these two power houses

[N2 Shape]

Good fight between 2 solid heavyweights.

Winner faces Chagaev then? Could be worse i suppose

[vovazilvova]

I hope winner faces Chagaev, too many WBA champions

[cold187]

the more of these fights the better for wladimir for 2 reasons

1. can fight people coming off reasonable wins

2. one less weaker option to fight

[punchoutsb]

This is a good fight on paper. I'd like to see Kayode get the win. He's not a world class operator but I've always liked him. Ortiz is lazy, which even the fight up even though Ortiz is technically better.

[jockpunk]

Ortiz should win this easily. Didn't kayode draw with tarver?

[Tarkus]

Kayode clearly defeated Tarver I thought, draw was a BS home decision. Still I dont give him a chance in hell against Ortiz. Too big, too technical, too strong.

[Tony1244]

Ortiz decided to have a match?

Quite big of him.

[HomicideHenry]

Why is it that in these 'contenders' matches, they pick the least known and least cared about people to be fighting?

Call it a title match all you want, but this is a rather weak bout. At least on paper.

Breaking news: It was just announced that I am now the new WBA interim light heavyweight champion of the Greater Kansas City Area, of the age between 50 years and 5 months to 50 years and 7 months.

[pugilisticprofessor]

Kayode has had 2 wins at heavyweight against Travis Fulton and 9-7 Jonte Willis, it is laughable that he can get a title shot.

Congrats but we all know you are avoiding the WBA interim light heavyweight champion of St Louis.
So you still suck

[Tony1244]

If Kayode KOd Ortiz, I'd laugh so hard I would never stop.

[Woldemar]

Ortiz takes it.
