This weekend WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will defend his title against Cuban powerhouse Luis Ortiz.

It all goes down from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn where Wilder looks to make his seventh consecutive title defense. He will step into the ring against the undefeated Ortiz on Showtime Saturday night.

For the past several weeks Ortiz has been talking a lot of trash; saying he plans to track down Wilder's chin as he believes he's vulnerable. Wilder has found himself in trouble in the past in several fights as he got rocked.

Ortiz, however, has never been in that sort of danger. In a recent interview Wilder responded to these claims, and while he acknowledges Ortiz has never been in trouble inside the ring during his career, he has never faced a puncher like Wilder (quotes via Boxing Scene):

"Ortiz has never faced nobody with my caliber. Ortiz ain't never faced nobody with the intensity, with the mindset that I have or with the natural killer instinct that I have.

"All that sh*t goes out the window when you get in the ring with a real one. I don't care about all that. That ain't nothing," Wilder said.

"There is nothing that man's going to do to touch me where he's going to hurt me. I'm going to walk through all that. I'm telling you. That's nothing. I've seen his style many, many, many times.

"I've fought it coming-up in the amateurs. I've got a lot of Cuban friends. I know their style. Trust me. And I can't wait. That's why I do my talking. I talk my talk so I can walk my walk."

All of Ortiz's trash talk has been motivating Wilder throughout his camp, so much so that he's vowing to take the Cuban's head off:

"Anybody else on the outside of the ring can't talk the talk because they're not going to be able to walk that green mile. His trainers, his promoters, his people around him are not going to be able to walk the green mile.

"Luis Ortiz is going to be the only person that's going to be able to have to suffer the consequences and the more they talk, the more punishment that comes on him.

"Everything intensifies my anticipation of knocking his head off," Wilder said.
