Lomachenko — Ortiz online broadcast of the fight

The next night, or rather early in the morning on October 30, approximately at 6:00 am Kyiv time, the ex-world champion Vasily Lomachenko will meet in the ring with American Jermain Ortiz. The fight will take place in New York City at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden.

06:25. Congratulations to Vasily on his 17th victory in the professional ring, thanks to Ortiz for a great fight and goodbye to you. Thank you for spending these few hours with the Sport Arena and stay with us. And we are waiting for the Lomachenko-Haney fight and, of course, the victory of Ukraine. Everything will be good!

06:24. All! All three judges gave the victory to Lomachenko – 115:113, 116:112 and 117:111. Of course, one can argue with the last assessment, but this does not change the essence: the Ukrainian won a very difficult duel. We pay tribute to Jemaine Ortiz – he caused problems, fought to the last and was ready to surprise. But Lomachenko’s class made itself felt.

06:22. In the meantime, a few moments of the final round.

06:20. Twelfth round. And this three-minute period is for Lomachenko. Vasily dominated the ring, finding the strength to almost in one breath to carry out the round, and then also to complete it with several bright attacks. Ortiz fought as best he could and as much as he could, but class is class — Lomachenko proved it. 115:113 comes out on points, but we are waiting for the judge’s verdict.

06:16. Eleventh round. Takes three minutes Lomachenko. The Ukrainian does everything competently – a few punches and then entering the clinch, a couple of punches on the way out or on exit. Lomachenko is precise and calm. Ortiz did not swim, but it is very difficult for him. The result, as they say, on the face of an American, which is very swollen. 105:104 comes out in rounds in favor of Lomachenko.

06:12. Tenth round. A very close three-minute. More and more clinches, less and less activities. Lomachenko started the round great, but then slowed down a bit. Ortiz is already very heavy. Lomachenko takes the three minutes, according to our calculations, the score is equal – 95:95, and there are two championship rounds ahead. Ortiz has never passed them in his career, Lomachenko is obliged to take them on experience. But let’s see how it will be. Everything goes to the judges’ decisions.

06:08. Ninth round. Either the boxers took a break, or they got tired, but the three-minute session turned out to be not very interesting. Ortiz visually looked better, tried to throw punches more often, feint. Lomachenko is too passive so far. The story with Lopez would not be repeated. Let’s give the round to the American — 86:85 in favor of Ortiz, so far we’ve been successful.

06:04. Eighth round. Early on we wrote off Ortiz. The American, having “rested” for two rounds, again caught the right rhythm and returned the right pace of the fight. Jemaine is more accurate than the Ukrainian and throws more punches. And, admittedly, accurate and unpleasant. The result is a round for Ortiz, and a draw by our count of 76:76. But the Ukrainian needs to change something. And already pretty fast.

06:00. Seventh round. He is also taken by Lomachenko. Ortiz is still dangerous, but he has a huge problem with his left eye, where he has formed a hematoma. Plus, it seems that the American is starting to give up physically, unable to keep up with the pace of the Ukrainian. 67:66 we get by rounds in favor of Lomachenko.

05:57. Oh, Devin Haney is at the fight. I came to see my possible opponent. I wonder who the undisputed lightweight champion of the world is rooting for?

05:56. Sixth round. Wow! You can breathe out. Lomachenko added and immediately Ortiz had problems. The American simply does not keep up with the Ukrainian, who is already starting to punch and, most importantly, hit with almost any blow. The round for Lomachenko, according to our calculations, is a draw in the ring – 57:57 after the equator of the fight.

05:52. Fifth round. Lomachenko “explodes” at times, works serially and in combination, but Ortiz has visual superiority. He is calm, confident and precise. Maybe it’s all about Lomachenko’s usual slow start, but so far, according to our calculations, he is losing on points. 48:47 in favor of Ortiz comes out with us.

05:48. Fourth round. And now it’s worrying. Ortiz, one gets the impression, has mastered both in the ring and against an opponent. Yes, Lomachenko works as the first number, but Jemaine looks more accurate and better prepared. 38:38 so far we are getting it in rounds.

05:44. Third round. The Ukrainian takes him. Basically – due to a successful attack in the last minute. As the saying goes, experience is experience: Lomachenko caught Ortiz and nearly knocked him down with a left-handed punch. The American survived. 29:28 So far, we’ve got Lomachenko in favor of the rounds, but, let’s face it, the fight isn’t going well for Vassily.

05:41. Second round. Ortiz seems to have gotten used to Lomachenko. The American began to act more relaxed and bold. Vasily, as for himself, misses a bit. You can give the round to Ortiz.

05:37. First round. Lomachenko looks more active, but Ortiz is also a good guy. He works great as the second number, does not hesitate to hit forward. You can give a round to Lomachenko for his activity and status, but with a stretch.

05:33. And here is the exit of the Ukrainian. We believe in Lomachenko. The audience welcomes the Ukrainian.

05:30. Ortiz is already in the ring. The American looks very confident and relaxed.

05:15. While preparations are underway for the main fight of the evening, we note that this is already the sixth fight for Lomachenko in New York. All five previous Ukrainian won.

05:10. And yes, since we are talking about the undercard fight, we will also note the next, already the seventh victory in the professional ring of the grandson of Muhammad Ali – Nico Walsh. This time he took on Billy Wagner.

05:05. And this is how Lomachenko’s team arrived at Madison Square Garden. Pay attention to clothes. And yes, Oleksandr Usyk also came to support his godfather and friend.

05:00. Everything is ready for the main event of the evening in New York and the morning in Ukraine. The co-main fight of the evening has already ended, in which Robeisi Ramirez, with complete superiority, defeated Jose Romero by technical knockout.

Good evening! Sport Arena welcomes you to the online big night of boxing in New York, the main fight of which will be the fight Vasily Lomachenko – Jemaine Ortiz.

One of the strongest Ukrainian boxers of our time has not entered the ring since December last year. And he had very little time to prepare. The fight is extremely important for Loma: if successful, he will claim a championship fight against Devin Haney.

Lomachenko – Ortiz: layouts

Vasily has not held a championship fight for two years (after losing to Lopez). This is the longest “titular” downtime in his career. The last time the Ukrainian entered the ring was in December 2021 (a victory over Commi).

This year, his battle with Kambosos did not take place – the reason was the Russian military invasion. Lomachenko spent some time in the territorial defense of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky. And only in August began preparations for a new battle. Vasily received special permission to leave for the United States, but immediately after the battle he would return and continue his service.

Ortiz is far from the most status boxer, a sort of “pig in a poke”. He is 26 years old, and there were very few significant fights in his career. The current fight against one of the strongest boxers in the division is a big challenge and a big chance for the American. By the way, in the professional ring Ortiz has not lost yet: 16 wins, one draw.

Note that New York is a successful place for Vasily Lomachenko. The Ukrainian boxer had five fights in this city and won everything. Including three – specifically in the Hulu arena.

The victory over Ortiz will not bring instant rewards to our compatriot, but it is extremely necessary in strategic terms. If successful, Lomachenko will be able to really qualify for a duel with Haney for the title of absolute champion.
