Jemaine Ortiz believes that it is unfair to count him as a loser in the fight against the former world champion.
Jemaine Ortiz says he wants a rematch with former three-division world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko. The American boxer believes that in the first fight with the Ukrainian he was unfairly beaten by the judges.
According to Ortiz, he has become stronger since the fight and knows how to win.
“Lomachenko planned his actions very well and he accelerated the pace at the end of each round. I want to avenge this loss. I definitely learned how to increase the speed to give a strong finish, and how important taking the championship rounds.
I feel that our fight is closer than his fight with Haney. I think in my fight with Loma, my lunges were cleaner strikes, but Devin missed their fight too much. Loma hit me clean a few times towards the end of the fight, but he didn’t kill me or throw me a five or six punch combination, like he did in his fight with Haney. Against me, he only threw one punch at a time, because he was afraid I would throw an answer,” Boxing Scene quotes Ortiz as saying.
Let’s remember that last year Lomachenko defeated Ortiz by unanimous decision, and in May of this year he controversially lost on points to Haney.
Earlier, the next opponent of Vasily Lomachenko was identified.
