‘Tuned Out to Watch the Real P4P King Jake Paul’: Fans in Frenzy as Vasyl Lomachenko Defeats Jamaine Ortiz in Their 12 Rounds of Battle

Former lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko stood tall in his return to the sport after beating Jamaine Ortiz. Lomachenko won the bout via unanimous decision as the judges scored the match 115-113, 116-112, and 117-111, all in favor of the Ukrainian. However, despite the scorecard, the match was much closer than what it reflected.

From the opening bell, Ortiz took the center of the ring and was very aggressive. His use of a consistent jab stood out as he dictated the round, also opening a cut in Lomachenko’s eyes. Moreover, with confidence at this point, Ortiz came out even more aggressively in the second period.

However, the former champion would adjust his rhythm in the latter stages of the fight and move according to Ortiz’s pace. As the 10th round approached, the Puerto Rican seemed to be on tired legs. Lomachenko took advantage of this as he chased down Ortiz in the championship rounds and secured the victory.

Fans react to Vasyl Lomachenko beating Jamaine Ortiz

One fan declared that he now wanted to see Lomachenko face Haney. He also stated that anyone doubting the former champ was in for a surprise.

Another fan claimed that although he deserved the win, the scorecard was too one-sided.

One fan even refuted the claim that Ortiz won the fight. He stated while it was a close fight Lomachenko easily won at least 7 of the 12 rounds.

One fan claimed that Lomachenko won but criticized the scorecard. However, he added that Ortiz let the final rounds slip away.

However, one fan claimed that Lomachenko was now having a hard time closing distance with his jab. According to him, the likes of Devin Haney could beat him in his current state.

Another fan called the fight ‘complete bulls**t’ and wanted Lomachenko to stay away from the likes of Devin Haney, Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson.

Lastly, one fan hilariously claimed that he tuned out of this fight to watch Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva also calling Paul the pound-for-pound king.

The fans seemed to agree that this was somewhat of a mediocre showing by the former champion. However, his 10-month hiatus from the sport needs to be taken into consideration while judging his performance. Despite that, the major consensus was that Lomachenko will certainly not fare well against Haney at this point and needed a few warm-up fights before challenging the undisputed champion.
