Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) defeated Jamaine Ortiz (16-1-1, 8 KOs) on points in the main event of the Top Rank evening in New York. After the final gong, the judges gave the victory to the ex-world champion in three weight categories with a score of 115-113, 116-112 and 117-111.

In the first rounds, the American gave the Ukrainian a lot of problems and surprised him with single counter blows. But as the fight progressed, Lomachenko began to take control of the fight. The meeting with Ortiz was his return to the ring after almost a year's break.

In the next performance, Lomachenko should fight with the undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney.
