Father and coach of the former absolute world champion in the lightweight division Teofimo Lopez (17-1, 13 KOs) Teofimo Lopez Sr. said that his son's former opponent Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 13 KOs) deserved a victory over Jamaine Ortiz (16-1-1, 8 KOs).
āI think Lomachenko dominated the entire fight. He may have lost a few rounds, but not many. I think the unanimous decision of the judges was good.
Was Lomachenko the same as in the fight with my son? Not at all. It seemed to me that it was a little rusty. But Lomachenko cannot be blamed for this. He didn't fight for a certain time. Considering the situation in Ukraine, everything that happened there, I think that he is still capable of defeating Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson. Even with his performance like that, I saw Lomachenko take most of the rounds. It seems to me that he will return and perform well, āsaid the specialist in an interview with Themistode YouTube channel.
Recall that on October 30, Lomachenko defeated Ortiz by unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112, 117-111).
