I like the outcome of the fight, though it's expected that Loma would win the fight but what we all witnessed was obviously a very entertaining fight. Loma this fight via unanimous decision, so for sure he is ready to face Haney, we can expect this big fight early next year as both fighters are really eager to fight each other.
Though Loma wasn't at his best but still we were able to witness an amazing performance which I think was enough for him to face Haney next year if things will be sorted out right like whose gonna have the bigger slice of the pie. Ortiz was a live underdog and for sure his future is bright if he continues and improve his fighting style.
Congrats Loma and bettors by the way, what was the odds for Loma winning via decision?
Loma to win by decision was 1.88 while 1.96 for KO, almost even.
Lost my bet but as i thought that Loma will KO Ortiz but the 10 month layoff may have affected his performance today but no regret, it was still a good fight for Loma.
Yes, he might have been affected by his long layoff, or it is Ortiz is that good that Loma can't executed his game plan into perfection. And as I have said, Ortiz is very big at this division, you can see the difference when they clinch. And as gamblers, sometimes we win sometimes we lost, no regrets for us.
And with that said, I'm going to lock this thread for good.
Loma winning by a tough decision against a young Ortiz.
And hopefully we might see Haney vs Loma as promised by Bob Arum next year.
