Teofimo Lopez Vs. Jamaine Ortiz WBO Welterweight Title February 8

[coin-investor]

Nothing spectacular on that press conference though, both has so much respect with each other. If Teo will stay relax and not get clip early, he will definitely win this fight. Ortiz is much taller but I don't think it has a advantage in this fight. It's more on the boxing IQ, and as per Teo, he has mature now and so he has the experience against Ortiz.

They already met in the ring nine years ago in their amateur days, Lopez won the match but he earned respect of Lopez so they know each other but not that well since they amateur fought and we all know that there are great amateur boxers that did not translate their success in the professional, while there are boxers who are a poor performer in the amateur but ended to be great champions we can site boxers like Tyson, Wilder and many great names to mention

During their amateur days, Lopez and Ortiz locked horned horns.

They met as teenagers in the final of the Golden Gloves at junior lightweight in May 2015. At the end of three rounds, Lopez was the victor but Ortiz got his licks in.

I also going to bet on Lopez when he is not triggered and relaxed he is a very good tactician in the ring, and he seems fine in the interview not unlike the Kambosos fight where he is triggered by thrashtalks.

He is more focus now.. I think he already learned his lessoned when he experience his first loss, but currently he is on a winning streak on a very convincing wins. It wasn't a surprise that 10 of the voters in the poll have voted for Lopez to win either by KO or UD, total votes goes to him.

Nothing is special with Ortiz , he is not even a KO artist, so how can he beat Lopez who has the power in both hands, can withstand heavy punches, and a very smart boxer in the ring. As we can see in the OP, Ortiz only have 8 KO's from 17 wins which is only 47% KO rate, not a real threat.

Here's the press con yesterday.  It felt like Teo was not in his right mind anymore  I couldn't find a proper emoji to insert to describe him  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWn58IwLtQs

All the time, he was pretending to be reading that Bruce Lee book that he tried to apply to himself. It felt like this was a loss anymore. I'm having doubts Teo will win this fight. It's like listening to someone with deep thoughts I think he said he already has climbed the top and come back down again so he understands it all. He lives in his small book.

Correct, not sure what's going in the mind of Teo and the way he talks, looks like he is high and talk something about his idol Bruce Lee and then previous Puerto Rican great boxers and then Jesus? WTF? And then have some words on Keyshawn Davis beside him.

So not sure what to get out of this press conference in my opinion, no animosity to bring fight to this fight or something that fans can be excited for his defense of his belt.

It was different though in the weigh-in, Teo trying to punk Ortiz, but it's not working. But it good to hear that they have the same weight, or at least no one goes about the 140 lbs and make this fight difficult for both sides.

Just a good laugh as someone telling Teo to read his book, 

[btc_angela]

I will be more interested on Keyshawn Davis, he could be the next big star for boxing here. And yeah maybe in the future he will call out Teo at 140 lbs. Keyshawn though has a lot in his plate at Lightweight, all roads lead to Tank Davis or Shakur Stevenson.

That will be the biggest fight at 135 lbs, but let's see if he is just hype or really the next big thing for us.

So it's better to see if he can live to the noise behind his name, at least we will know what the future will be at Lightweight with Keyshawn.

Can't wait to watch this fight. Teo will again showcase his special talent, and might easily dispose Ortiz  in this battle.

Don't miss the betting odds of the fight.
Teo x1.18 vs Oritz x 5.80 ( big underdog)

I think I'm going to be on Teo to win via KO, currently it's @2.90... It's unlikely but I like to see Ortiz being aggressive so he'll not last 12 rounds. I still respect the power of Teo with 13 Ko from 19 fights.

I like Teofimo's reaction to their faceoff he is more relaxed and calculated gone are the days where he resorted to cheap thrash talk like he did with Kambosos he learned a lot from that fight.
I agree that this should be an easy assignment for Teofimo before heading for big fights maybe after this fight he will go for a unification title, and fight either Haney or Matias, Teofimo is ambitious the three champions in that weight divisions are all undefeated so its better that after this fight Lopez negotiate for a title unification

I'm just going to throw peanuts for Ortiz by UD because I have some gut feeling this is gonna be an upset and then I'm more confident in Ortiz.

Because Teo had not KO Loma, he may not be able to KO Ortiz as well, Jamaine Ortiz is not named The Technician for nothing. He also survived against Loma without getting knocked out. It's all just my hunch, I didn't get rich with my gut feeling but I certainly won some of my bets because of it.

Why not mate? he is a huge underdog and odd makers didn't respecdt that Ortiz survived against Loma and even give Loma a good fight. Ortiz also has a underrated footwork that might gave Teo problems early.

And if he was not able to solved that, they maybe it's going to be a very close fight for Teo and he has to rally late like what Loma did against Ortiz. But we all know that Lopez is not known to be a technical boxer, he just loves to brawl and this could be a wrong style for him against Ortiz.

edit: end of round six and not much action for both boxers as Ortiz is very mobile while Lopez fails to cut the gap between them and the crowd seems to be sleepy at the moment hehe.

Thanks bro, great timing. the 2nd round has just finished and thus far they are still adjusting. This Jamaine Ortiz is quite slick, he moved a lot and doesn't go toe to toe battle with Lopez, so there's a huge chance that we might not see a KO here, rather the fight will end via decision.

Edit : people seemed not enjoying the action as Ortiz  became like Mayweather, he is so defensive here.

I hope Lopez won't get too frustrated...

You're welcome bro.

Lopez did win the fight with not much engagement as Ortiz was disciplined enough to stick to their game plan. Though i agree with the judges to give the fight to Lopez but he should have done more on cutting the gap between them, you just could not stand there and expect your opponent to come and hit you, this is boxing, hit and don't get hit lol.

117-111, 115-113 (2X), were the scores of the judges for Lopez.

~snip~

Both of them are boxers who can be said to have had good careers but their records cannot really be undefeated fighters, both of them had quite sensational fights but I failed to get the win.
Lopez had to accept quite disappointing defeat against George Kambosos and this defeat made him lose his dream of winning the title, as did Ortiz, who was defeated by Vasiliy Lomachenko.
But in the fight for the WBO title at the Michelob Ultra Arena, it was Lopez biggest achievement because he managed to defend his WBO welterweight title for the first time, he looked so happy with a glowing face and teary eyes.
Lopez looks like he can't believe the victory he achieved and of course this is big victory for Lopez.

This is the second big win for Lopez because he previously won the title by defeating former undisputed king Josh Taylor.
Congratulations to Teofimo Lopez who managed to win and retain his WBO title.

Teofimo was very lackluster but managed to edge out a decision. Jamaine Ortiz had a new Cuban trainer and his style tonight reminded me of Rigondeaux and Erislandy Lara because of how boring that performance was. Running around might have frustrated Teo but what was lacking for Ortiz was some offense. Teo also didn't do much but he finished the fight a little stronger and I had him winning those final two rounds, which made the difference on the scorecards.

If Teofimo struggled this much against Ortiz, it's going to be much worse against someone like Devin Haney. Teo called out Crawford but that is a fight he would lose badly. He should instead focus on somebody like Subriel Matias, whose aggressive style is a much better matchup. Even though there's a lot of risk, it will be a fan friendly fight that can elevate Teo's stock after some inconsistent and sometimes disappointing performances.

Yes, no fanfare in this fight, Ortiz becoming a south paw but it was not that effective against Teo. Lopez is the quicker of the two and I will say that it has power behind those peek-a-boo style of him. And it might have that Ortiz felt the power that's why he just try to run circles and then throw couple of punch and then hug that's why the fans didn't like what they see in the fight. But it is still a win for Lopez here, I haven't seen the post fight interview, but maybe a reunification fight with other champion. He also say that Matias is the easiest fight for him for all those champions, so we will see.

@FinneysTrueVision - Do you agree that Matias is the weakest of the champion in that division?

That is according to Teo, actually he said all Puerto Rican fighters are easy fights.

[btc_angela]

I will be more interested on Keyshawn Davis, he could be the next big star for boxing here. And yeah maybe in the future he will call out Teo at 140 lbs. Keyshawn though has a lot in his plate at Lightweight, all roads lead to Tank Davis or Shakur Stevenson.

That will be the biggest fight at 135 lbs, but let's see if he is just hype or really the next big thing for us.

So it's better to see if he can live to the noise behind his name, at least we will know what the future will be at Lightweight with Keyshawn.

As I have said, the fight that I wanted to see is Keyshawn Davis and he didn't disappoint his fans as he completely dominated Pedraza and the referee had to stop the fight and Pedraza is no match for Keyshawn. He just tee off right from round 1, with that huge body shots after body shots and Pedraza was soften right after round 3.

So who will be the next for Davis, maybe he needs a couple of fights before he can go and look for Shakur or Tank Davis.

Prospect is there for him, but for me, needed more to test himself before chasing for the belts.

Unfortunately, there's no brawl here, Ortiz was just in survival mode the way I see it throughout the fight. He will just swing and then try to fight outside by Lopez was wise enough to counter him all night with right hand.

So as per the judges, it went to distance but it's no close fight and the winner is still the champion in Teo Lopez.

If Teo thinks Matias is easy then go for him and get his belt.

He was really frustrated but good thing he won the fight. I don't know why he was emotional after he was announce as the winner, I think he wasn't sure that he will win the fight because he was always saying that Ortiz  didn't come to fight. It was a boring fight, we didn't see a real entertainment and it seems like Ortiz understands he will be KO if he choose to go toe to toe with the champion. Hopefully next time Lopez would be able to find an opponent that would really accept his challenge so they will not be boo'd by the fans.

I don't know but it seems that Teo is very emotional boxer and he just shows his emotion after that fight. Perhaps it was his mentality going to the fight or he thinks he was lucky enough to get the judges decision and he should knock Ortiz out and not go to the judges scorecard.

Ortiz went as high as 7:1 underdog here so very hard to see him winning and pull that upset.

So Lopez retain his belt and obviously should look for money fight next, Ryan Garcia could be a good fight for both of them as both are stars and so there will be big PPV numbers I reckon.
