This is a consequential contest for how the upper end of the 135-pound division looks heading into 2023.

Vasiliy Lomachenko’s Betting Outlook vs Ortiz

Lomachenko has back-to-back victories under his belt since dropping multiple lightweight world titles.

The Ukrainian native is also returning to the ring following a period of time defending his country from the Russian invasion.

Vasiliy Lomachenko looks to again cement himself as a unified world champion and many foresee him soon pursuing a fight with Devin Haney who sits atop the lightweight ranks now.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist aims to continue his historic run of professional success. Lomachenko won a world title in his third pro contest, became a three-weight division world champion by his twelfth bout, and he seems hungry to continue to build upon this legacy.

But the former divisional kingpin must get by an undefeated fighter to keep things rolling along.

Jamaine Ortiz’s Betting Outlook vs Lomachenko

Ortiz pulled out a surprise victory last time out and retired someone who had previously been an accomplished world champion.

Jamaine Ortiz and Lomachenko were also former sparring partners so there’s a lot of localized intel each man brings into the ring this weekend. Ortiz is a young, hungry contender who is surging after leveling up from his last win but Lomachenko is by far his biggest test yet as a pugilist.

Both have a comparable level of professional experience but the pro record of Lomachenko belies the massive depth of amateur boxing know-how he has.

Also while Ortiz does bring in a three-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, his fifty percent finishing rate doesn’t exactly jump off the page. Especially in a bout where he is disadvantaged in the Fight IQ department.

Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz Prediction

The binary of this prizefight going the distance versus not going the distance (+105 and -140, respectively) is intriguing. I ultimately don’t think this bout will be determined by the verdict of the ringside judges.

I think there’s good value in pursuing a prop bet on Lomachenk winning via KO or TKO, which is positioned at -135.

Pick: Vasiliy Lomachenko (-3000)
