Lomachenko vs. Ortiz

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Man Loma isn't taking an easy fight for his return. Hope the ring rust isn't gonna affect him badly. 

usyk does this because they are both trained by Anatoly Lomachenko Vasyls Father, it is very common in eastern europe and germany tho so i guess it could be based off style

Man im Hyped about this fight card 3 guys i really like to watch. Robeisy Ramirez in my opinion is a future champ he took on 22-0 Abraham Nova when he only had 10 pro fights which happens rarley ill take him via decision. But ill watch some tape of his opponent 
Man Loma vs Ortiz is such a hard fight to watch for me Loma is one of my favorites but ortiz is a prospect which i first saw against Jamel herring. I like both but i think Loma is going to win via UD 

im excited for this fight card too and curious to see how loma looks. I guess we all know top rank is gna push the Haney vs Loma fight. If that fight actually happens which is a long shot to me, i would side Haney as the favorite. If Loma gets Ortiz outta there and he does it easy then maybe i will be convinced he can handle the other top cats at 135. but rite now idk if i am that high on loma vs tank, haney maybe even pitbull cruz. Commey, Pedraza, Teofimo jus dont do it for me. The loss vs teofimo i can live with and cant hold against loma cause it was in the bubble during covid. but yall saw what haney did to kambosas, he outclassed him bad. so for me if loma is in the teofima, kambosas class then ill take haney and tank all day. I like jamaine ortiz too he looked impressive vs herring, he was the fav and went in and handled his biz like the favorite should, if were gna give credit to shakur for beating up an aged Herring then gotta give Ortiz his too. so leaning loma by decision but still not sure yet. 

the co main should be a great fight too. i agree with what one of yall said ramirez is a future champ, hes a cuban gold medalist who has tons of experience despite the 10-1 record but he has POWER in those hands which yall saw last fight, he slept Nova who is a damm good fighter. but he is fighting a sampson lewkowicz fighter, his guys come to fight and pick up rite where they left off from Argentina. Romero has gone the distance with pitbull cruz and michel rivera, 2 very good young fighters. i gotta rewatch the michel rivera vs romero from last yr but I am leaning Robeisy ramirez he is just too good.

just some info and thoughts let me know what yall think

Ramirez vs. Romero
Robeisy Ramirez, TKO, R8
Robeisy might just be the very best Cuban at the moment. His last few fights he's really put it all together, successfully transitioning from the Amateur style (he's a 2x Olympic Gold medalist!) to being an offensive, hurtful punching Pro. I'm fairly confident in saying that he fights for and wins a World Title next year. Romero is a tough, wily kinda fighter. Tough to look good against hard to hurt. KO would be a big statement

Walsh vs. Wagner
Nico Ali Walsh, TKO, R6
How many times are the ESPN broadcast going to mention Alis Grandson??? If the over is 100 I'm taking it!!!

Brady Jr vs. Mondragon
Eric Mondragon, DEC
Mondragon has the best chance of all the B sides on this card IMO. He's a solid fighter and Brady has looked both explosive and predictable at times. Also, the fact that Brady had to pull out of his last scheduled fight because he was over 5lbs overweight is a red flag

Torrez Jr. vs. Hefny
Richard Torrez Jr., TKO, R1
Left Hook KO in less than 2 minutes

Johnson vs. Garcia
Delante Johnson, TKO, R1
Keyshawn Davis is getting all the hype from the US 2020 Olympic team but I think Tiger is just as good. He has been knocking fools out and I expect h

Torrez Jr. vs. Hefny
Richard Torrez Jr., TKO, R1
The Prince of Egypt is going to get sent to meet the Pharaohs.

Lomachenko vs. Ortiz
Vasyl Lomachenko, DEC
Lomachenko should get back on track with a win in this fight.

I'm like a little kid, waiting for this fight tonight!  Hoping to see a fierce Loma!  Enjoy the night everyone.

Lomachenko vs. Ortiz
I like Vasyl Lomachenko at -1500. He has a bonkers oshi-dashi and a genuine axe kick and also a groundbreaking omoplata. Lomachenko will likely threaten the natural order. Clearly!

Ramirez vs. Romero
I predict Robeisy Ramirez at -2000. He has a jaunty fight IQ. Ramirez shall claw the cutman. Believe in yourself!

Torrez Jr. vs. Hefny
I have a crush on Richard Torrez Jr. at -10000. He has a noble left hand. Torrez Jr. ought to claw the chosen one.

Ragan vs. Lebron
I prefer Duke Ragan at -650. He has an amazing overhead chop and a jaunty harai goshi. Ragan ought to handle the enemy.

Walsh vs. Wagner
I take Nico Ali Walsh at -3333. He has an oppulent touch of death and a heavenly tsuri-dashi. Walsh ought to assault the corner man.

Isley vs. LaVallais
I am taking Troy Isley at -1500. He has a strong lapel choke. Isley won't prevent the masterpiece.

Worst ref ever 

Loma needs to shift into 2nd gear. He's lucky if he's not down 4 rounds on the judges scorecard. 

Ortiz fighting a heck of a fight rn

Got it 3 - 3 going into this 7th. Ortiz eye is swelling bad 

6 - 4 Loma going into the 11th. This is a really tight fight.
