It was very obvious during the fight that there was something wrong with Lomachenko so I do not hold against him the loss he suffered against Lopez due to the shoulder injury.
Now I will still give Lopez some credit for pulling the win against Lomachenko but he did not defeated him at his best and this reduces the credit he gets, so will put Lomachenko as the clear favorite to win this fight and once Haney beats Kambosos again maybe we could see Haney and Lomachenko fighting each other to finally demonstrate who is the best out of the two.
Of course Lomachenko will be favorited in this match, even he's taking a break and no fight anymore, many fans, boxers and boxing reviews still include him as the top boxers on lightweight division. I see there's no way Lomachenko will lose against Ortiz, I think everyone would agree with my opinion.
Right, even his arrival in the US is well covered by Top Rank and to hype the fans I guess. I also not seeing a great fighter such as Loma being upset by a unknown boxer in Ortiz, but we will see.
If Lomachenko vs Haney will happen, it's hard to say Lomachenko will pull an upset since he's has a short arms while Haney have long arms. He need to catch Haney every time and it would drain up his stamina.
Clash of styles, both are very tactical and even if Haney played as a defensive boxer, he is technical as well when he do his counter using that long arms of his and obviously it bother Kambosos in their first fight. And so they need first to win respectively to set up a huge fight.
