The American boxer went on the attack from the first seconds of the fight, while his Ukrainian counterpart traditionally started with scouting.
As a result, Lomachenko received a bruise near his eye, but starting from the third round, he got more and more in the opponent's face, when he almost sent Ortiz to a knockdown.
Under the actions of the Ukrainian's blows and speed, the American fighter was gradually exhausted, which began to show in the sixth three minutes.
However, Ortiz still managed to get Lomachenko due to his longer arms, which was especially helped by his left jab.
Towards the end of the fight, the Ukrainian boxer showed his advantage, which allowed him to win, albeit difficult, but nevertheless a unanimous decision of the judges: 115−113, 116−112, 117:111.
