Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Jamaine Ortiz odds

Vasiliy Lomachenko: -2000
Jamaine Ortiz: +900

(All odds via BetMGM)

BetMGM (as of Thursday, Oct. 27) has Lomachenko installed as a massive favourite — coming in at -2000, meaning you'd need to bet a whopping $2000 just to win $100. Meanwhile, the unbeaten American is the underdog at +900, meaning if you pluck down $100, you will win $900 if the younger man can score the upset.

Lomachenko may have fewer professional fights but on the way up he proved himself as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers out there, and his reputation is largely intact despite losing to Teofimo Lopez in 2020.

The Ukrainian will hope to go on from a win here to fight Devin Haney, but if Ortiz is the victor then he will make a claim to the same fight.

Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Jamaine Ortiz prediction

On paper, this is straightforward for Lomachenko. He has the track record, the experience, guile and momentum to set up a third straight victory.

His comeback performances have remained impressive, while Ortiz needs to dig deeper than he ever has and put on his best performance yet to beat his opponent.

A quick win for Lomachenko is the obvious prediction to make given his pedigree, but with a stoppage coming in at an underwhelming -138, perhaps the best skew comes from an Ortiz win.

If Ortiz can hold on for all 12 rounds then perhaps he has the chance to tire out the veteran, and a win on points comes in at +2000 for the American.
