Boxing specialist Tim Bradley asserts that he believes Jamaine Ortiz emerged victorious in the match against WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez last Thursday evening, and he disagrees with the decision made by the three judges, who awarded Teo the win.
Bradley contends that Ortiz (17-2-1, 8 KOs) displayed brilliance by opting to fight from the southpaw stance and continuously retreating throughout the entire bout.
He observes that Teofimo is not as effective when moving forward compared to when he is moving backward, and Jamaine capitalized on this weakness. The judges rendered a verdict in favor of Teofimo with scores of 115-113, 115-113, and 117-111.
Bradley does not disclose his own scores, but it would not be surprising if he had Jamaine winning by a margin of four rounds or more.
Ortiz’s Strategy Shined
“That’s what I believed as well. I thought Jermaine won the fight,” remarked boxing specialist Tim Bradley to the media, commenting on Teofimo Lopez’s triumph over Jamaine Ortiz on Thursday night, a victory that has been met with disagreement from numerous boxing enthusiasts.
“I comprehend that you cannot secure a championship by constantly retreating. It’s a strategic move, my friend. Come on, it’s a strategy, and that’s precisely what you must do in the realm of boxing. Certain fights are won in that manner.
Teofimo’s Limitations Exposed
“You must employ a strategy based on your own strengths in order to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses, and that is precisely what Jamaine Ortiz accomplished. He nullified his weaknesses. He prevented him from establishing a firm footing.
“He assumed the southpaw stance from the very beginning. I swear this individual must have been present during my training camp. He must have had access to my home or my thoughts because that is exactly what I had in mind.
“Fight from the southpaw stance. Do precisely what Sandor Martin did. Engage in a defensive battle. Lure Teo in because we are aware that he is not as proficient when attacking, despite their claims of working on it, and then counter him.
“That is precisely what he executed, and he executed it throughout the entire night,” Bradley concluded.
