                              The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Teofimo Lopez Jr. unanimously outpointed Jamaine Ortiz to retain his WBO junior welterweight title when in fact he won by a split decision with one judge scoring it 117-113 and two others scoring it 120-98, which is not considered a unanimous decision. Secondly, the author quotes Teofimo Lopez Jr. saying that Jamaine Ortiz was prepared to knock him out but then spent much of the fight backpedaling when in fact there are no instances in the article where Jamaine Ortiz says he was preparing to knock Teofimo Lopez Jr. out or even mentions it at all.

Additionally, the author mentions that Ortiz is from Worcester and has been struggling financially, which could be seen as an attempt to portray him as a less skilled fighter due to his financial situation. The article also contains examples of monetary bias by mentioning Teofimo Lopez's endorsement deals with Michelob Ultra Arena and the fact that he is making more money than Jamaine Ortiz.
