These guys have no use for judges.
Serhii Bohachuk and Vergil Ortiz Jr. fought in 46 professional bouts altogether, although just one resulted in a decision.
It’s safe to assume that these guys have biases toward judges.
“It looks like this fight could end in the first or second round,” said Oscar De La Hoya, an expert in these kinds of fights.
On Saturday, August 10, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Ukraine’s Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs) will defend the interim WBC super welterweight title against Texas powerhouse Ortiz (21-0, 21 KOs). The fight will be streamed on DAZN.
There won’t be a 12-round bout. Maintain a close focus on the action.
In the modern era of boxing, competitors typically avoid risky opponents in an effort to preserve their records.
These kinds of fights are rare. They are not common.
When Carlos Zarate (45-0, 45 KOs) faced Alfonso Zamora (29-0, 29 KOs) at the Inglewood Forum on April 23, 1977, it was the first fight of its kind that I had ever witnessed. Even though I was a hungry UCLA student, I bought a ticket for the fight with my rent money. It was one of the most exciting sporting events I’ve ever witnessed, and it was chaotic. And I was present for the 1988 World Series game one home run by Kirk Gibson.
I’m still asked about that battle by people.
The next year, Zarate of Mexico engaged in a rematch with Puerto Rico’s legendary boxer Wilfredo Gomez. In 74 matches, they had 73 knockouts combined. In the fifth, Gomez ended up halting Zarate. That was one knockdown after the bell.
Mexicans were furious and had to wait until Salvador Sanchez and Gomez met in Las Vegas in 1981 to exact their retribution. At thirty-two, the legendary Mexican fighter came to a stop to Gomez’s winning run. Despite having only 30 knockouts in 40 fights, Sanchez achieved his 31st knockout in Caesars Palace on that particular night.
Others have existed, but not many on an elite scale.
Bohachuk has only ever heard the final bell once, and that was during his final bout, in which he won the title by unanimous decision over Brian Mendoza. However, in spite of facing Tim Tszyu, Sebastian Fundora, and Jeison Rosario, that fighter had never been defeated.
The last bell has never been heard by Ortiz. To his ears, it sounds strange.
Like a laser-guided cruise missile, the Texas slugger zeroes in for the kill. He attacks his opponent’s weakness until they are unable to counterattack.
Both are accomplished assassins who previously trained under Manny Robles at the same gym. They also fought multiple times.
Bohachuk asserts, “Sparring is sparring.” “Clashes are distinct.”
Ortiz doesn’t forecast anything.
We have previously argued. There won’t be a feeling-out round, in my opinion,” Ortiz stated.
Few, if any, forecast anything other than a victory.
Expect no complaints about Bohachuk and Ortiz from the judges, notwithstanding their biases toward judgments. They also adore knockouts.
Additional Bouts
Golden Boy has signed Charles Conwell, and they may have found a rare gem. He’s one of those underappreciated competitors who could make a speedy getaway for a world title battle.
In a 10-round super welterweight match, Khiary Gray (18-6, 13 KOs) will square off against Conwell (19-0, 14 KOs).
The interim WBC super welterweight title is up for grabs when Cecilia Braekhus (37-2-1, 9 KOs) battles Maricela Cornejo (19-6, 7 KOs) over ten rounds. Braekhus is a future Hall of Fame candidate. They are pals, but Cornejo agreed to the bout right away even though he hadn’t fought in three weeks since his opponent, Ema Kozin, couldn’t get a visa. Cornejo prevented a female fight from happening for the third time.
Daniela Asenjo (16-3-3) of Chile challenges Gabriela Fundora (13-0, 9 KOs) to defend the IBF flyweight title.
