Comments Thread For: 'Next boxing superstar' Vergil Ortiz Jr. to meet Serhii Bohachuk on Aug. 10

Bohachuk can fight though. He beat the living crap out of Mendoza. This is a 50/50 fight.

He probably can fight. I am just pointing out that if this was Boots fighting him, specific trolls will show up to shït on Boots for “not challenging” himself.

why the racism? - back in your hole troll - Ortiz, Haney, Benavidez, Spence, Hurd, Nick Ball - all fighting below their natural weights

Racism?
Don't they eat tortas? Don't they drain themselves?? Am I not specifically speaking about Mejicanos? No racism, grow a pair

Would’ve much rather seen tszyu vs Ortiz. I don’t think bohachuk vs Ortiz is gonna be competitive. Bohachuk didn’t look amazing versus Mendoza

Mendoza has skills and is tough. I think Bohachuck looked good in a clear and dominant win over Mendoza.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a competitive fight, even if Ortiz stops him. Doesn't mean it wasn't competitive.
Bohachuk seems to have that Ukrainian warrior mentality we see from their fighters lately. We know Ortiz is there to unleash hell on his opponent.
All good omens for those hoping to see a fight break out.

Not a bad fight. I think Ortiz will stop him.

I was really looking forward to Ortiz vs Tszyu.

This is a good stay busy fight for young Ortiz though.

Entertaining match-up, should end in a KO.

I get what you're saying.

Being around him in the gym for a bit I thought the kid was the real deal.

With the health issues , switches in training and move up in weight.
Not sure if or how it plays out.

For the record.
I would've chosen Tim Tszyu ( cut fully healed ) over Vergil if or when they were to fight.

I would have leaned toward Vergil, but not enough to bet on it. Only thing I am sure of is that it would have been FOTY.

This will be great scrap, Bohachuck beat up Mendoza more than Tszyu, looks like a hell tough cookie too. Barring the Canelo cherries boxing has been giving us some great matchups the last 18 months.

at any weight?

Yep.

This Ortiz jr. guy never fought anybody any good so far.

Yep.

This Ortiz jr. guy never fought anybody any good so far.

Just for reference, his opponents have gone 298-67-17. 78% win rate. Mo Hooker and Mean Machine aren't bad wins. Meanwhile, his closest competitor Jaron Ennis' opponents have gone 508-267-33, for a 62% win rate.
