Vergil Ortiz Vs Serhii Bohachuk - DAZN - Fight By Fight Thread

[jqSide]

Like I told you, it's a 50/50 fight. You won't believe me.

No reason why this not a 50/50 fight.

[MulaKO]

For Ortiz to get a draw while getting knocked down twice, he would have had to win 7 rounds. To win the fight, he had to win at least 8. Can you tell me which 8 rounds Ortiz won?

He definitely won the last three rounds without doubt

[TintaBoricua]

I can understand a draw but some around we're really close. Bohachuk did himself no favors dropping the last three rounds.

Same. I just looked at my scorecards and Vergil pulled the rabbit out of a hat. I had him sweeping the last three rounds and got him a draw on my scorecards.

I rarely do that, but I thought both were flash KDs and both rounds were clearly won by Ortiz

it doesn't matter if it's a flash KD, or a highlight reel. if you get dropped, that's a massive scoring advantage. in boxing you need to stay on your feet, it's literally the most important thing for a fighter, hence why defense is so important. if you get dropped, you really need to absolutely wash your opponent to claw back the round and that never happened in either of the rounds.

you guys are significantly understating the importance of getting a knock down. there's a reason why no judge ever gives the guy who gets dropped the round and you can go back 15 years and count on 1 hand how many times it's happened

OK.. Let's go with that.... Bohachuk had a 9-8 and a 10-8 round ... How many rounds do Ortiz need to score 114-112 ? The math just don't work anyway you put it ....

Hell of a fight though ... Ortiz the better boxer got beaten by resilience ..

Neither rd was 10-8 champ. Both 9-8 boha was literally hurt and beat around the ring both those rds.

[Rockybigblower]

Yes but boha only scored the KD but lost majority of the rd hence no 10-8 that's 9-8

You seem not to understand the word "MUST".

[Regge]

A lot of butt hurt communist in here tonight lol

Would have gave it to Bohachuk IMHO and I was rooting for Vergil I am of the mentality you have to "take the belt" from the champ .

See I never understood that mentality. You move the goal posts and give the championship “extra credit” or “protection” for nothing.

Scoring a fight needs to be as unbiased as possible. Creating a standard like, “you need to take the belt” from the champ is a biased way of thinking.

So in a close round you say, “oh it was close, I give it to the champ because he’s the champ.” No. You need to find something that they did in the ring to decide who won the round.

Ortiz slipped on the second one, then dominated the round. Stop crying, he won.

Crawford is probably going to make him slip a whole lot more.
