Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Jr. beats back Serhii Bohachuk for majority decision win

[JonDP]

You're a dumb mother****er. What does race have anything to with it you clown? And your boy didn't blitz ****. Looked relieved that it was over and would get knocked the **** out if he fights Crawford.

Not so sure about Crawford these days…

I'm not mad for Bohachuk but I am sad for him. It was a draw.

With the win, Ortiz is going to have to fight through some real killers now. I don't like his odds after tonight.

Mesmerizing fight.

I like him against both Fundora (and Spence if Spence decides to come back). I’d also favor him ever so slightly against Tszyu and a favorite over Bahkram (sp?)

He also beats Jermell because of Jermell’s inactivity and comes across as no longer passionate.

Any champion EXCEPT Bud and Madrimov at 154 I would make Ortiz the favorite.

Two knock downs, presumably 10-8 rounds, and he still lost on two cards by those scores?

Two flash knockdowns in rounds he was losing especially the second one could be scored 10-9 Bohachuck instead of 10-8.

I had Ortiz winning by 2 points.

Bohachuk was not busy enough in way too many rounds for me. Even the rounds Bohachuk scored the knockdowns in he lost the round other than the knockdown. So i had him winning those rounds 10-9.

Ortiz won a close fight imo.

This is such bull**** lol. You need to absolutely DESTROY the guy that knocked you down to gain a point back. Broadly speaking: if you get knocked down in a round you lose it 10-8. In 99.5% of cases this happens.

Never heard such cope before

Thats not how rounds are scored when there is a KD, it would be 9-8 Bohachuck if Ortiz came back to win it, not 10-9.

Erm… you know the scoring system is called The 10 Point Must system, because you must award the winner of the round 10 points right?

I wish they had combubox so we could see who landed the most punches

[steeve steel]

Absolutely. I think Turki is doing some good things but I also think we're gonna see some rotten decisions linked with fights he wants to make. But that's not new in boxing.

He basically plans some fights before the fighter has dealt with their upcoming opponent.

Take Madrimov v Bud last week, Turki was already planning Bud's next fight so there was NO chance he was losing on the cards. The fact Crawford got a decision isn't the issue, it's a fight that could go either way, it's the fact we all know before hand which fighter will be getting the decision if it's close.

Same with this Ortiz fight.

the opponent is either gonna have to win by KO or win a clear 10 or 11 rounds.

Its a shame we have to watch a sport knowing beforehand which competitor is guaranteed a win if its competitive

Its not some conspiracy. The truth is the overwhelming majority of either bad decisions or close decisions go in favour of the home fighter, or the future star, or the cash cow. That proves it. It wouldn't be that disproportionate if it was just incompetence, so it has to be corruption.

Voilą, as we say in French. The only chance of limiting corruption is if both fighters are stars and have good backing. And even then... I still remember C.J. Ross' scorecard of Mayweather vs Canelo lol Because Wayweather was the man. But then when Canelo became the man, well... look at the scorecards vs GGG in the first fight.

You're correct, the only way a round can be scored 9-8 or 9-9 is if the boxer who scored a knockdown gets a point deduction for a foul, like what happened to Golota vs Bowe 2 in the second round.
