    I kind of agree. That Bohachuk right hand was landing all night and Tim's right is straighter and harder. I must say I enjoyed the fight so much I did not even try scoring it. At the end of the fight I did not know who won, but felt that a draw would be a fair decision. Two warriors going hammer and tongs for 12 rounds. Incredible. I think you have to feel bad for Bohachuk who lost in spite of two knock downs.

      I'm spoiled with the 140 pound division that has the most of any division I have seen in years. It's all about preference.

        I thought Ortiz won fairly clear but he's definitely not the guy he was made to be. Ortiz will beat Fundora and Spence though.

          Excellent fight. Respect to both warriors especially Bohachuk. Kind of sucks to see him lose his belt in a very tight affair even with the 2 knockdowns.

            140 is ok, but 154 is a bit more stacked. Everyone tip toeing around Lopez at 40. 47 is heating up with some fresh blood. It’s refreshing and exciting.

              Turki Alalshikh wants Vergil Ortiz Jr. win, Ortiz-Terence Crawford next. Ukraine is important, but money talks. We all know who won the fight. But boxing politics is linked to money.

                  What a great fight! Vergil Ortiz really showed both his will and metal in this one.

                  To climb off the canvas twice and defeat his opponent was just awesome and remarkable. It was a great and spirited effort by both fighters.

                  I couldn’t have been more proud of them both. Good work fellas!

                      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.
