He better unify 147 then before moving up. At least unifying 147 will give him legitimacy.
Ortiz will get beat by Crawford if they fight.

yeah but ain't nobody at 147. there isn't any glory there. he just son's everyone. 154 and jump right into these other 6 guys and start doing something real in his career. too much time wasted already

If I’m thinking about this right, if Bohachuk won two 10-8 rounds, and Ortiz won no 10-8 rounds, then Ortiz would have had to win 8 of the remaining 10 rounds to win the fight.

It was a close fight, for sure. And a dramatic one, though not the most skilled contest I’ve ever seen. But there is simply no way that Ortiz won 8 rounds.

I haven't seen the cards but I wonder if any of the judges scored either of the knockdown rounds 10/9 instead of 10/8 . If a guy is dominating a round and there's a flash knockdown ,a judge can score it 10/9. Let's be honest , those were not serious knockdowns , especially the first one. Incredibly lucky timing for Bohachuk is more like it.
Time will tell ,but I see Crawford as ripe for the picking , especially at 154 , and I think that Madrimov is no great shakes. Rather than Terence having fought a super tough opponent , I feel like Madrimov isn't all that and Crawford isn't what he was cracked up to be after the Spence fight. We shall see. Either I see something, or I'm 100% wrong. I'm happy with either one.

I'm looking forward to it coming out that Turki has his own Jeffery Epstein Island.

A fight between Crawford, and Ortiz would be competitive for a couple of rounds.
Then Crawford would bust up Ortiz even worse than Bohachuk just did, ultimately stopping him in the process.

I agree. Thank you!

Turki Alalshikh comes across as a wealthy casual that wants to put fights together because he can, not because he can profit. I have no desire to see Ortiz VS Crawford. The intrigue and the money is in Crawford VS Canelo. If Crawford still wants that fight, that's the fight Turki Alalshikh should make.

Crawford beats Ortiz, btw.

When you consider that Canelo wants $150 million for Crawford because he's "easy work" and $200 million for Benavidez because "I can beat that guy" then he cherry picks Berlanga for 10-20 million, one can only conclude that Canelo is saying whatever for his base while knowing it's not true.

Frankly, I'm perfectly fine with Turki moving on and letting Eddie Hearn, PBC and the sanctioning bodies feed the rip off king in expensive sided-show acts they allowed him to create.

Maybe should have been a draw or dec. for Bohachuk because you have to take the title from the champ. But Vergil fought hard all the way so tough call. Crawford still the top dog until beaten.

Bro, some of yall are just questionable fans of the sport. We’ve got a guy trying to give us the fights we want after a decade of everyone looking for cash out fights only and the man gets so much hostility. We don’t care what he does in his personal time, he’s giving us the fights, more importantly the fights we’ve wanted to see, he’s at least trying. Before it was complain and complain about two guys not fighting each other due to promoter bullshhhh, now that he’s gotten us over that hurdle, now yall start trashing him?

I guess anything is possible, but all we can prove is that Turki is making the best fights and you continue to defend Canelo's excuse for not fighting Mexicans.

Based upon what little evidence we have, there is a stronger case that you're typing with one hand & giving Canelo a hand job in the horse stable.

Amiright?

That's what I meant to say, but it just came out differently.
