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

[MulaKO]

THIS

I was thinking 10/9 in real time when the knockdowns happened. In this scenario, Ortiz can easily have won on the cards based on what my eyes told me.

Another thing - sometime around Round 9 or 10, Vergil started moving and boxing actively with a constant snappy jab that set Bochunk [I like that nick, I think I'll use it] up for some power shots that had him a bit wobbled more than once. It was a brilliant tactical shift from Ortiz that really paid off for him.

1. I didn't know Vergil had it in him to move and stick a power jab like that. I was impressed.
2. Since he obviously could do it, why did it take Roberto Garcia nearly the entire fight to have Vergil make the change? Clearly, the toe-to-toe battle wasn't wearing down Bochunk to the point of a convincing win (in my opinion). I'm left thinking that Garcia was a little slow on the uptake there, but it's easy for me to do some Sunday morning QB-ing obviously.

And why did Virgil stop going to the body when it was very successful for him
That’s what was making that hard overhand right land

I keep thinking Garcia needed to do better between rounds with his instructions.

I agree and at one point Virgil asks why
Meaning in his head he thought he was winning the fight
A corner needs to direct
Garcia became that in the 10th when he clearly told him he needed to decisively win the next three rounds

It was a great fight. It could have gone either way and I wouldn't cry about it, even though I thought Vergil edged it. Bochunk doesn't seem to have the best footwork, so the two times where I thought he was wobbled could have been a balance/coordination thing, but in the context of the exchanges, I say he was wobbled. Does wobbled = hurt? Not necessarily, but maybe.

Please count me in as one of the ass wipe commentators, because yeah, I'm an ass wipe when I need to be. Everyone should be, and if you're not, other people will let you know real quick.

As soon as Turki mentioned what fight he wanted next you knew this decision could only go one way. Boxing just can’t stop stepping on its own ****.

This is corrupt boxing at it's worst. I never scored the fight but I knew the scoring would only go one way if wasn't scored a draw which would have been fair IMO.

Turki is not looking to make a profit. He has plenty of money.

He's spending the Saudi Governments money anyway. Supposedly all of this is some sort promotion for tourism in Saudi Arabia.
I don't know about anyone else but I can't think of a single reason why I would want to vacation in Saudi Arabia. What is there to do there ? You sure aren't going to find much nightlife and you can forget hooking up with any local women ,even though that part of the world has a lot of really beautiful women imprisoned.... Ooops , I meant "living there". There aren't any interesting archeological sites as far as I know either. They do have some nice beaches and good dive sites , but so do a lot of places , places where you have a lot more freedom.
