Bohachuk Vs Ortiz Jr WBC INTERIM SUPER WELTERWEIGHT TITLE AUG 10 2024

[Kemarit]

I saw the number of this fight and it looks like Ortiz really pour it on the last half of the fight specially in the championship rounds as he might have seen that he is behind the score card and so I do agree that this is a fight of the year candidate. And great coach and trainer as well, Robert Garcia did push Ortiz in his fight and give him the right instructions and motivation to carry on the last 3 rounds to win.

And specially in this kind of close fights, the loser will cry that they have been robbed. With that, the camp of Bohachuk is demanding for a rematch from Ortiz. Not sure if Ortiz will give that as there could be no rematch clause and for sure Ortiz is looking for the next big fight as there are a lot of great fighters in this division.

As what trainer Robert Garcia said in an interview that if Vergil Ortiz won't be facing Terrence Crawford then a rematch with Bohachuk should be made as soon as possible because that recent fight was inconclusive to some fans, i mean if could go either way and the rematch could settle the issue once and for all.

And it shows that Ortiz really up his punches output thru rounds 8 and up. Most likely this is also what the judges show and thus they give it to Ortiz. But yeah, it was really a close fight as what fans expected and so I would definitely agree for a immediate rematch.

^^ Yes, if we look the numbers, definitely Ortiz did up the volume of his punches and try to steal the rounds from Bohachuk.
So for me, it could be very well a draw as the judges doesn't have the benefits of that numbers and if we look at it, was really close and hard to see who is going to win.
Even one of the judges have it draw, so we might be right in what we see in this fight.
And it was like a close quarter fight that we expected from this powerful punchers. They did give the fans the fight that we wanted for and we can see them standing at the end of the 12 rounds to appreciate this two warriors. But unfortunately, there could only be one winner.
I would like to see a rematch as well as I think Bohachuk will make the right adjustments in the second fight.

Heading to the championship rounds, I thought the fight was up for grabs, and I was right. One judge had it a draw, and two judges scored in favor of Ortiz, who took the championship rounds. I'm sure they are going to run it again. The fans enjoyed the game, and both fighters believed they had won the fight.

All I know is that in every championship fight, the champion always has the luxury of a rematch, even if the fight is one-sided; the fight is too close to call, they have to run it again. We never know if we could even have a trilogy with these two fighters.

Or in a championship fight, judges favor the champion in close rounds. But yes, as we see the fight, Bohachuk started hot and really putting great works against Ortiz and that knockdown as well. But it shows that Ortiz has the heart, I would compare him to Victor Ortiz who is a power puncher as well and similar style, the only problem with Victor Ortiz is that he doesn't have the mentality, he succumb to pressure and so he lost.

Unlike Vergil Ortiz, when the going gets tough, he elevated his game and so he preserved his record and now the interim champion. Hopefully, they could run it again and and produce another classic fight for us fans.
