Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Serhii Bohachuk is reportedly being finalized for August tenth in Las Vegas. Ortiz Jr. (21-0, 21 KOs) will problem Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs) for his WBC interim junior Middleweight title in an enormous step-up combat for the Golden Boy-promoted fighter.
Bohachuk is a greater fighter than Vergil Ortiz Jr’s initially deliberate foe, former WBO junior middleweight Tim Tszyu, and he’s an actual risk to his undefeated document.
The 26-year-old Ortiz has solely fought 3 times since shifting as much as 154 final yr, and he’s by no means fought anybody remotely as proficient as Bohachuk throughout his eight-year professional profession.
Bohachuk captured the WBC interim junior middleweight title with a twelve-round unanimous choice win over champion Brian Mendoza on March thirtieth on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.
Mendoza had given Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora large issues in his two earlier fights.
For Vergil Ortiz to win this combat, he might want to work out the right way to decelerate Bohachuk’s high-volume offense. He’s not able to matching the Ukrainian fighter’s excessive output or technical sport.
Ortiz isn’t constructed to throw loads of punches the watch Bohachuk does, and his technical sport hasn’t been developed. Vergil has been getting by along with his energy, which has been greater than sufficient to beat the extent of opposition his promoters at Golden Boy have been feeding him.
Vergil’s final six opponents:
– Thomas Dulorme
– Fredrick Lawson
– Michael McKinson
– Egidijus Kavaliauskas
– Maurice Hooker
– Samuel Vargas
The opposition that Ortiz has been going through aren’t on the extent of Bohachuk, and that’s what makes this combat troublesome to foretell as a result of there’s no step up stage opponent on Vergil’s resume that he would wish to gauge him.
It’s not ideally suited for Ortiz to go from beating Dulorme and Lawson at 154 to taking up a proficient champion like Bohachuk, arguably higher than the present WBC champ, Sebastian Fundora.
Bohachuk’s finest profession wins have a come towards Mendoza, Patrick Allotey, Nathaniel Gallimore and Tyrone Brunson.
The distinction between Bohachuk and Vergil is that Serhii had a superb newbie background in Ukraine earlier than turning professional in 2017, and that offers him an enormous benefit in expertise towards high quality fighters.
