I like Bohachuk, he's a real war dog, he's tough as nail, and keeps marching forward. Very entertaining, but he is slow, his leg work isn't great and gets hit way too much, and because of this, I don't think his career will go on for much longer. I see other fights in the near future with unpleasant endings like the one against Brandon Adams. Hope I'm wrong, but..
Bohachuk has been screwed harder than anybody in boxing.
He was set to fight Sebastian Fundora for the vacant WBC 154 title, but then...
1. Fundora withdrew from the fight to challenge Tim Tszyu for the WBO and vacant WBC titles
2. Bohachuk was instead forced to fight Brian Mendoza, who knocked Fundora out, for a vacant interim WBC 154 title
3. Bohachuk fought Vergil Ortiz and got ROBBED BLIND
4. He's supposed to fight Madrimov, but Madrimov pulls out of the fight to face Vergil Ortiz
So if Madrimov will beat Ortiz, per his Logic Madrimov would beat Bahachuk.
Let's be real Sergi didn't do much other than land those flush KDs. Vergil was never hurt.
I pretty much agree with everything he said and he still sounds like a sour-puss. I guess the best think to do is to give an opponent who defeated you some props.
So if Madrimov will beat Ortiz, per his Logic Madrimov would beat Bahachuk.

I gave Bohachuk 7 rounds and he scored two knockdowns. Should've been a 115-111 win for him.
An edge to Madrimov, if he lets his hands go enough. He's more polished than Ortiz Jr, who, to his credit, usually has a high punch output and goes for it.
Serhii won that Ortiz fight by a few rounds east in my book… landed the cleaner shots all night, Vergil just looked more flashy. Hope he gets the winner or Fundora next.
