Bohachuk's 154-year-old eyes are undisputed

Serhiy Bohachuk says he is aiming for an undisputed victory over Ismael Davis in their sixth round WBC title eliminator in Riyadh on Saturday night. Shot 154 to become the champion.

It may take some time for Bohachuk to achieve this goal, as he will need to fight these three champions:

– Sebastian Fundora: WBC and WBO
– Bahram Murtazhaliev: IBF
——Terence Crawford: WBA

It's unlikely Crawford will agree to fight Bohalchuk unless he can get huge money, as he's looking for a huge bonus against Canelo Alvarez at 168. After a close call for champion Israel, he didn't want to risk his undefeated record.

Bohalchuk (25-2, 24 KOs) will fight the winner of the Feb. 22 WBC interim junior middleweight title fight between Virgil Ortiz Jr. and Israel Madrimov. If Vergil wins that fight, it will set up a rematch between Boharczuk and him. Turki Alalashikh may need to be involved in coaxing Ortiz Jr. (22-0, 21 KOs) into fighting Serhii again.

On August 10 last summer, Vergil Jr. defeated Bohachuk in a controversial 12-round majority decision that many fans thought was a robbery. Interestingly, Ortiz Jr. showed no interest in fighting Bohalchuk again after that fight. Some believe he didn't want to risk being beaten.

“Bohalchuk is a machine. The guy keeps throwing punches. He comes forward and keeps throwing punches. Wes (Ishmael Davis) responded.

Bohachuk is now in the driver's seat. He just won the WBC knockout title and he deserved it. Fans will agree with me; some of them think he beats Virgil Ortiz. I think it's pretty close. I gave it to Ortiz. Very close. Some would say he got what he deserved as he had a chance to win another title shot.

His punches were straight and concise; they were on target. There is no fat in the middle. When he's done, it's hard to fight back between them because sometimes he'll just stand there for a while. You can counter him immediately or time him in the middle.

After defeating Davis, Bohachuk became the mandatory contender for Sebastian Fundola's WBC belt. He is expected to face Errol Spence in the first half of 2025, but it remains to be seen if that fight will happen. If so, Bohalchuk will be ready to fight the winner or grab the WBC title should it become vacant.

“This guy [Bohachuk] Won't throw anything wide. He applied pressure, good pressure,” Atlas said. “You see fire, but when you see pure fire, you see nothing. You see blue. When you see another flame, you see red, orange. But when you see When you see a really strong, pure flame, sometimes it's just blue. There's nothing fat about a blue flame.

“There's no orange. There's no red. That's the difference between a guy who just punches and a guy who punches the right way. He fights, punches the right way. He has blue fire. Fighting. [Bohachuk vs. Davis] Always nearby. He knocked out Davis with a left hook in the second round. He should be tied up like handcuffs.

“It's not a strong enough bond, he [Bohachuk] After letting go, he delivered a short left hook to the inside and he knocked Davis down. He kept throwing punches and at the end of the sixth round, Davis did the right thing in his corner. They did a compassionate thing. They stopped fighting.

Pay attention to the belt

“He dropped him because they were actually tangled up. You don't see that very often. But when you clench your fist, everything in boxing is an art. The clinch is an art. David Si didn't tie him up very well and Boharchuk wriggled out of his restraints and there was a little bit of looseness, which shouldn't be there if you're going to have a firm grip on someone.

When Bohalchuk knocked Davis down with a left hook in the second round, he wasn't guarded. The two were very close, and Bohachuk connected with a left hand that he could not see.

Well, which is your favorite game in 2024?
By the way, 2025 will be full of fireworks. Any opponent is welcome, but the goal is undisputed championship status.

You can’t hide from me forever haha. @tomloeffler1 let's go!
