I had it 9-3 for Bohachuk. It wasn’t near.
‘Little GGG’ Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 kos) is even more specialized than Bohachuk and has only a good power. However, it does not throw so many punches and is not so relentless. If Madrimov can adapt his style to how Bohachuk fights, Vergil Ortiz Jr. He will lose on February 22 and the judges will not save him this time. Will hit out.
