00:00Okay, boxers, you received your instructions earlier.
00:06As a reminder, obey my commands at all times,
00:09protect yourself at all times, touch gloves.
00:10Good luck.
00:17Well, if you like violence,
00:19you've picked the right show to tune in for.
00:21Two men who only know knockouts,
00:25one way or another,
00:27who have asked one another to meet me
00:29in the center of the ring.
00:31Two men ready to slug it out.
00:35Round one of our main event.
00:37Zerhei Bolychuk, the defending interim champion
00:40in the black trunks,
00:42with the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
00:44And Virgil Ortiz, you see him in the blue and gold,
00:47firing that right hand over the top immediately.
00:50Yeah, Provo Tech,
00:51both shots started with that,
00:53a slow jazz,
00:55and Virgil quickly counted over the top.
01:03Great head movement right now by Virgil.
01:07Zerhei Bolychuk already back to what we expect from him.
01:11All offense, all the time.
01:12His offense is his defense.
01:15Just keep his hands moving.
01:17Ortiz is a little bit more judicious in his punch output,
01:20but nearly everything he throws, Gabe, is heat.
01:24Yes. You know, there's no shots wasted with Virgil.
01:27And even though Bolychuk has more volume,
01:30Virgil's slipping and rolling the shots,
01:33and he's countering good.
01:41Very relaxed stance from Ortiz on the outside.
01:45And we mentioned the familiarity of these two.
01:47Bolychuk, a former Ortiz sparring partner.
01:50Ortiz tries to lock him into a left hook.
01:58Whoa. Nice shot over the top,
02:00but that will be ruled a slip.
02:02You see the smile from both fighters.
02:04The right hand seemed to connect,
02:07but clearly the footwork issue,
02:10the bigger issue at play there,
02:11as ruled by referee Harvey Dunn.
02:13You know, whoa, that was a great right hand by Bolychuk.
02:16See, right now, what I see Bolychuk's doing
02:18is he's applying pressure,
02:20because he wants Virgil to throw shots.
02:23He wants Virgil to throw these shots
02:25and catch him in between.
02:30Ortiz now wading his way to the inside,
02:31gets caught by a couple uppercuts by Bolychuk.
02:34He's just slinging those left hooks as well.
02:41Man, these guys ain't wasting no time.
02:42This is looking exactly as promised.
02:47Whoa.
02:48Oh, that shot buckled, or he's hurt.
02:50Bolychuk's hurt by the overhand break.
02:53And now Ortiz going back downstairs to the body.
02:56Bolychuk just trying to smother Ortiz
02:59and maybe work through the effects of that shot.
03:02Bolychuk's legs are wobbled.
03:04He doesn't have his legs under him right now.
03:10Ortiz said, go ahead and meet me in the center of the ring.
03:13You said you could take my punches.
03:16Ortiz daring him to do so right now.
03:19That clubbing overhand break by Virgil
03:21is knocking off the equilibrium of Bolychuk.
03:24He's rocking him with that shot.
03:27See the power of Ortiz moving the feet of Bolychuk.
03:33Nice uppercut from Bolychuk right at the bell.

04:07Generative AI on AWS.
04:10A new era of racing.
04:12A new era of business.
04:15You see it every time as the combination.
04:18Okay, watch the overhand.
04:23Seconds out.
04:24Let's take a look back at this shot
04:26that was not ruled a knockdown.
04:28You know, it landed.
04:29Oh boy.
04:30It landed.
04:31And we just heard referee Harvey Dock
04:34lean over to the commission and ask,
04:36do we have to go to a replay on that?
04:38They said no.
04:39Yeah, but you know, right there in that replay,
04:41he did get hit with the shot.
04:42Yeah, that may have been.
04:45That may have been.
04:45That looked like a knockdown.
04:46Yeah, it's one of those battle shots.
04:48But then, you know, Virgil got up
04:50and he hurt Boca Chica with a big overhand right.
04:53So the firefight has begun here in Las Vegas.
04:58Nice uppercut there from Ortiz.
05:00Well, one thing with Virgil is his last two fights
05:04haven't gone past the first round.
05:06So, you know, right here, Boca Chica is testing him.
05:09So we're going to see how Virgil does
05:10as far as his conditioning in this new weight division.
05:16See the punch output in the high 70s.
05:21Nice body shot there from Ortiz
05:23as Boca tries to fire back.
05:26A chomping right hand from Ortiz coming through again.
05:33Virgil keeping that defense tight,
05:35looking for an opening.
05:37There you go.
05:38Beat it. Beat it, Virgil.
05:40There is just a nervous tension about this fight game.
05:43Both men just throwing bombs nonstop.
05:47Oh, this is do or die for both these guys.
05:49This fight is big.
05:51Wow. Great right hook to the body by Virgil.
05:57Boca trying to come back with a right hand
05:58to the body of his own.
06:00There you go. Where's he at? Where's he at?
06:02Ortiz starting to back up Boca Chica.
06:04He breaks through with a nice uppercut.
06:08Looks like Virgil got a cut over the nose.
06:14Keep that jab going.
06:18Ortiz corner.
06:20Robert Garcia asking for more jabs.
06:22Telling him to keep the jab going.
06:27Switches to an uppercut now.
06:30See what you see Boca Chica right now doing.
06:32He's applying pressure and his hands go,
06:34but he's not committing to the shots
06:36because what he wants to do is just lure in Virgil
06:39into this firefight.
06:41Yeah, this is some of the nuance
06:42that we've seen from Boa Chuck.
06:43He presents as just a pure pressure fighter,
06:46but he can counter off the front foot.
06:49He's looking to set up those traps through volume.
06:52Absolutely.
06:54Keep your hand down.
06:56You know, it's kind of like he's tapping,
06:58tapping away, tapping away.
06:59You think you're safe, and the next thing you know,
07:01he lands the big shot.
07:03Ortiz looking for a short right hand.
07:05That was kind of a blow from Boa Chuck a moment ago.
07:09Did get an audible gasp out of the audience here,
07:11but now Ortiz back to the basics.
07:13Just popping the jab, and this is a posture from Ortiz
07:16that we haven't seen a lot of.
07:17Lead hand down, looking a little slick on the outside.
07:21You know, he's versatile.
07:22He can do a little bit of everything.
07:26Boa Chuck banging away to the body with a right hand,
07:28but that's a better body shot from Ortiz.
07:31Huge right hand from Ortiz right at the bell.
07:34If you think you are beaten, you are.
07:45If you think you will lose, you will lose.
07:50If you think you will win, you will win.
07:53If you think you will lose, you will lose.
07:56If you think you will lose, you lost.
08:05Success begins with a person's will.
08:13It's a state of mind.
08:16♪♪
08:23Seconds out.
08:25Right here, Virgil rolling some shots.
08:28Wait, wait, wait. Back up, back up.
08:30That hook to the body, doubling up on it.
08:33Great body work by Virgil.
08:35♪♪
08:38Round three underway.
08:40♪♪
08:44Absolute slugfest here between Boa Chuck and Ortiz,
08:48as expected.
08:51And normally we start talking about that missed knockdown
08:54in the opening round and what that might have
08:57in terms of an effect on the scorecards,
08:59but we have no expectation that we are going to the scorecards.
09:02Yeah.
09:03And you know, I like what Virgil's doing right now.
09:06Boxing, setting traps,
09:08setting that counter up top with the right hands.
09:11See Ortiz outlanding Boa Chuck, 53 to 32,
09:14trying to CompuBox.
09:16Nice body shot again from Ortiz,
09:18which is squaring up, locking Boa Chuck down
09:21in the early portion to this round.
09:25You know, one thing Boa Chuck needs to do is,
09:27he needs to start landing to the body,
09:29try to slow Virgil down.
09:31You know, Virgil's just applying pressure,
09:33boxing when he wants.
09:35Boa Chuck needs to throw more body shots.
09:37He's headhunting too much.
09:39These two battering Rams,
09:41beating head to head here.
09:43Ortiz doing a little of what Boa Chuck likes to do,
09:47just outright smothering pressure,
09:49and he's getting the better of these exchanges at the moment.
09:52Yeah, and that's one thing Virgil told us,
09:54is he said, I'm going to dictate the pace.
09:56He's not going to back me up.
09:58I'll box when I want to box.
10:00I'll apply pressure when I want to apply pressure.
10:02And that's what he's doing.
10:06See right here, Boa Chuck,
10:09needs to throw shots to the body.
10:11Headhunting way too much.
10:13Ortiz swimming underneath those hooks from Boa Chuck.
10:15Explicitly targeting the body,
10:17and then looking for those uppercuts through the middle.
10:19And you can see that body of Boa Chuck
10:21is starting to get red.
10:23Even the arm.
10:25Virgil keeps gripping that left hook to the body.
10:27Hard right hand over the top,
10:29but back comes Boa Chuck in combination.
10:35Inside the final minute of rounds,
10:37inside the final minute of round 3.
10:42Every minute of this fight
10:44is taking a harsh physical toll
10:46on both men.
10:48See Corey, the difference of these guys training right now
10:50is that Virgil has leverage
10:52on his punches,
10:54where Tokachuk is more of arm shots.
10:57So Virgil's getting the better of the exchange.
11:03Boa Chuck trying to spin Ortiz around.
11:05Trying to get that leverage back.
11:07Ortiz not allowing it.
11:09Big uppercut from Ortiz.
11:15Right hand to the body as well.
11:17This body tag is absolutely relentless.
11:25Stiff jab there from Boa Chuck.
11:27Ortiz falls short with a homerun right hand.
11:30Good combination on the inside
11:32for Ortiz,
11:34and that'll do it for round 3.
11:44Hey,
11:46just work the little bodies you're in there
11:48and put the tension here.
11:50Little uppers you're trying to go wide with as well.
11:52Just a little short jab to the side,
11:54little short right hand.
11:56That'll set everything up.
11:58How's he looking on that side? He's OK?
12:00You're doing good.
12:02Just don't try too hard.
12:04Take your time. It's going to come by itself.
12:06You're doing a good job waiting to counter.
12:08OK?
12:10But I need you to go uppercut first
12:12and then body.
12:14Don't go to the body first.
12:16I need bravas tito and then bravas corpos.
12:18I need bravas tito and then bravas corpos.
12:20Change.
12:22Right here,
12:24Virgil's setting up a great overhand right,
12:26finishing with that left hook to the body.
12:28And you know, Boakicek says he's throwing shots
12:30but there's no leverage on it.
12:34Well, interesting advice in the Boakicek corner
12:36a moment ago as round 4 begins.
12:38Gabe, what do you think about that advice?
12:40They're telling him throw the uppercut first
12:42then go to the body.
12:44Trying to give him a little bit of a strategy
12:46for these inside moments.
12:48Yeah, and that's great advice because
12:50the uppercut is a decoy shot.
12:52The uppercut is to set up the hook to the body.
12:56And in Virgil's corner
12:58Robert's asking him,
13:00don't try too hard, it's going to come to you.
13:02You're trying too hard, it's going to come to you.
13:04Just let your hands go.
13:11C.R.T.'s loosening up a little bit here
13:13in the early going of round 4,
13:15popping that jab out.
13:17Nice head movement by Virgil.
13:19With more on Boakicek's corner
13:21let's send it over to Beto Duran.
13:23And Manny Robbins is telling them, remember,
13:26they said they want him to chop wood
13:28to stay consistent but stay with
13:30the game plan. They're giving him instructions
13:32in Russian. Also they were telling him, Cory,
13:34body, body, uppercut.
13:36They feel like they can find a home for that
13:38uppercut for Boakicek, but Manny Robbins
13:40is telling this fighter
13:42stay focused
13:44right now.
13:46Thank you so much, Beto.
13:48Boakicek
13:50having some moments here in round 4.
13:52Busier the two fighters
13:54at this point in the round.
13:56He tries to come over the top of the right hand.
14:16C.R.T.'s almost exclusively jabbing
14:18this round.
14:20And you know one thing is when Virgil's boxing
14:22he's looking for that counter right hand
14:24off the top, whether it's
14:26straight or an overhand.
14:34He's back in the inside because
14:36Boakicek wasn't giving him that counter.
14:38So now he's working back
14:40in the inside.
14:42Body work from Boakicek obeying the orders
14:44of his corner.
14:46Boakicek
14:48short hooks on the inside
14:50as well.
14:52Tight work of Boakicek.
14:56Starting to break through here in round 4.
15:06Boakicek very composed in these
15:08high volume slugfests.
15:12Continuing to chip away.
15:15This has been a pretty good round
15:17for Boakicek comparatively.
15:21Yeah, it's a pretty even round.
15:27Good jab by Virgil.
15:29Counter jab over the top there
15:31from Ortiz.
15:33There's that overhand right counter.
15:41Take another deep breath right away.
15:43Can Edgar Berlanga do what only
15:45Floyd Mayweather and Dimitri Bivol
15:47have done and pull off the upset
15:49and dethrone Canelo
15:51Alvarez? A tall task
15:53but something he's confident he will
15:55do on Mexican Independence Day
15:57in Las Vegas, September
15:5914th live on The Zone
16:01the home of boxing.
16:03Everything out of the jab.
16:05Touch him, touch him, touch him.
16:07You know right here Virgil has
16:09him against the rope
16:11and he's setting up the chopping shots
16:13up top and then finish off to the body.
16:15Seconds out!
16:17And Boakicek had a pretty good jab right there
16:19but right there you see Virgil
16:21quickly counters over the top.
16:23I'm going to call time.
16:25I'm going to call time.
16:27I'm going to call time.
16:29I'm going to call time.
16:32I'm going to call time.
16:34Time! Time! Over here.
16:36Over here.
16:38Hang on a second.
16:40Hang on.
16:46Alright we are just getting
16:48word
16:50that that
16:52knockdown that initially
16:54was not called a knockdown has been
16:56overruled. They've looked at instant replay
16:58and now that was a knockdown
17:00in the first round. So
17:0210-8 round for Sergei Boatrick in round 1.
17:04You know that was a good call
17:06because it definitely was a knockdown.
17:10We see instant replay
17:12doing its job
17:14here in the sport of boxing.
17:16The crowd taking a little too long.
17:18Yeah the live audience clearly is not
17:20hip to what's going on here right now.
17:22They just want the action to resume.
17:26And this long break
17:28is a benefit.
17:30You know it's a high paced fight.
17:32This break is pretty long.
17:34First round
17:36we got a knockdown. That's going to be
17:38considered from the first round.
17:40That's the review.
17:42Hang on. Hang on.
17:44You got it.
17:46You're good.
17:48Well you see Boatrick
17:50wanted to get the action going here.
17:52There we go.
17:54Call overturned officially.
17:58And Boatrick
18:00scoring a knockdown
18:02on Virgil Ortiz in round 1.
18:04You know
18:06when Virgil's doing this
18:08and he's setting traps
18:10he's looking for a counter over the top.
18:12That right hand counter.
18:18Ortiz said throughout the week
18:20that he felt that he would be a little on edge
18:22in this fight. He categorized it
18:24as a good thing. He said I'm on edge
18:27and I feel challenged. But clearly his corner
18:29is trying to suppress that a little bit.
18:31They're trying to get him to relax.
18:33Yeah. You know this is a big fight.
18:35Boatrick
18:37is game. He's coming. He's walking
18:39him down. Applying pressure.
18:41He's taking some
18:43big shots as well.
18:53Ortiz again just pulling
18:55Boatrick back to the ropes. Head down.
18:57Hands down. Targeting the body.
18:59And Boatrick
19:01is keeping the defense a lot more
19:03tighter now.
19:13We expected this to
19:15potentially be the toughest test of Ortiz's
19:17career.
19:19Wow. That was a good uppercut by Boatrick.
19:21Excellent uppercut from Boatrick.
19:23I think what we are seeing
19:25is that in Ortiz's
19:27career previous to this
19:29he creates
19:31anxiety in his opponents immediately.
19:33The movement. The threat of that power. You can see
19:35it in his opponents. You're not seeing
19:37that in the body language of Boatrick.
19:39Even in rounds that he's not winning.
19:41You're not seeing him flustered by what's
19:43going on. Absolutely.
19:45And that is that he knows
19:47Virgil. You know
19:49he understands
19:51what Virgil brings to the table and he's prepared for it.
19:57Right hand to the body as Ortiz's corner
19:59asking for more combinations.
20:11Right hand to the body again from Ortiz.
20:15Goes in on the final 30 seconds of his round.
20:18And we ask the question
20:20what would familiarity
20:22do to this fight? I think we're seeing
20:24Listen Gabe, every fighter
20:26has patterns and clearly
20:28these two know one another.
20:30So you're seeing, I think particularly in Ortiz
20:32him having to do different
20:34things than we've seen him do in the past.
20:36For sure. And you know and the thing is
20:38it's like Barbara said, stop trying
20:40so hard and let it come to you.
20:42Nice right hand over the top.
20:44That one sent Boatrick
20:46on his heels temporarily
20:48and it bombs away
20:50once again right to the bell.
21:02Deep breaths.
21:06Alright so this was the round one
21:08knockdown that was initially ruled a slip
21:10has now been overturned by instant
21:12replay here in Nevada.
21:14That was a shot in the equilibrium
21:16ear shot
21:18you know, it's one of those
21:20shots that kind of knocks your balance off
21:22quickly, but
21:24Virgil recovered right away.
21:27Good job.
21:34But when you're going inside, you're letting him hit.
21:36You have your hand up.
21:38Let's make another fight.
21:46Here are the instructions in Virgil Ortiz's corner.
21:48We pointed out that there were times
21:50when Ortiz is going to the inside
21:52with his hands low because he's targeting the body.
21:54They're warning him, hey keep those hands up.
21:56Because you know Boatrick
21:58is getting stronger as the fight goes on.
22:02Flubbing right hand there
22:04from Boatrick a moment ago.
22:06Round six is underway.
22:08Boatrick looking for one of those
22:10uppercuts that his corner asked for
22:12a couple of rounds ago.
22:22One thing Boatrick is doing is when he's jabbing
22:24he's bringing that hand fight back
22:26immediately, protecting himself
22:28from the overhand counter
22:30that Virgil's been landing.
22:32So Bogutok is making adjustments
22:34he's thinking in there.
22:42Now Bogutok is the one that's smothering Virgil
22:44taking away the counters.
22:46This is what Boatrick promised.
22:48He said that he would make constant adjustments
22:50throughout this fight.
22:54And his defense is nice and tight
22:56he's protecting himself from the short shots
22:58that Virgil was landing earlier.
23:00Let's send it over to Beto Duran who's in the Ortiz corner.
23:02And there's Robert Garcia
23:04what do you like so far?
23:06He's got to continue using the jab
23:08he's boxing really good with the jab
23:10but he's got to keep throwing the jab.
23:12Last round kind of
23:14waited a little and didn't throw too many jabs
23:16and it could have been a very close round.
23:18Is this exactly what you expected?
23:20No, this guy's very tough. We already knew he was tough
23:23we expected a very tough fight
23:25but Virgil's very strong
23:27he keeps going, he's not going to stop.
23:29The first round was ruled a knockdown for Bogutok
23:31what did you tell him?
23:33It's part of boxing, there's nothing we can do anymore
23:35we can't change the scorecard so we've got to keep going
23:37there's nothing we can say anymore
23:39it was scored a knockdown so we've just got to live with it.
23:41You think you're winning? I think we're winning, yes.
23:43How do you finish this?
23:45Keep throwing the jab, keep finding smart
23:47the knockout comes, it counts, but keep throwing the jab.
23:49Thanks Robert.
23:51Interesting analysis there from Robert Garcia
23:53maybe the first time Garcia has ever said
23:55that we might have to go to the scorecards
23:57and win a fight here with Virgil Ortiz.
24:03Stiff jab there from Ortiz a moment ago
24:05see the posture of Bogutok
24:07really carrying that left hand high
24:09protecting from that overhand right
24:11that Ortiz has been trying to line up for a couple of rounds now.
24:13Yeah, and Bogutok just lined up
24:15Virgil for a good right hand
24:17off the top.
24:20Bogutok has a nice
24:22stiff jab that he's starting to use
24:24every time he steps
24:26forward he steps in with that stiff jab
24:28right here when there's distance
24:30he closes the distance
24:32quickly with a jab. Nice uppercut
24:34from Ortiz though there were a couple
24:36of body shots in that sequence also
24:38Ortiz has been
24:40spending less time in there
24:42as of late
24:44as the punch output
24:46of Bogutok just does not stop
24:50Time!
25:12A night not to be missed
25:14is headlined by a special live concert
25:16from KSI as Misfits
25:18Boxing celebrates his two year anniversary
25:20with an extravaganza of
25:22crossover boxing on August 31st
25:24in Dublin
25:40There's a lot of good shots this round
25:42keep that shit going alright
25:44stay busy
25:46Who's smart right?
25:56So these two go
25:58back to work Bogutok and Ortiz
26:00in this WBC interim
26:02super welterweight title fight
26:04the defending champion Bogutok
26:06the challenger
26:08Virgil Ortiz who you heard
26:10earlier on the broadcast
26:12from Turkey Alashik
26:14saying that he wants
26:16Ortiz versus Terence Crawford
26:18next if Ortiz could get
26:20through this fight which is not a guarantee
26:22as Bogutok is
26:24absolutely bringing it in this fight
26:26Yeah a lot
26:28of these rounds are close rounds
26:30you know Virgil
26:32earlier in the fight
26:34was dominating but these middle rounds right here
26:36are pretty close
26:38and you know
26:40that's props to Bogutok who's making
26:42adjustments
26:48Right there that's a good setup shot by Virgil
26:50right uppercut and then left hook
26:52to the body
26:54nice left hook by Virgil
26:56That's the counter left hook that Ortiz has used
26:58to score so many knockouts
27:00on his way up
27:04Right there you see Bogutok doubling up the right hand
27:12Alright let's get word
27:14from the Bogutok corner let's send it back over to
27:16Beto Duran. And Manny Robles the head trainer
27:18said talk to Edgar Hassel number two but they have worked
27:20in unison. Azita what do you see
27:22from your fighter? I mean we
27:24like how he's working he's throwing
27:26those good uppercuts we want him to stay a little
27:28closer and work the uppercuts
27:30and the body a little bit more. Earlier
27:32Manny told me that you guys told Bogutok that
27:34it's the marathon you gotta chop wood
27:36you gotta get after it you gotta stick it to the game plan
27:38Yeah of course you know we gotta work that body
27:40you know that everybody knows that
27:42you chop wood and the head will fall
27:44little by little
27:46I feel like Virgil's getting
27:48a little bit tired
27:50and Bogutok's gonna take over
27:52This is the kind of fight you guys expected? Yes of course
27:54you know we knew we were in for a great fight
27:56you know these guys are both
27:58putting everything on the line. It's close
28:00but how do you feel that you guys are doing you're winning?
28:02I think it's close I think it's close
28:04I think we're up by one I think. Edgar Hassel
28:06Thank you
28:08Thank you so much guys Bogutok
28:10enjoying a little bit of a rally there
28:12during that interview but back comes Ortiz
28:14trying to stop that momentum
28:16in its tracks. Yeah Bogutok
28:18was landing some really good shots right there
28:20clean shots
28:22You heard the corner
28:24of Bogutok speculating that
28:26Ortiz might be getting tired
28:28Gabe do you see any evidence to support that?
28:30You know out of both
28:32fighters it does seem that Virgil's a little
28:34more fatigued
28:36the pace it looks like it's kind of
28:38getting to Virgil a little bit
28:40you know the intensity of his
28:42punches are not the same
28:46Will he catch his second
28:48wins?
28:50A couple more snapping jabs from Ortiz
28:52and he falls short with that right hand
28:54and that'll do it for round seven
28:56Crowd
29:02The crowd understandably
29:04loving this one as we take a look back
29:06at some of the highlights from round seven
29:08That was a great counter left hook by
29:10Virgil
29:12Bogutok's right there pecking with that jab
29:14nice right uppercut
29:16cleans it up with the overhand
29:18with the straight right hand
29:20landed flush doubling it up right there
29:23You know both guys are
29:25landing great shots in that round
29:27you know it's just what do you like?
29:40Seconds out
29:42Seconds out
29:46Let's go let's go
29:48let's go for that corner
29:53As round eight begins
29:55we enter interesting territory
29:57in this fight
29:59remember earlier in our broadcast
30:01Beto Duran was speaking with Ring Magazine
30:03editor Dougie Fisher and he speculated
30:05as others have too
30:07that if the fight can get to this territory
30:09into the later rounds
30:11that perhaps it then becomes a Bogutok fight
30:13You know that could be true
30:15the thing that I see now
30:17with Virgil is
30:19he wants to hurt Bogutok
30:21so bad that the shots
30:23are coming at the same
30:25at the same speed
30:27so now he's allowing Bogutok to
30:29read the rhythm of Virgil
30:31where he can brace for these punches
30:33Virgil needs to go back to setting shots up
30:35changing his speed
30:37where then he can catch Bogutok when he least expects it
30:41Hard right hand down the middle from Bogutok
30:43a moment ago and then a nice uppercut as well
30:45but Ortiz comes over the top
30:47with a right hand of his own
30:49left hook and Ortiz says no
30:51but I think the gloves touched the ground
30:55Wow that happened so quick
30:57I didn't even see the shot
30:59The second knockdown of the fight
31:01and Ortiz is fired up
31:03but they all count the same
31:05Bogutok with two knockdowns now
31:07in this fight
31:13You know the shot list working for Virgil
31:15is the overhand right
31:17Virgil has to figure out a way
31:19of how he can set that shot up
31:21and hurt Bogutok
31:23because right now there's two knockdowns
31:25in the favor of Bogutok
31:29That's ten eight rounds
31:31Two ten eight rounds for Bogutok
31:33and it's a close fight
31:37See that overhand right there from Virgil
31:39that's the money shot
31:41Virgil has to set that up
31:43Virgil has him hurt
31:45Trying to get it back
31:51Ortiz is going wild
31:53here in the eighth round
31:55This is why you love Virgil Ortiz
31:57The man goes down
31:59gets back up
32:01and he's going for the kill
32:07Ortiz was on the floor
32:09and he bounced back
32:11looking to get it back immediately
32:15Nice body shot there
32:17from Bogutok
32:19Ortiz trying to break through
32:21with massive uppercuts
32:29Virgil's looking for that
32:31big overhand right
32:35Setting it up
32:37trying to set it up with them jabs
32:41Final ten seconds
32:43Whoa
32:45of a brutal and fascinating
32:47from Devontae and Bogutok
32:49feeling that right hand
32:53What a round
32:59So Bogutok gets the knockdown
33:01but Virgil hangs
33:05That could be a nine eight round
33:13Look, he got grabbed
33:15he's losing his head
33:21You know Virgil was throwing a shot
33:23so he kind of lost his balance
33:25but he did get clipped
33:29See right here
33:31the shot lands, he throws his hook
33:33and he kind of loses his balance
33:39Second down
33:41Second down
33:43Here we go
33:45But then here's Virgil
33:47sitting on his shots
33:49Bogutok hurt bad with that overhand right
33:53And Virgil right back at him
33:55not letting him breathe
33:59Ortiz might have been on the canvas
34:01technically in that previous round
34:03but he's fighting
34:05like he's the one
34:07who scored a knockdown in the last round
34:09like he's the one who has the momentum
34:11and he feels like he has something here
34:15He is back on the inside
34:17where he hasn't spent a whole lot of time
34:19over the last couple rounds
34:25And Virgil has that pressure on him
34:27where he has two knockdowns
34:29where he's like, man
34:31I need these last rounds
34:33I need these rounds
34:35Banking rounds is extremely important
34:40Ortiz has not been in this position
34:42really before
34:44Hard right hand from Ortiz
34:46You can hear that one
34:48Bogutok has it pinned
34:50He's taking some big overhand bites
35:02Straight right hand down the middle there
35:04from Bogutok
35:06Trying to keep Ortiz off him
35:08Trying to maul his opponent
35:12See the blood leaking down
35:14from underneath the eye
35:16of Virgil Ortiz now
35:22This has been a brutal
35:24high contact fight that
35:26in some ways has looked exactly
35:28like we thought it would
35:30in others, entirely different
35:32Oh, that was a good left hook
35:34right there by Bogutok
35:38Good uppercut from Bogutok as well
35:41Chance of Ortiz
35:43starting to rain down here
35:45in the Michelob Ultra Arena
35:47as a left hook from Bogutok rains down
35:49down
36:07Virgil needs to watch out for that
36:09straight right hand
36:11because he's jabbling with that b-hand real low
36:15and Bogutok has a sharp right hand
36:20Right hand again
36:22there from Bogutok
36:24He is lining that one up
36:28Now Ortiz saying
36:30OK, the jabbing isn't working
36:32Let's just go back to warfare instead
36:38Final 20 seconds
36:40of round 9
36:44Nice body shot by Virgil
36:46Doubling up
36:48to the body
36:50Another big right hand from Bogutok
36:52breaks through
36:54and Ortiz
36:56is in very unfamiliar territory
37:10Virgil, you gotta throw more than one punch
37:12Don't look for one hard punch
37:14This guy's still very strong
37:16Look for combinations
37:18but let's try to back his ass up
37:22Right here, Virgil lands a great overhand right
37:26And that's the money shot for Virgil
37:28That's the one that's hurt Bogutok a few times
37:32Virgil just pressing right here
37:34jabbing, jabbing, ripping to the body
37:36Trying to set him up with that big overhand right again
37:40Bogutok comes with a good right hand
37:42You know, in the corner of Ortiz
37:44Robert's telling him
37:46stop looking for that one big shot
37:48Set it up, set it up
37:54Round 10 begins
38:00Virgil Ortiz
38:02has talked for a couple fights now
38:04about how there's more to his game
38:06that he has things that he hasn't shown yet
38:08because he's got a lot of experience
38:10that he hasn't shown yet
38:12because frankly, he's never had to
38:14What you heard Robert Garcia talking about in the corner
38:16don't throw one shot, don't load up
38:18that's worked throughout his entire career
38:20No one's been able to stand up to those shots
38:22but tonight, Bogutok has
38:24and Ortiz is looking for answers
38:26Well that's the thing
38:28Bogutok knows him so well
38:30that he's able to mentally prepare himself
38:32for what Virgil brings to the table
38:34and when you can do that
38:36you can take these shots
38:40It's a mental game
38:46Both guys floating up
38:48on hooks right there
38:50The Hakambe box totals
38:52for power punches, Virgil Ortiz outlanding
38:54Bogutok, 132-110
38:56to this point, Bogutok
38:58outthrowing Ortiz in that category
39:02And I like
39:04this pace for Virgil
39:06but instead of throwing one big shot
39:08just, you know
39:10throw some decoy shots, jab, jab in between
39:12and then land that one big shot
39:14With more on both corners
39:16or from both corners, excuse me
39:18let's send it back over to Beto
39:20The corner of Virgil Ortiz, his dad with simple instructions
39:22he said, you have to win the next three rounds
39:24that's why, he said, because we have to
39:26Simple as that, the corner of Bogutok
39:28they said, we're the champion, we have the advantage
39:30we're breaking him down, we're looking good
39:32Thank you so much, Beto
39:34Thank you so much, Beto
39:36We've heard that conversation a lot
39:38especially in the wake of Proffert Magrimov
39:40about that champion's advantage
39:42and what some people feel the champion is owed
39:44I don't know that you can bank on that
39:46necessarily, Gabe
39:48No, no, you know, one thing is, look
39:50it's a close fight
39:52Yeah, Bogutok has two knockdown rounds
39:54but it's a close fight
39:58Both fighters are having their moments
40:04I don't know
40:06I don't know
40:08I don't know
40:10I don't know
40:12I don't know
40:14I don't know
40:16I don't know
40:18I don't know
40:20I don't know
40:22I don't know
40:24I don't know
40:26I don't know
40:28I don't know
40:30I don't know
40:32I don't know
40:34I don't know
40:36I don't know
40:38I don't know
40:40I don't know
40:42I don't know
40:44I don't know
40:46I don't know
40:48I don't know
40:50I don't know
40:52I don't know
40:54I don't know
40:56I don't know
40:58I don't know
41:00Listen, let's fucking win this next two rounds, all right?
41:07The way you're fucking finishing, I want you to don't give him those fucking rounds, all
41:11right?
41:12At the last 10 seconds, don't let him steal the rounds, all right?
41:14You give me the finish with three or four punch combinations.
41:18Right here, Virgil just closing the distance right there.
41:20He tapped his hand, his lead hand down to open up that overhand right.
41:25Great smart move.
41:27Crafty tactic right there.
41:29And Boachuk's coming with that right uppercut, finishing with the left hook.
41:34It's a great round for both fighters, but I feel that Virgil kind of controlled the
41:41pace in that last round.
41:42Seconds out!
41:43Seconds out!
41:44Let's go!
41:47This fight could very much depend on what happens in these final two rounds.
41:54Two knockdowns, officially scored by Boachuk, so you know he's got two 10-8 rounds in the
41:59bank.
42:00And you know, Virgil, you can see he wants to hurt him back.
42:01He's starting off the round with two big overhand rights, but go back to your boxing.
42:06Go back to setting traps.
42:08Go back to that jab, just as he's doing now.
42:12This rhythm right here is throwing Boachuk off.
42:19See, this is great boxing right here, where Virgil's making adjustments, jabbing to the
42:26body, jabbing the top.
42:27Well, it's provided, if you're Ortiz and you're his corner, if you feel you can win this fight
42:33on the scorecards, this might be the best approach, because has he hurt Boachuk?
42:38Maybe, but he hasn't had him in trouble.
42:40Those are two very different things.
42:42For sure.
42:44So I don't know that you can depend on just going all out as he was earlier in this fight
42:49and going for it that way.
42:51And I think that the opportunity of getting the knockout is greater with setting traps
42:57rather than applying pressure, because when you apply pressure, Boachuk can brace for
43:02those big punches.
43:03Right.
43:04But now these shots are sneaky, because the shot you don't see coming is the shot that
43:07hurts you.
43:08That's a good right hand right there by Boachuk.
43:12Ortiz tries to come back with body shots.
43:14Stiff jab from Boachuk a moment ago as well.
43:27Chopping right hand from Boachuk.
43:29Another good right hand from him.
43:31But back to Ortiz.
43:33And that left hook might have Boachuk in trouble.
43:38Oh, he's hurt.
43:39Boachuk on wobbly legs.
43:45Virgil Ortiz fighting through the fire all night long.
43:50Man, you've got to love the heart of Boachuk.
43:52He's been hurt several times in this fight, and he stays on his feet and he fights back.
44:00Inside the final minute of round 11, as Ortiz finally racked Boachuk.
44:09Boachuk has looked like a cyborg all night long, just constantly pressing forward.
44:16Non-stop volume.
44:19And he seems to have recovered somewhat, Gabe.
44:21And I like that Virgil realized that and went right back to boxing.
44:30Big right hand from Boachuk.
44:32And another one.
44:35Boom.
44:36And Virgil right back, left hook to the body, right hand up top.
44:39Just otherworldly recuperative abilities from Boachuk.
44:44Getting buzzed by one of the biggest punchers in boxing.
44:47And coming back.
44:48Boom!
44:49Titanic right hands!
44:52What a round of boxing!
44:54Man, that was a great round.
45:05Get some water. Relax.
45:07Nice and relaxed.
45:09Virgil, how you got it?
45:11Three minutes to go, Virgil.
45:13Three minutes, okay?
45:25And Virgil was setting some traps.
45:27Right hand, left hook, body.
45:30And it was just great adjustments that Virgil made in the round.
45:33Some boxers set up the big power shots.
45:36Where Boachuk did not see the shots coming, and that's what got him hurt.
45:41Second job!
45:42Big left hook right there, man.
45:44And Boachuk got a beard on him.
45:49Well, every once in a while, fights live up to the promotional hoopla around them.
45:56But not often do they actually exceed them.
46:00And that is what we're seeing right now.
46:03A spectacular fight between Boachuk and Ortiz.
46:07Whoa!
46:10And Ortiz has Boachuk not balanced once more!
46:14Boachuk's hurt bad.
46:16He's wobbling.
46:18He's wobbling around the ring.
46:20Can Virgil finish him?
46:23Boachuk's heart will not betray him, but his legs bite.
46:30Wobbled in the opening minute of the final round, but still pressing forward.
46:38And you know what's creating these opportunities for Virgil?
46:41The adjustment of boxing.
46:43That's what you see in great fighters.
46:45Look at that right hand from Boachuk!
46:47Oh! Two right hands by Boachuk!
46:49Three right hands by Boachuk!
46:53Quick! Quick!
47:03Stop! Stop! Stop!
47:05Stay off the side.
47:08Give me some tape! Tape!
47:10Time! Time! Time!
47:14And a break in the momentum for some loose tape.
47:19On the glove of Virgil Ortiz.
47:23This may benefit Boachuk.
47:26Yeah, I think so.
47:28Time in!
47:30Minute 37 remaining in this contest.
47:32High drama here in Las Vegas.
47:35Stop the tape!
47:38Two knockout artists going toe-to-toe.
47:41Giving and taking one another's best shots.
47:47Man.
47:48Quick! Quick!
47:50I don't know what's keeping Boachuk up.
47:52He's been getting hit with that overhand right all game.
48:00Boachuk trying to carry that lead hand high.
48:02Trying to guard against that same shot,
48:04but it's his right hand that's now breaking through.
48:07They trade right hands on the inside
48:09as we're inside the final minute.
48:13Oh! Great counter!
48:15Wicked body shot from Ortiz!
48:17The right hand to the body,
48:20Boachuk backing up.
48:34The crowd here in Las Vegas.
48:37Both fighters big heart, big will.
48:40This crowd is getting their dollars worth.
48:43Every cent that they paid for their ticket here tonight.
48:47These guys are making it worth it.
48:56Final 10 seconds.
49:02Ortiz and Boachuk
49:05are just built different.
49:09One fight!
49:11Ha!
49:16Man, I said it could be fight of the year.
49:18That right there was...
49:20It don't get no better than that.
49:34That was everything that you could have asked for.
49:37And that was everything
49:40that Virgil Ortiz could bite off.
49:44We are not used to seeing Virgil Ortiz
49:46in that kind of condition.
49:48No.
49:54You know, both fighters just show great heart.
49:56Great will.
49:58You know, Boachuk not going down.
50:00Getting in with big shots.
50:02Clean, clean big shots.
50:04Right here, Virgil landing that good right hand
50:06finishing to the body.
50:09Boachuk just throwing back.
50:11Firing away.
50:13Right there he loses his balance.
50:15Virgil trying to set a trap
50:17but he gets caught with that right hand
50:19dead in the chin.
50:26Well, after some mild trash talk
50:28over the last couple of days
50:30now it's time to see
50:33Team Boachuk and Team Ortiz
50:35two teams that have frankly
50:37blended and worked together
50:39for so long over the years
50:41coming together
50:43in understandable respect.
50:45Oh yeah.
50:47You know, the fighters know each other well
50:49but the trainers know each other well.
50:53Virgil Ortiz has never heard
50:55the scorecards before
50:57in his professional career.
50:59And you know,
51:01the knockdowns
51:03are what
51:05you know,
51:07it's a huge factor right here.
51:09Yeah, that is looming large right now.
51:11Yes, because Virgil I feel
51:13for the majority of the fight was in control
51:15but two 10-8 rounds
51:17that's hard.
51:31Sergei Boachuk
51:33a plus 350 underdog
51:35in some places, maybe even more
51:37in others.
51:39As he moments away
51:43from a stunning upset
51:45over Virgil Ortiz Jr.
51:47Stunning of course only relative
51:49to the betting lines.
51:51For these two men, obviously they viewed this
51:53as a fight that they're both
51:55going to have to earn. Boachuk was convinced
51:57that he could beat Virgil Ortiz Jr.
51:59And we see why.
52:03We're going to find out if he was right.
52:05Alright Las Vegas
