Undercard High quality
Even with Madrimov pulling out of the battle, Bohachuk vs. Davis remains to be by far one of the best match on the Fury-Usyk 2 card. There’s nothing on the undercard when you get previous the Bohachuk battle, which is unhappy. Ishmael Davis stands zero likelihood of beating Bohachuk, however he’ll give it a great strive earlier than getting mowed down in six rounds. Davis can’t punch, and he’s simply British-level.

It’s a dismal card slanted towards British followers—the easy, ultra-hardcore selection. They’re not overly pleased with the lackluster fights, principally domestic-level fighters who won’t ever be champions and even contenders.
Surprisingly, Turki Alalshikh didn’t draw the road with the promoters, and it will NOT occur. If I had been the cash man, I’d snort the promoters out of the room in the event that they supplied me these identical fights. These fights are simply so horrible that it’s unbelievable that any of them made it on this card.
Turki ought to dump the undercard and discover some last-minute replacements as a result of none of them are worthy of being on a PPV card, even a low-level one. These are small hall-type fights.
Madrimov got here down with a case of acute bronchitis, which raised the eyebrows of disbelieving followers. He’ll be combating Vergil Ortiz Jr. on February twenty second in Riyadn.
Bohachuk-Davis may steal the present from the primary occasion Fury-Usyk 2 rematch on the Kingdom Area in the event that they go to battle on Saturday night time. The previous WBC interim junior middleweight champion Bohachuk’s battle towards Vergil Ortiz Jr. on August tenth was one of the crucial thrilling fights this yr, as each guys had been throwing bombs.
Vergil Jr. fell aside by the eighth spherical after getting dropped for the second time by Bohachuk. After that knockdown, Ortiz Jr. bought on his bike and went into survival mode for the ultimate 4 rounds to win a controversial 12-round majority choice. Most would agree that Vergil Jr. didn’t win, but it surely was Las Vegas; it goes with the territory.
Bohachuk Unfazed
“I have good opponent, I have good show. Of course, I’m upset at) Madrimov. Now it’s okay, I have an opponent, I have a show,” stated Serhii Bohachuk to Struggle Hub TV, reacting to Israil Madrimov pulling out of their battle this Saturday, December twenty first, in Riyadh.
Ishmael Davis misplaced his final battle to Josh Kelly by a 12-round majority choice on September twenty first on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in London. It’s unknown why Turki didn’t use Kelly as Bohachuk’s opponent somewhat than the man he beat, Davis.
That might have made way more sense, however even Kelly could be a poor selection. Bohachuk would destroy him in addition to Davis, and he’s positively going to make simple work of him on Saturday. It is a horrible mismatch.
