“How was it and what is next for Sergius”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The fight from Sergius is quite mediocre, the result is available, but the pleasure of the action was not obtained
Bogachuk won is the main thing. However, everything looked not very. In general, the election of Fox to rivals raised the question. There were no positives here. The opponent is little known, and victory over it would not bring much positive. At the same time, it is quite trained to box: both mobile, and works as a second number and careful. It is inconvenient to box anyone with such, and the boxer of the style of Bogachuk is so much more.
The only reason why this fight could be explained is the preparation for Sebastian Foundory. Despite the fact that Sergei himself does not often talk about this match. Recently, he more often remembers the name of Bakhram Murtazaliyev – a Russian IBF champion, with which he can potentially take place.
Murtazalium Fox is definitely unlike. Michael is both more overall, and boxing at all – in a few times more on waste than Murtasaliev. Therefore, it was strange to see in the rivals of Sergei Michael.
The duel began to take place a little almost almost immediately. Even when the fighters only weighed. There, Bogachuk showed more than 72 kilograms of weight – most of the time. Why it happened is unclear, but it didn’t look like a Ukrainian combat form.
In the ring, this was confirmed. Sergei, of course, pressed, hit and took the rounds. However, it looked even slower than always. He did not have time to feet behind a moving rival, did not hit as much and often as he wanted and could.
The problem is that Bogachuk is not the fastest boxer, but this time he slowed down about himself. However, at the same time, he still got a lot and enough to win the rounds.
The confrontation went on one wave. Sergei is pressing, Michael escapes. Fox moved, tried to hit. It turned out differently. Somewhere is very good, and Bogachuk felt these blows. However, for the most part, the American reflected, trying to kiss the opponent and immediately leave the attack.
In the 10th round there was a contradictory episode. Fox struck towards, but rather weak. However, Bogachuk did not stay on his feet and fell. Whether it was a knockdown is a contradictory issue. It seems that it should be, because Sergei fell from the blow. However, the referee was nearby and immediately decided that there was no knockdown.
The battle ended with a score twice 97-93 and a one -time 98-92 in favor of Bogachuk. Calm victory without much adventure. Even if they enrolled a knockdown, the result would be the same. However, it was not interesting to watch that it was not typical of Sergei.
What now?
Nothing has changed for Fox. He lost the battle of a more top opponent, everything is normal. In addition, he boxed well, pierced regularly, did not give big problems. He also won the contradictory episode at the end of the battle. Well done!
For Bogachuk, the future is not clear. Formally, he should claim the championship belt. And in fact he chooses between two boxers: Sebastian Foundora and Bakhram Murtazaliyev. However, the situation here is difficult.
In Fontor – he has a fight. It has not yet been officially announced, but the match against Tim Ju should take place in the US. It will be a revenge, prescribed in a contract for the first match in which Sebastian won the judges’ decision. How the confrontation end is unclear.
On the one hand, the Foader initially lost a lot. And in the future, he was injured, and Sebastian took advantage of it. On the other hand, Tima was repeated afterwards, and it does not add confidence. Foundra can also take your chance to consolidate the result.
According to Murtazaliev – it is free. And when? And will you not need to box with someone else? This is an IBF with their principle in defining rivals. The Ukrainian promoter Tom Leffler said that he would like to see this match in the undercardcard of Kanelo and Crawford’s battle. And this is in early autumn. For Sergius, enough time, the opponent will also have time to negotiate.
However, there is also a common problem. If Jui wins, he may want to meet Murtazaliyev for combining and revenge. And here again Bogachuk leaves the struggle for the belt.
There is also Xander Zandera, which will protect and can be available. However, it was not discussed in Sergiy’s team at all. As in the team, Zazaus never mentioned Bogachuk. It is not a barrier for arrangements, it is simply that the teams may have other plans in general, and so they do not talk about each other.
There is also WBA belt – there is the Champion Terence Crawford. However, he will rather be stopped when he goes to the categories up to battle against Saul Alvarez. However, Bogachuk there outside the rating at all.
Well, most importantly, it is not necessary to participate purely in the champion duel. You just want to see the fight against a worthy and interesting opposition. The fight against Fox had had little advantage. This victory is perceived negatively. The defeat would be a failure.
And so revenge against Ortis, the fight against Errol Spence, who does not make his debut in the new weight. All these are interesting options for which Bogachuk will weigh as much as you need, and which will be guaranteed to look.
