A little to late for Tyrone who hasn’t looked bad lately. the Ukrainian kid does land some bombs and seems like a pretty good welterweight.
This was Bohachuk’s best win so far. The kid can go far and should be in good hands with Abel Sanchez.
Some improvement in Bohachuk’s technique. He stayed away from Brunson’s power and worked methodically. More is needed. He still looks wide open to the body and his footwork is a long way from fluid.
@ David: True/good observation! It showed in his amateur fights: he lost way too many, but his improvement over the last few years is remarkable.
Those Ukrainians are like a K Mart radio…They don’t play.
Bohachuk is a raw talent with a lot to work with. I would like to see him be less in love with his power, and use a little bit more craft in the ring. Unfortunately, he has the wrong trainer in the corner for that. Sanchez will continue to turn the Ukrainian into a butcher, until he meets somebody that he can’t whack out of there.
