Boxing Fight of the Year contender: Vergil Ortiz vs. Serhii Bohachuk full round-by-round highlights

Vergil Ortiz vs. Serhii Bohachuk was one of the best boxing fights of the year.

Saturday at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Ortiz (22-0) challenged interim WBC super welterweight (154 lbs.) titleholder Bohachuk (24-2) in an all-action bout that went all 12 rounds.

The undefeated Ortiz briefly touched the canvas twice in flash knockdowns in Rounds 1 and 8, but immediately sought to return fire on Bohachuk, making for incredible moments in the back-and-forth bout. The knockdowns were the first of Ortiz’s career.

The fight went to the scorecards, with judges turning in scores of 113-113, 114-112 and 114-112 in favor of Ortiz by majority decision in a Fight of the Year contender.

You can watch round-by-round highlights of the fight in the video above, which aired live on DAZN.
