Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Serhii Bohachuk Undercard

Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Serhii Bohachuk Fight

  • Division/Weight: super welter
  • Vergil Ortiz Jr record: 21-0
  • Serhii Bohachuk record: 24-1
  • Belts at stake: Interim WBC Super Welterweight Title

Vergil Ortiz Jr faces Serhii Bohachuk for the Interim WBC Super Welterweight Title.

Ortiz, undefeated with a 100% KO rate in 21 bouts since turning professional in 2016, holds the WBA Gold World Welter title. His last win came against Thomas Dulorme by KO, showcasing his power against an experienced fighter with a solid track record. Facing Bohachuk who also has a high knockout percentage suggests an explosive match-up where early knockouts could decide the winner, given both have similar aggressive styles and power.

Bohachuk comes into this fight sporting a nearly perfect record of 24-1, characterized by 23 knockouts. He's been Pro since 2017 and currently holds the WBC Interim World Super Welter title. His latest victory via unanimous decision over Brian Mendoza indicates resilience and skill beyond just power hitting, which contrasts his typical knockout strategy. This depth will be critical against Ortiz Jr., whose relentless aggression will test Bohachuk’s ability to find space and opportune moments for decisive hits in this potentially swift and furious contest.

Gabriela Fundora vs Daniela Asenjo Fight

  • Division/Weight: fly
  • Gabriela Fundora record: 13-0
  • Daniela Asenjo record: 16-3
  • Belts at stake: IBF World Female Flyweight Title

Gabriela Fundora faces Daniela Asenjo for the IBF World Female Flyweight Title.

Gabriela Fundora, undefeated with a record of 13 wins, 6 by knockout, debuted professionally in 2021. Her recent victory via TKO against Christina Cruz, who had only one loss but no knockouts, showcases her power. With her history of facing opponents like Arely Mucino who has a higher KO ratio and endurance, Fundora seems well-prepared for Asenjo’s challenge.

Daniela Asenjo enters with a career spanning since 2012 and a record of 16-3-3 and only 2 KOs. Her recent win via unanimous decision against Victoria Torres Canul, who also had less knockout power, suggest Asenjo's strengths lie in technique rather than power. Comparing their histories and attributes from past significant matches, Asenjo might find it challenging to handle Fundora’s aggressive knockout style despite her experience advantage.

Charles Conwell vs Khiary Gray Fight

  • Division/Weight: super welter
  • Charles Conwell record: 19-0
  • Khiary Gray record: 18-6
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Charles Conwell will face Khiary Gray in a non-title super welterweight clash.

Charles Conwell, turning pro in 2017, holds an undefeated record of 19 wins with 14 by knockout. He recently defeated Nathaniel Gallimore via TKO, who had a lesser win ratio and knockout power compared to Gray's recent opponents, suggesting Conwell could face larger challenges against Gray’s aggressive style.

Khiary Gray started his career in 2014 and has a record of 18 wins with 13 knockouts. His last match was a unanimous decision win against Jimmy Williams, showcasing resilience and skill. However, given Conwell’s consistent knockout rate and undefeated streak, Gray might find Conwell his toughest opponent to date in terms of power and precision.

Kenneth Sims Jr vs Jesus Antonio Perez Campos Fight

  • Division/Weight: super light
  • Kenneth Sims Jr record: 20-2
  • Jesus Antonio Perez Campos record: 25-5
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Kenneth Sims Jr faces Jesus Antonio Perez Campos in a super light bout with no belts on the line.

Kenneth Sims Jr turned pro in 2014 and boasts a fight record of 20 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. His last victory was a majority decision against Botirzhon Akhmedov. Considering Sims defeated an opponent with a strong knockout rate (90%), he might find Campos manageable due to Campos’ recent losses against opponents with strong records, implying potential weaknesses under pressure.

Jesus Antonio Perez Campos started his professional career in 2016, holding a record of 25 wins and 5 losses. He lost his last fight via unanimous decision against undefeated fighter Brian Norman Jr. With past defeats to opponents resilient in both taking and delivering punches, this match could prove tough for Campos going against Sims, who has proven his capability to outscore formidable knock-out specialists.

Eric Priest vs Luka Lozo Fight

  • Division/Weight: middle
  • Eric Priest record: 13-0
  • Luka Lozo record: 9-2
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Eric Priest faces Luka Lozo in a middleweight clash.

Eric Priest, fighting since 2020, has an undefeated record of 13 wins with 8 KOs, showing significant punching power with a KO rate of over 61%. In his last bout against the more experienced Jose Sanchez Charles, Eric secured an unanimous decision win. Despite fighting against higher-caliber fighters in past matches, this upcoming fight poses concerns because Luka Lozo demonstrates higher KO percentages, indicating a potentially tougher challenge for Eric's defense.

Luka Lozo entered professional boxing in 2018 and holds a record of 9 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. With 8 of his wins by knockout, he's proven to be a formidable striker having an impressive KO rate close to 89%. His recent victory was through a TKO against Vahid Karic who had a weaker record. However, competing against Eric Priest who has managed victories over stronger opponents could test if Luka can handle tougher competition effectively.

Figo Ramirez Gonzalez vs Jose Silva Gonzalez Fight

  • Division/Weight: super bantam
  • Figo Ramirez Gonzalez record: 7-0
  • Jose Silva Gonzalez record: 5-0
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Figo Ramirez Gonzalez faces Jose Silva Gonzalez in a super bantamweight class with no titles on the line.

Figo Ramirez turned pro in 2022 and holds an undefeated record of 7 wins, with 3 by knockout. His last win was a unanimous decision against Jonathan Najera Quiroz, who had a much weaker record. Figo's consistent performance, especially against less challenging opponents, suggests he might control the fight against Jose who has similar or less experience.

Jose Silva also started his career in 2021 and has an impressive record of 5 wins, 4 by knockout, and one draw. His last victory was by technical knockout against Colby Barr, who had only two fights prior without any wins. Jose's high knockout rate indicates he is a powerful puncher, likely bringing a significant challenge to Figo's undefeated streak given both share aggressive fighting styles.

Manuel Ortiz vs Kelsey Wickstrum Fight

  • Division/Weight: bantam
  • Manuel Ortiz record: 99-28
  • Kelsey Wickstrum record: 2-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Manuel Ortiz faces Kelsey Wickstrum in a non-title bantamweight bout.

Ortiz turned pro in 1938, amassing a record of 99 wins, 28 losses, and 3 draws with a 54% KO rate before retiring in 1955. His last win was against Papelero Sanchez who had poor fighting statistics. Manuel’s vast experience and strong track record suggest he could dominate in this matchup despite being historically mismatched in weight categories.

Wickstrum began her career in 2021, holding a fighting record of 2 wins and 1 loss with a KO rate of 50%. Her last bout was a knockout loss to Cris Cyborg, an opponent with nominal professional experience but equally lethal forcefulness. Given Wickstrum's brief exposure at the professional level and moving down from welterweight to face an experienced bantam like Ortiz, she might find this fight challenging.

Cecilia Braekhus vs Maricela Cornejo Fight

  • Division/Weight: super welter
  • Cecilia Braekhus record: 37-2
  • Maricela Cornejo record: 19-6
  • Belts at stake: Interim WBC World Female Super Welterweight Title

Cecilia Braekhus faces Maricela Cornejo for the Interim WBC World Female Super Welterweight Title.

Cecilia Braekhus, debuting in 2007, boasts a record of 37 wins, including 9 by knockout. Her last fight, a draw with Terri Harper, highlights her enduring competitiveness against rising talents. Given her broad experience and Harper's similar knockout ability to Cornejo, Braekhus should adapt well to Cornejo's aggressive style.

Maricela Cornejo began her career in 2012 and holds a record of 19 wins with 7 knockouts. Her most recent victory against Sara Anti Gabriel underscores her dominance in lesser known divisions. Facing Braekhus, who recently battled higher-caliber opponents, presents both an opportunity and a challenge for Cornejo due to the contrast in opponent experience and technique under pressure.
