All eyes are on Bohachuk right now. We’re not looking past him at all. We have a big test ahead with him and we are not worried about anyone else. I think my power carries over to 154. I don’t think I’m some devastating knockout puncher. I never saw myself like that. I just pick the right shots, and I place them at the right place, at the right time. That’s all it is.”
Ortiz Jr. and Bohachuk previously sparred in the past. “I may have sparred with him before but sparring is sparring.” Bohachuk said to the media, “In a fight it’s different.
