WHEN the Beach Boys released Pet Sounds in 1966, Brian Wilson couldn’t have known that track 12, “I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times”, would bring so much comfort to the disillusioned; men and women convinced they were born in the wrong era and at the wrong time.

They have not yet won major world titles. They are not yet household names. Yet this Saturday’s main event between Vergil Ortiz and Serhii Bohachuk is highly anticipated, a collision that appeals to those who follow boxing closely. This fight is not only can’t-miss, but don’t-blink. And...

“Fighting Words” — How Vergil Ortiz-Serhii Bohachuk went from unplanned to can’t-miss

That’s the lingering question after the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where only two non-professionals—Uzbekistan’s Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev and Ukraine’s Oleksandr Khyzhniak—captured gold in the men’s competition. The women’s tournament offered a slightly more level playing field, but still saw professionals Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Chinese Taipei’s Lin Yu-ting take home gold. Both Khelif and Lin faced controversy before the Olympics, as a questionable organization initially ruled them ineligible due to a chromosome test. Despite the International Olympic Committee later allowing them to compete, the controversy surrounding that test overshadowed their Olympic achievements and performance.

It’s hard to write about a fighter you’ve been following for a long time and see them lose for the first time. Although Vergil Ortiz Jr. was given a 12-round majority decision victory over WBC interim junior middleweight champion Serhii Bohachuk last Saturday night in Las Vegas, in my opinion, Vergil lost 7-5. With these numbers, Ortiz couldn’t even get a draw.
