Good afternoon everyone. We continue to have beautiful conditions in the Northeast courtesy of strong high pressure keeping a stationary front well to our south. That front will eventually make it back as a warm front, then a sweeping cold front will help protect the Northeast and East Coast as a whole from what-will-be Hurricane Ernesto.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. secured a majority decision victory over Serhii Bohachuk in a thrilling bout at the Michelob Ultra Arena, capturing the WBC interim title at 154 pounds. Despite facing two knockdowns early in the fight, Ortiz (22-0, 21 KOs) rallied to outpoint Bohachuk (24-2, 23 KOs), with judges scoring it 114-112, 114-112, and 113-113. The fight demonstrated Ortiz's resilience and skill, especially after a two-year hiatus due to injuries. Both fighters displayed impressive performance, but Ortiz's power punches and body shots ultimately tipped the balance in his favor. This fight has all the makings of a Fight of the Year contender.

For Sacramento featherweight Malikai Johnson, COVID-19 was more than an inconvenience. It was a life-altering virus that forever changed his family. While many struggled with the financial strains of the pandemic, Johnson faced a far greater loss — the death of his father. This story is about the quest for forgiveness, a journey many find difficult to navigate within the boxing world.

Malikai Johnson and the reality of loss

Although Vergil Ortiz will have adequately trained for it, and indeed one day expected it, still nothing can fully prepare a puncher for the first time their opponent soaks up everything they throw at them and hardly blinks. It is usually in this moment the puncher confronts self-doubt and wonders if it is even possible to win a fight without having made some sort of impression on or dent in the opponent in front of them. It is during this moment, too, that we sometimes see the puncher succumb to the panic and nervous energy and either punch themselves out in an effort to punch through this anxiety or simply collapse, often dramatically.
