360° Promotions: Ryan Martin vs. Luis Eduardo Flórez & Serhii Bohachuk vs. Lucius Johnson RBR

Memorable pro debut. Impressive poise for an eighteen year old.

 

This card's delivering so far. Better than a lot of Friday night ESPN cards tbh.

 

Serhii Bohachuk vs. Lucius Johnson, 6 rounds @ middleweight

 

There are two fights left on the card, and 360 Promotions did say all seven fights would be streamed - which means presumably the missing pair will either be sandwiched in between the co-main & main or they're being reserved for walkout bouts.

 

Bohachuk is the reason Gassiev is attending this, by the way. He's a camp buddy, also trained by Abel.

 

Round 1

Bohachuk is jabbing in on Johnson, aggressive from the outset. Johnson is flashing out fast straight counters on the body. Bohachuk comes in loading up a right hand, dropped to a knee by a Johnson pull-counter right! Bohachuk springs off the canvas without awaiting the ref's count and hammers Johnson down with a right! Bohachuk finishes the round strong, pounding the body and pecking with hard jabs to back Johnson up. Still technically just the one knockdown officially ruled, in Johnson's favor.

10-8 Johnson

 

Very confused about the weight situation. This is technically a middleweight bout and yet Bohachuk came in at 152¾ (in other words safely under the super welter limit), while Johnson weighed in 162½ (technically super middle).

 

Round 2

Bohachuk is creaming the rib cage of the lithe & quick Johnson, sapping his strength, wobbling his legs, frequently doubling him over to set him up for point-blank uppercuts. All Bohachuk. His two-point swing in the opener might prove a pyrrhic victory for Johnson, he's starting to look a wilting fighter, another round of this and maybe the white towel should be flown.

10-9 Bohachuk

19-18 Johnson
