Was anyone else impressed with Sergiy Derevyanchenko?

Charlo should fight him next. They are both with Haymon so no excuses.

If Golovkin were a few years younger this fight would have ended early. As far as his skills, Derev is a decent fighter, not much else.

Not impressed at all. Looked like Golovkin couldn’t miss when he actually punched.

I think just about everybody was impressed by him. He fought the best fight of his life. If he had fought that well earlier he would have beat Jacobs and I would pick him to beat Jacobs in a rematch and also pick him to beat all the other middleweights. Do you think Canelo, Jermall or Andrade will offer him a shot at their title even though he deserves one? I doubt it. I think they will all avoid him and GGG probably won't rematch him. Right now he looks too good and will probably be avoided by all the middleweight champions.

you posted in the other thread about someone posted they made more than $30 mil for the fight. I believe I quoted you in that thread. If not then I stand corrected. You suggested that I talked about the fight and slammed Spence and cried robbery. You said “just last week you did the same following Spence-Porter” which is complete and utter bull**** because I didn’t even login. Why did you say that? It’s a blatant lie. Why lie? Don’t back track now. Why do you feel the need to lie to push your agendas?

Point me to where I said anything about Spence and Porter. If you can’t theb you are a bigger liar than I thought you were. I’ll wait. I actually scored the fight for Spence and attended the fight and enjoyed it. This is my first time talking about that fight online too FYI. But please do point me to where I said that. We can bet money if you wish? you posted in the other thread about someone posted they made more than $30 mil for the fight. I believe I quoted you in that thread. If not then I stand corrected.

I was impressed by him. He’s a smart fighter and has a lot of tools. Ultimately his two big fights he got dropped in the first round more from being cold than hurt and those KD’s probably cost him the fights. I’d favor him in re-matches with both at this point. He’s an excellent operator. The fallout from the fight is why I don’t like boxing fans all that much. Just a bunch of crying, conspiracies and total disrespect to what Sergiy did because of an obsession with Golovkin. Boxing fans these days just don’t seem capable of enjoying the sport of the fights. I don’t know why they watch. Exactly. These boxing "fans" really are the worst. Instead of enjoying fights they just want to constantly criticize fighters for looking bad or being in a tough fight when that's part of the game. People just can't appreciate entertaining fights anymore and are more focused on talking smack on another fighter, no matter how exciting the fights are. A lot of people aren't even giving SD credit for his valiant performance and instead they're more focused on how GGG looked because they have some ammunition to vent their hate for GGG.

Lol yeah he's pretty good. Always thought he was the goods.

Many of us thought he beat Golovkin but no... not impressed.....

Your last 2 paragraphs are hysterical because just last week you and others did the same thing with Spence following Spence/Porter. How exactly are you any better than them?

After watching him perform against GGG I couldn't help but be impressed with SD skills. His boxing style is very pleasing to the eye and he has that textbook style that reminds me of guys like JMM, Edwin Rosario, and Harold Johnson. Even after getting KD and cut he still came back and took the fight to GGG, outworked him, outjabbed him, made him back up, and beating up his body. He looked really good against GGG and I was rooting for SD to finally get a title despite getting on the wrong end of the decision. He’s made me a fan and I hope SD gets another title shot, what a skilled operator. Sergei has shown much in his losses. If ever there were "good losses" his 2 would be. In each fight against world class competition in Danny and GGG he found himself down early and then fought back to arguably win both fights. He showed grit, toughness, and determination, not to mention an above average boxing IQ. He has earned another title shot IMO and Haymon should put him in with Charlo. would be a tremendous fight that Sergei has a rel chance to win.

Definitely, Ukraine has a lot of good boxers. He flies under the radar a bit. I actually pick GGG to stop him between the 8/9th round. But he impressed me with the way he fought, he has two losses now and both are razor thin in his opponents favour. I still think he lost that fight to GGG via the KD.

Yes, I was very impressed with him. I really liked how he had an answer to so many of GGG's punches. GGG would land a shot or two, then immediately SD would land some as well. It was a hell of an entertaining fight, must be in consideration for FOTY. I was left thinking how I'd like to see SD vs Canelo. I don't think there is any chance of that fight being made, but I think it would be great to see.
