How Good is Derevenchenko Really

[AKAcronym]

Let's wait and see how these guys look against solid contenders when they're in their late 30's. That other guys in their prime are doing just slightly better than an out prime Golovkin shows that a) Golovkin in his prime was something else or b) that these other guys are barely better than him on his worst day. I would hope that Adames would perform as well as he did, considering that Derev has been in 5 straight hard fights, starting with Culcay.

His style lends itself to winning rounds - he has great activity - but also losing rounds, he gets hit a lot trying to get inside. He also isn't a huge hitter.

As a result, he takes a good bit of punishment, wins a decent amount of rounds, loses about as many as he wins, and doesn't really ever hurt his opponent.

He would not be a fighter that anyone is racing to fight. You're almost guaranteed to have a close fight vs him.

The long layoff could have hurt Derevenchenko.
