Brilliant writing on this article my good friend. I will be recommending you for a Pulitzer award.

I second this

D-chenko is damaged goods. Too many wars have taken whatever he had left in the Munguia fight. He's not even a gatekeeper any longer.

He's still very much a gate keeper, and that's why Mbilli is fighting him. Even at 38 yrs old, Deryvanchenko is going to give this man a tough fight. Given the styles, expect a FOTY type war.

Christian Mbilli has been facing bums and club fighters so I most certainly will go with Sergiy Derevyanchenko in this fight, easy win too.

What a garbage ass fight. Derevanchenko or however you spell it, is damaged goods.

It's the new way of climbing to the top. He said no to Morrell jr, then fought hefron and now a 38 yo journeyman, same one munguia fought before ryder.

Lots of respect for Derevyanchenko, but he's 40 years old and has never grabbed the brass ring. Mbilli didn't call out Morrell or Benny. That tells me everything I need to know about what TR thinks of him.

Both the guys you mentioned moved up to 175. I assume mbili who is higher ranked in ibf will see if he can be in line for the vacant title vs scull after this. Doubt he moved up to 175 should Morrell beat rod.

They moved up recently. Mbilli had all of 2023 to go looking for them. He didn't.

Derevyanchenko is not a journeyman, he's a gatekeeper.

He's 15-0 against fighters that never won a world title in their careers and 0-5 against fighters that did.

That's the definition of a gatekeeper.

Great matchup. He almost took out Munguia
