Comments Thread For: TV Picks of The Week: Christian Mbilli vs. Sergey Derevyanchenko

[SouthpawRight]

Kinda light this weekend for boxing. Only one I will have access to is that Mbilli/Devryenchenko card.

Makhmudov picking up the pieces of his career with a fight against Vianello. Guido nearly pulled off the upset against a very lethargic Ajagba.... probably the best I've seen the Italian fighter look. That said, Makhmudov should be able to blow out Vianello.

Diego Pacheco

Many Cubans at 168 too

Derevyanchenko is tougher than a pair of old combat boots. He's an integral part of the Truth Machine that is boxing. He separates the wheat from the chaff. If you aren't top level , Derevyanchenko will show it. I really hope that he is making good money in his career because he sure deserves it. Mbilli seems like the kind of guy that won't take any opponent lightly and will be well prepared when he steps into the ring. I believe that he's got the quality to beat Derevyanchenko , but as usual, it won't be easy.

No it will not be easy ........first you got MBilli who is forward punching animal inside the ropes. But when put to the test he can miss, he can get frustrated and even tiered yes tiered with a boxer/decent puncher. What worries me is the powers that be want MBilli to do well (win) for the eye's he brings to fight game, Then you have Dervy's age and a win puts him into position for another main event or two that they have to sell. So they sometimes take a fighter out of his game as in body punch's make a deal out of nothing(pts) round houses call it behind the head foul, so it has to be damn near a knock out and even they someone might pull a fire alarm and ruin the whole night. Enjoy the fight while it lasts.....

If Sergey has anything left he wins but if he tires it will be the longest night of his career. Upset possible!

Joel has to be ancient at this point too. I remember when he fought Alfredo Angulo about 15 years ago....

I looked at his boxrec record. He has lost 16 in a row now. He was undefeated when I had a mullet.

Jeez (regarding his current streak, not your mullet).
