Christian Mbilli vs Sergiy Derevyanchenko - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[BigZ44]

What could had been if Derevychenko had debuted at 154 and had a better career management.

Funny, I was thinking what his career would have been like if he had come around 10 years or so earlier. He could have smashed up guys like Geale, Macklin, Barker etc. 7-1 Mbilli

Rozier should stop this. He doesn't have enough pop in that one hand to change the fight.

1-0 Mbilli. Pushing the action, landing much flashier shots. Good round all around.
2-0 Mbilli. Mbilli ****ing in excellent counters to head and body. Dominating the round! Sergiy was in trouble few times.
3-0 Mbilli. Closer round, still give it to Mbilli. Lands great shots, definitely more powerful shots. Sergiy still moving well, returning good fire.. he may be outgunned here though.
3-1 Sergiy. Lands excellent counters. Mbilli is gassing a bit. In the corner they just asked Sergiy if he can throw a hook.. he shakes his hand and says no. Really tough break.
4-1 Mbilli. Close round, Sergiy having a lot of success, but Mbilli's punches are just better.
5-1 Mbilli. Just better punches. Sergiy is trying, but he can't even lift his left hand up anymore. All overhand rights Mbilli throws are landing flush. I'd be suyrprised if this goes 10.
5-2 Sergiy. Close round, Sergiy hurts him, punches himself out, the absorbs some punishment.. before returning some fire. Amazing heart. Mbilli must be getting a little frustrating not being able to get this guy out of there.. although he's getting really close. 3 more rounds! Sergiy needs a KD/KO in my opinion to get back into it.
6-2 Mbilli. Landing better shots. Sergiy on his last legs. In the corner, they're giving him 1 more round.

Even with a surprise knockdown, quite difficult seeing Derevychenko pulling off a win, more when Mbilli is getting a second win.

Looks like the Ukranian hurt his right hand.

Sergiy looks surprisingly fresh considering the damage he took and he's been punching with one arm. Dude's conditioning is top notch still.

Derrick James: "Can u fight? Can u operate with one arm?..."

I guess he isn't actually watching the fight from his corner. Shouldve stopped it before Derev gets KOd. Better for trainer to stop it than get knocked down as a one arm fighter.

8-1 Mbilli going into the last round, Derevyanchenko a hard, hard man
