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

What a great round. Defense went out the window for both guys!

What the hell? Did Mbilli get punched in the knee when he got turned around? Don't think I've ever seen that before lol

Right hook to the knee buckled Mbilli. If Derevyanchenko had a little more pop he might be actually able to win this one handed.

5-2 Mbilli in my opinion, consisering he is the favorite, the scorecards might be something similar perhaps.

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.

Derevyanchenko right has to be arm-tired.

Shut the hell up, Timmy - there are 2.5 rounds left.

Anyone gonna note how Sergiy just switched to southpaw to protect his left? He's off balance because of that.
