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

[Joseph]

Bradley gobbling Mbilli's hog. He couldn't take out a one-armed 38 year old man who has been through WARS. Shut up, Tim. Just shut the **** up.

[madhive]

The last two rounds were almost ruined by Bradley's constant whining.

[famicommander]

Derevyanchenko is a tough customer. Jacobs, GGG, Charlo, Adames, Munguia, and now Mbili without getting stopped. Hopefully he retires, he doesn't need to take more damage. He should've stayed at 160.

[BigZ44]

Cards as follows: 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92, UD for Mbilli

[j0zef]

Judges had it 10-0, 9-1 and 8-2. Fair enough.. I had 8-2. Hard to fight 1 armed. So much heart for the Ukrainian though.

[BigZ44]

There are only 2 opponents I want to see Mbilli against next, Munguia or Sadjo. Both of those are absolute wars that puts Mbilli in legit Canelo contention with a victory. I'd kill to see either of those matchups.

Let's also get an old man tourney going at 168, Avtandil Khurtsidze vs Felix Sturm, winner gets Derevyanchenko, loser goes back to prison

[Loque-san]

Such bad luck for Derev and so early in the fight too. Mbilli was his usual self, he did his job. He's not that good but it's gonna take a very good fighter to beat him.

Bradley was awful as usual. You could tell how bad the commentators wanted the stoppage to be able to sell Mbilli as the only man to stop Derev. Mbilli didn’t deserve a stoppage and Derev didn’t deserve to be stopped.

We learned that Mbilli doesn't have world-class power and is easy to hit. Got it.

[Damn Wicked]

I was more impressed by the old, smaller, one-armed Derevenchenko than the younger, fresh, bigger Mbilli.
Derevychenko is the much greater fighter historically of the two at this point in time. Mbilli will have to do a lot more get to get to Chenko's level. Bradley is hoping we all forget the size, age and injury differential between these two guys. I don't think Mbilli will end up being a higely successful fighter....Maybe, but he has a lot to improve.

I was thinking that too. They wanted to say Mbilli was the guy to do it.

I think the trainer shouldve stopped at the end of the 10th. But when he put him back in I was just hoping he could stay on his feet. Getting stopped while one-armed wouldn't have been justice for a guy who never got stopped with two.
