Comments Thread For: Derevyanchenko vs. Tureano Johnson - PBC on FS1, August 25

I have seen Johnson fight but not whatever the hell his name is fight.

He had an outstanding amateur career of 390-20. Lost to a Cuban in 2008 Olympics who took Silver in a very close fight with DeGale.

He also smashed Soliman. Which ain't munch but Soliman can usually take good punishment.

I look for him TKO Johnson in under 7 rounds.

Ohh and fun fact. That Cuban knocked Shawn Porter OUT!!

Good for FOX.

Sets up for a nice fight week...

8/22 Bey-Peterson
8/25 Derevyachenko-Johnson
8/26 Davis-Martinez
8/26 Mayweather-McGregor

Yamanaka vs Nery is better than all those sh.its of your post

Derevyanchenko will get beaten by the Top 5 Middleiweights. I had also big hopes on Khytrov but look what happened to him.

I think he's top 5 material.

If he steps up his conditioning ans has enough juice to work hard for 9 rounds with a few breather rounds I dont see many out scoring him.

He goes up and down constantly, gives angles good movement slips and ducks very well.

He seems sturdy so far, never seen him hurt, always balanced, super strong but his power seems B+ at best.

7 rounds seems about right to me. Who was the Cuban?

I'd forgotten about Tureano - he kind of fell off my radar - at one point he was mandatory for GGG but got injured? This seems like the Heiland fight - get backstopped long enough and the eventual fight you have could well be tougher than the championship fight you were scheduled to take earlier on.

The winner of Derevyanchenko vs. Johnson secures the IBF #1 spot. The winner of N'Dam vs. Murata secures the WBA #1 spot. The winner of Saunders vs. Monroe Jr. wins the WBO belt. Charlo has already secured the WBC # 1 spot. What does Danny Jacobs do next? How does he get back into title contention?

this is what drives me nuts about the belt orgs - the shit rankings - nobody should get to a champion without stepping past Jacobs and Jacobs should fight one eliminator and then be rematched to GGG

Sam Soliman is a former world champion that is usually pretty durable, so I have to assume this dude has freaky power. The KO over Soliman was a big deal.

Emilio Correa. Who lost to DeGale for the Gold. FUNNY thing is he was penalized 2 points for bitting in that fight and lost by 2 points. Cost him a Gold probably depending what the countback judges had for scores???

Yup! Soliman has loses by decisuons by some guys that had good power. He washed him over in 2.

I dunno i think the technician will destroy him, johnson will probably try and run for a few rounds, but it will end up like big baby v washington.

Johnsons inactivity will surely be a big factor...i havent seen him in years, since he beat that irish bum o'kane.?

Hope im right because Aleem V Derevyanchenko is one of the best fights at MW.
Hope khytrov gets back in the mix too, that dude is skilled and always fun to watch....maybe fight the loser Centeno?

Johnson is not a runner fa@@ot
