Comments Thread For: Manager: GGG Avoided Derevyanchenko on 5/5 & They Know It

[robbyheartbaby]

Yeah GGG avoided Derevyanchenko. GGG must have been scared off with his destructive knockouts over the likes of Dashon Johnson and Sam Soliman. F*** off.

[robbyheartbaby]

GGG just came off a 2017 where he fought the most feared man in the division at the time in Jacobs, then the hottest name in boxing in Canelo and now apparently he's ducking some no name Ukrainian. Please! ANYONE on this forum would fight Canelo for $20 million over a no name mandatory for $500k y'all know it!

ggg always says he's not a businessman. Yet he avoids mandatories for a Canelo pay day that he may not even get.

You forgot to mention all the $anctioning bodies that allow for this to happen!
Everydody gets a cut...
AD has yet to earn that payday! So much talent at 160 yet he expects to move to the front of the line.

He should be stripped. He could have fought this guy in January but nooo, he wanted to do the canelo dance and wait, wait, wait.

Derev's biggest win was against Tureano Johnson who got stopped by Curtis Stevens, who apparently was a bum.

but, that is not what happened at all..... Golovkin selected no-name Vanes over a no-name mandatory for 500k lol..... and he did that at the risk of being stripped

FACT: Golovkin could have simply fought Derevyanchenko already

so..... you really are just making excuses

when Golovkin crawled up his own ass over that "anyone from 154-168" nonsense, by refusing to negotiate on weight with Canelo..... Canelo ignored his mandatory and fought someone else, like Golovkin just did with Derevyanchenko.....

the difference is, you guys were all screaming for Canelo to vacate

what changed ?

and no, the catchweight made no difference..... because Golovkin happily offered to defend his title against Rosado at catchweight..... and a few months after refusing to negotiate on weight with Canelo, Golovkin stated that he is willing and able to fight at 154, but nobody will step up

why the different standards when it comes to Golovkin

fwiw..... the different (much lower) standards for Golovkin have been amusing us for years..... if Ward or Canelo had made some of the ridiculous excuses to avoid risky opponents that Golovkin has made, they would be burned alive lol

[minemax]

Avoiding him makes sense. For that fight you need to prepare for him. Not just jump in. Also, preseve that canelo pay day. Folks might hate that. But its a business and a job. Who would really risk their money and work for just “respect.” Lets be real. We all work to get paid.

Ok, you just explained WHY ggg ducked Derevyanchenko.

back when Martinez was waiting for his money-fight with Cotto.....

and Golovkin had done even less than Derevyanchenko has now.....

..... why were you silly clowns ridiculing Martinez, screaming for him to vacate, and calling him a duck and a coward?

Martinez is still accused of ducking Golovkin today (I had one imbecile tell me that a couple of days ago)..... despite the fact that he signed an agreement with HBO to face Golovkin next should he get past Cotto

Martinez ignoring Golovkin until Cotto..... is exactly the same as Golovkin ignoring Derevyanchenko until Canelo..... so either, apologize to Martinez (on behalf of Golovkin's idiot fanbase)..... or admit that Golovkin should be stripped for ducking his mando

either one is fine by me

[S7V7N]

my issue is this.....

the IBF rules state that if you participate in an unsanctioned contest..... win-or-lose, you will be stripped..... and the IBF totally refused to sanction Vanes

Team Bullshht applied for an exception, which was approved..... IF Golovkin agreed to fight Derevyanchenko in August

Golovkin initially agreed to that. so he could proceed with the Vanes cherry-pick..... but now, he has sought legal action to defer Derevyanchenko

it is the continual lying from that team that p1sses me off

not only did they lie to the fans about avoiding Derevyanchenko, they lied to the IBF about fighting him next

Patently false. They appealed the terms of the exception prior to the Vanes bout on May 5. Loeffler addressed this in the post fight Press Conference. 1:25 The exception was still granted. Have hearing on the terms tomorrow I believe.

Tom Loeffler, the promoter of unified middleweight champion, Gennady Golovkin, revealed earlier that his fighter has appealed the IBF’s exception terms. The exception stated that Golovkin would have to face his IBF mandatory, Dervanchenko, by August 3rd or at least have a deal in place, for a bout between the two.

By not fighting that "no name Ukrainian", GGG is now in danger of losing the IBF belt (or will have to adjust all his fighting schedule and maybe move the Canelo money fight further away), so it was clearly a duck.
I understand the reasons why GGG ducked Derevyanchenko, and maybe it was the right thing to do, but a duck is a duck -- it's so obvious that it would be stupid to deny that.
