Comments Thread For: Jacobs vs. Derevyanchenko: IBF Orders Purse Bid For July 5

[Mammoth]

Just not sure 50/50 split with Jacobs gets this signed. I'd love to see that fight as well, however since Charlo is the WBC interim he was removed from the IBF rankings. Langford still listed as #5 however he lost a month or so ago so I'm also expecting him to drop in these.

1 Sergiy Derevyanchenko
2 NOT RATED
3 Daniel Jacobs
4 Demetrius Andrade
5 Tommy Langford
6 Martin Murray
7 Kamil Szeremeta
8 Rafael Bejaran
9 Albert Onolunose
10 Patrick Wojcicki
11 Jack Culcay
12 Robert Brant
13 Wes Capper
14 Liam Cameron
15 Gary O'Sullivan

Seems like it was DiBella who wasn't happy with the split

DiBella wasn't happy how negotiations were going with Hearn, refusing to continue them & asked IBF for immediate purse bid. This implies to me that Hearn was asking for more since the vacant belt split enforced by IBF is 50/50.

Maybe. I read that Connelly offered 50/50.

IBF was very busy! Did you see this?

"A deal was made for the junior middleweight world title eliminator between Julian “J Rock” Williams (25-1, 15 KOs), 28, of Philadelphia, and Takeshi Inoue (13-0-1, 7 KOs), 28, of Japan, so the IBF called off a purse bid scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on Monday. Promoter Tom Brown, representing Williams, and Teiken Boxing, which promotes Inoue, came to an agreement a few days after the purse bid had been postponed because they were close to a deal. The bout will take place this summer, possibly on Aug. 4, with the winner becoming one of the mandatory challengers for unified 154-pound titlist Jarrett Hurd (22-0, 15 KOs)."

Does this fight actually happen? Aren't they pretty much like family? I was under the impression this was the case.

From two weeks ago:


Sharing a trainer won’t prevent Daniel Jacobs and Sergiy Derevyanchenko from fighting for the vacant IBF middleweight title.

Keith Connolly, who manages Jacobs and Derevyanchenko, told BoxingScene.com on Friday that both boxers and trainer Andre Rozier are on board with possibly battling each other next. Connolly said that if Jacobs can’t secure a much higher-profile fight against Canelo Alvarez within the next few days, Jacobs will move forward with a fight against Derevyanchenko.

Nice! Thanks.

IBF stripped GGG for this fight and these guys can’t even make a deal? What a terrible move on the IBF part to strip their best champion. DiBella claimed he could make a fight with GGG in a week for the May 5 date. Good thing GGG didn’t get tricked into that as these guys can’t make a deal and they have the same manager. Sucks for GGG, but he’s better off without the IBF belt and mandatories that nobody has ever heard of

Expect J-Rock to outbox Inoue who doesn't really pack a punch.

The line behind Hurd sure is stacking up already though, especially with this rotator cuff shoulder injury he needs to recover from.

IBF mandatory will be ordered after this eliminator you mentioned,
Already has Lara ordered WBA rematch,
Then there's Castano who holds the WBA regular title,
Hurd though wants to unify with Charlo or fight Brook for money,
Williams may very well find himself in the same situation as SD, fighting a lesser opponent for a vacant belt,
Really don't expect Hurd to stay at JMW for that much longer anyway. He's so big for the division.

I would hope that Lara would be willing to fight Castano or J-Rock instead of waiting on a rematch!
