This should be a great fight ! Might even go see it live

Finally get to see the guy Golovkin "ducked" lol. (I'm not saying he didn't duck him but it was all pretty weird.)

Never expected that...so who is Derevyanchenko's new trainer since his trainer Andre Rozier is Jacobs trainer aswell

[Idunnoshet]

Frequent sparring partners and the same trainer ? I'm hoping we don't get a glorified sparring session or maybe even a blowout since they're so familiar with each other .

[Bronx2245]

I'm not happy about this fight at all! I support Danny Jacobs, but I support Andre Rozier even more! This is not a good look! Would've much rather seen Jacobs travel to Tokoyo and challenged Murata, than to break up a happy home!

[Butch.McRae]

I don't mind the trainer issue. I figured Danny wouldn't pass up on the chance to finally be a legit title holder.

Hoping it's a good contest.

damn, this is a tremendous fight.

Likely Gary Stark Sr if he stays in New York; the #2 trainer in the camp.
