Comments Thread For: Jacobs vs. Derevyanchenko - Done Deal, To Fight in October

That could be easily fixed once Golovkin decides to fight him but I doubt it'll happen.

why on earth would charlo get the fight ahead of saunders and canelo? and dont tell me its cause 'he too risky'

[Shadoww702]

I actually like Vanes and if he wasn't plucked out of retirement I think he would have given a better account of himself. It is was it is. What it isn't though is a reason for GGG hardcores to say "He beat Vanes so that means he would beat Andrade, Lara, ect, ect the same way". They need to consider the circumstances of that fight.

I have no problem with Vanes either and when he's active and winning hes a tough out for any 154 lber.

But to say THAT 2 year retired Vanes with a couple weeks to get ready for a fight AND using Ronda Rousey's trainer would still beat any top 10 154lber is madness...

I think he's saying that the contract doesn't address the belts, only the details related to the bout itself. The organizations "sanction" the bout and determine if a fighter is "ELIGIBLE" to be recognized as a champion based on the conditions of the bout. I figure if the IBF second day weigh in was in the contract, Jacobs was in breach of contract and could have been sued by Golovkin.

The IBF seek a signed contract for the fight from both fighters before fully sanctioning the bout. Its a tentative sanction prior to them receiving this.

If they had no intention of fighting for the IBF belt due to the second weigh in, they shouldnt have submitted a signed contract to them for their sanction unless they knew were to act in bad faith.

He's the mandatory. In a perfect world, I'd love to see GGG vs Charlo after Canelo, but he'll probably do Saunders, maybe fight Canelo again, then call it quits. That's the way I see it.

Saunders, Canelo, winner of the IBF showdown, Murata. Literally, all bigger fights than Charlo. He deserves it because he is a hungry lion though!!!

Hope all the Derevyan fans come out of the woodwork and support their fighter now. Make it a big fight. Thats the only way to make MW more interesting.

So do you want to see the fight or just pop ***** about what you think would happen?

Yeah it would be a goid action fight but I doubt it's going to happen. If Golovkin beats Canelo then he could go after Saunders, Murata, or the winner of Jacobs Derev. They are all better money fights than Charlo.

For sure. Jacobs and Derevyanchenko match up real well. I'm excited for this one.

Why did Haymon seek the sanctioning of that bout by allowing jacobs team / promoter so submit a signed bout agreement to the IBF following tentative sanction?

They had nothing to lose by doing so.

yeah they all seemed to rate him very highly, must be a hell of a fighter if they are to be believed and ggg thought he was too risky. im expecting them all to be picking him against jacobs.

So they acted in bad faith. Gotcha...

They Allowed the promoter of that fight to pay the sanctioning fee to the IBF after signing their contract to gain that sanciton, knowing they werent going to abide by that orgs rules.

cheers for clearing that up
