Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko.... Who wins?

[Rip Chudd]

I have not seen the Russian fight but I think Jacobs is too good to lose to any 12 pro fight boxer.

He's a decent fighter. His bout with Soliman is on youtube, you should check it out. He has a pretty good gas tank and throws nice combos.

This isn't too soon for Derevyanchenko, but word is Jacobs used to get the better of him in sparring and even rocked him a few times. I think Jacobs wins, but Derevyanchenko will have his moments and be competitive. 8-4 or 9-3 type of fight for Jacobs.

Good fight though, wonder if Rozier gets back with Derevyanchenko after the fight.

Rozier is only leaving him for this one fight to train Jacobs. After this fight is over Rozier will continue to train both boxers,

Jacobs UD likely. Can Derev get the KO? Maybe.

I've never seen a Derevyachenko fight, he is stronger than lil g?

Derv by KO. Jacobs is overrated and only hyped up as some killer just because he went the distance with GGG and sign with HBO. Prior to that when he was fighting on Showtime with Haymon he was some glass jawed bum who hadn't beaten anyone of note. He has yet to beat anyone of note since signing with HBO but all of sudden he's some elite MW.

Hoping Derev wins since I have no interest in a GGG/Jacobs rematch. Plus, second day weigh in...

I see Derevyanchenko stopping Jacobs. Derevyanchenko is not a very big puncher, so it's gonna be by TKO.
The fact that Jacobs will have to adhere to the IBF weight rule might help that — body punches against him should be very effective.

P.S. But it's gonna be a tough fight for each of the fighters.

Jacobs looked lackluster in his last two fights, the GGG fight definitely impacted him. Derevyanchenko is pretty green in the pro ranks and he is basically without a trainer and fights HBO's darling Jacobs, the deck is stacked against Sergey. I see the fight being close, Jacobs moving and trying to steal rounds, probably getting hurt at least once but escaping with a close decision.

I would love to see derevyenchenko out the win... but it will be a easy ud for Jacobs possible late stoppage

Crazy that people are saying it'll be an easy fight for Jacobs
