Comments Thread For: Derevyanchenko on Jacobs: I Won't Be Denied, Belt Will Be Mine!

[suffolkbull3]

after talking to joe smith jr, i think danny wins this fight and actually makes it look easy. i think many of u will be surprised by jacobs performance. ill be ringside to see it.

Danny Jacobs hasn't looked impressive since he almost beat
(I thought he won) GGG. I wouldn't be shocked if Danny loses.

That and Quillin is really the only times he’s looked impressive. Probably says more about the opponents than him. A good fighter? Yes. But not what he was made out to be simply because he fought the supposedly indestructible Golovkin tooth and nail. I do expect him to outlast Derevyanchenko.

If GGG beats Canelo its time to move up and fight Gilberto Ramirez to get a belt at 168

Trip G really wants to unify at 160. At least that was always his stated goal before he lost close to two years with the Canelo saga. If he wins the rematch, it is honestly going to be interesting what he directs his team to focus on next, because 168 is not anymore loaded than 160 but it would be the greater challenge for him.

Ramirez would be an easy to get excited for fight for us boxing fans and actually better for his legacy should he win, but I doubt it generates more gate for him than a Saunders unification fight in England.

Like I said... you bring up a good point and it will be interesting.

I will role with the Miracle Man over the really interesting, but never tested at this level, Derevyanchenko. But could this be the dangerous young lion about to prove his worth over the respected veteran? Sure could be.

Really interesting fight, and props to Jacobs for taking this.

He's always been an average fighter. GGG fanboys built him into this "beast" afterwards, just because he struggled.

Every adavantage goes to Jacobs from the height, reach and Size to the trainer...its gonna be difficult for Derevyanchenko to win

[markther]

Jacobs and Derevyanchenko are familiar with each other as they both hone their skills with trainer Andre Rozier. I believe that favors Jacobs more because he has faced and fought the better opponents and has more experience. But Jacobs and Derevyanchenko will both get hurt in this fight with Jacobs stopping him late. Jacobs has shown that he can recover from a good shot where Derevyanchenko‘s chin has never been tested. Another upcoming fight I am looking forward too.

There's always a chance Derevyanchenko catches him at some point, but Danny has always exhibited a very high level of boxing skill in his fights I've watched. I'm leaning towards Jacobs getting a close UD here. Looking forward to a great fight.

I noticed slot of people in Jacobs last fight say he sort of driffs of in between rounds which could be a problem when it comes to fighting Devrychenko.
He will have to stay switched on all night.
Have you ever heard that he switches of some times?

Yes, and have seen it too. He definitely has to bring his A game for certain.

Danny needs a big performance at this point for me. He's got the job done since the GGG loss but hasn't looked that great.

Just another awesome fight to look forward to.
With Devychenko still without a L and Jacobs needing this fight not for anyone but himself to know he can still trade and beat the best.
Jacobs needs to win this fight imo and I think he will take a late TKO.
