How much do you favor Jacobs over Derevyanchenko?

[Redd Foxx]

Problem with Derevy is we haven't seen him step up yet so we don't know his ceiling. Really hard to gauge at the moment.

Jacobs looked like he was getting tired in the second half of the Sulecki fight. I hope he's corrected this.

Yeah, this. Jacobs can be sort of hit or miss as well.

He will be knock out Jacobs looks suck up , like a Somali Refugee

Jacobs seems to be a bigger favorite than I figured. I was thinking like 60/40 or 55/45 Jacobs.

I make Jacobs a 4 to 1 favorite. I thought GGG beat Jacobs but Jacobs made it close. I thought GGG beat Canelo both fights and is the best middleweight in the world. Jacobs and Canelo are tied for the 2nd best middleweights in the world in my opinion. The Russian is very good but I doubt he can beat Jacobs.

hard to tell

i would make him the favourite though , mainly because they have sparred each other , and he was keen to take the fight

[A.K]

Not by much sergiy can knock him out any minute and also win rounds, but since it’s in the states I favor Jacobs.

Jacobs has the height and reach advantage. He's fought the tougher competition. At home.. So he should be the favorite..

My concern is Jacobs has gotten clipped a few times by lesser dudes. I've got money on Jacobs..

I'm hoping he fights a smart fight. Uses his jab and height to his advantage..

Jacobs the edge because of his greater experience in the pro game and in a big fight environment, but this is gonna be a difficult fight to score IMO. Two high level fighters who know each others tricks and feints inside out and are good enough to neutralise em... I'm not expecting a barnburner, but a cagey, tactical fight with neither guy leaving many openings and a lot of close rounds, maybe heating up towards the end.

Gonna be a judges nightmare I think but I got Danny by close UD - thing is I'm more like 70 / 30 in favour of Danny to win even though the fight won't look like a 70 /30 fight, if that makes sense? Danny with the slightly flashier work and (perhaps) the favoured guy will make it slightly easier to score the close rounds (and there will be lots) for him.

The very small amount of sparring I saw it looks like Derevyanchenko was pushing Jacobs around. Jacobs is good at fighting backwards but not so good when he's pushed back. I thought he gave up too much ground against Golovkin on occasion in their fight even though I still thought he won. It's going to be a tough fight but Jacobs should be victorious. If the popular belief is he's going to win, it doesn't matter if it's a 10% chance or a 100%.
