Comments Thread For: Jacobs: My Pro Experience is Advantage Over Derevyanchenko

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sergiy Derevyanchenko won 390 of over 400 amateur fights in an extensive career that included a trip to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The undefeated Ukrainian also fought without headgear in the World Series of Boxing before he making what is officially considered his pro debut in July 2014. Daniel Jacobs knows better than any boxer that his stablemate can fight, but he still feels as though his experience as a professional prizefighter is one of his advantages over Derevyanchenko entering their 12-round, 160-pound middleweight title fight Saturday night in New York.

He’s fighting a guy with 9 fights for a vacant title? Who allowed this? Who did Derevyanchenko fight to earn this?

This fight won't be about experience, it will be about hunger.

12 fights. Derevyanchenko beat Tureano Johnson to become mandatory. Andrade didn't want to face Sergiy and thats why Johnson stepped in as replacement.

Agree. Derevyanchenko is very hungry and if Jacobs can't take him out early then it gets very tough for him. Because Derevyanchenko only gets better as the fight progresses. He will pressure Jacobs all night and work his body what GGG didn't do.
