Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs Drops, Decisions Derevyanchenko For IBF Title

[GorillaDog]

7-5 Derevychenko in rds with Jacobs KD. Jacobs picked his shots too much too much and didnt throw punches later on. Chenko hit Jacobs with a lot of hooks R0y didnt really give him credit for.
Good Competitive fight by both guys.

1 - 10-8 Danny. Flash knockdown. Good start for Jacobs.
2 - 10-9 Sergiy. Don't think Danny was too hurt, but he definitely got defensive and gave the round away. Sergiy 's needs to move better laterally.
3 - 10-9 Sergiy. Looks sharp. Landing better shtos right now, but Danny is hammering the body very well. Close round.
4 - Danny. VERYYYY close round. Great shots by both, great round. Could go either way. Sergiy punching a lot, tiring a bit. Not good w body shots he's taking
5 - Sergiy, clearly. Dominant round for the Ukrainian. Hammering Danny's body. If he can keep this up and replcate it, Danny will be in trouble.
6 - very close. Danny I guess. Both are hitting well, but Danny looks like he's almost cruising while Sergiy looks very gassed. I wouldn't be surprised if he runs out of steam and gets KOd in the 9th.. unless his stamina is better than it looks. He needs to take it easy for a round.
7 - got distracted.. can't score.
8 - Danny. Sergiy is resting a bit, or gassing. Either way, not necessarily a bad thing. Eating some uppercuts
9 - Sergiy landing nice shots. Danny taking it easy, barely throwing. Doesn't seem to be tired at all. Think he took that round off in prep for championship rounds, because he knows he's ahead. Smart boxing.
10 - Sergiy doing well. Needs to go in for the kill when he smells blood. Danny still looks cool. He should be in the lead. I expect him to come out STRONG in late 11/early 12.
11 - Sergiy still working hard.
12 - Sergiy did NOT gass weirdly enough. Lederman's card is ridiculous.

So adding it up.. 4 rounds for Danny, 7 for Sergiy with 1 did not watch. Some were very close. GREAT fight for both. This is not 118-112 type fight, much closer. I'll be pissed if it's wide.

some of the round HBO were giving to jacobs were not that clear at all

[paulf]

Jacobs should get the W.

Derevyanchenko will probably end up with a decent payday as an opponent for a Charlo or something.

[Southpawology]

Jacobs won good fight though. Jacobs Canelo in the spring

[LA_2_Vegas]

I have 114-113 Jacobs

[Johnny2x2x]

Split decision, no surprise. Jacobs let that get too close.

Good decision, I also had it 115-112.

at Hearn's little jump on the announcement

[sicko]

Derevenyanchenko came up short on this one but he is a legit Contender at 160, would do better vs a fighter who doesn't already know him like Jacobs does

Props to Jacobs I was wrong On this one, maybe Jacobs fight Up or Down to the competition in front of him. Looked better tonight than he did in his last 2

Eddie Hearn in Kansas and not at the Jacobs fight?

Hearns is there
