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

[markther]

When this fight was officially announced, I said on this forum, it was going to be a tough fight for Jacobs. And I predicted Jacobs would win a very close decision. He had a solid amateur background and a 77% KO percentage as a pro. Fundamentally sound fighter that is an avoided fighter like Jacobs said. Credit to Jacobs for taking this fight. Unfortunately the guy will get avoided even more now.

Very happy for Jacobs

Scorecards were pretty bad...

Jacobs clearly won either 7 or 8 rounds. I had it 116-111. Harold Letterman, who gets unfairly criticized, had the best scorecard and was spot on the entire fight.

There's no way Derevyachenko won more than 6 rounds.

Sergiy was the more busier, punching in volume but wasnt landing clean. Jacobs sat down on his shots, and slipped them better. The right result.

[P4Pdunny]

Not sure how Sergiy won a scorecard though.

It was a good fight. Coulda went either way, but probably did go the right way. This fight showed me that Jacobs isn't as good as I though he was. He would get schooled by Canelo and/or Jermall Charlo. Derevyanchenko isn't that great and he gave Danny all he could handle.

At middleweight there is Canelo and Charlo and then everyone else.

That was a war best fight of the year sergi will defo be a world champion him v Canelo would be some match up style wise

I personally thought it was a UD win for Jacobs but the right man won. I didn't see Sergiy winning more than 5 rounds at MOST.

That was a good fight, im glad jacobs took this fight seriously and he clearly won. That amateur brackground that sergey has made a huge difference in the fight.

Exactly I think people also are ignoring the fact that Jacobs was anywhere from 8-13pds larger when he faced GGG as well had GGG fought this Jacobs he just might have knocked him out

You gggroupies are so fcking biased I swear. Whenever ggg constantly fights smaller fighters you can care less,but when he gets taken to the brink by a b+ fighter you cry that he supposedly somehow defied the laws of physics & gained like 30+ lbs in 1 night. Ggg & jacobs were almost the same weight in that fight regardless of fanboi false narratives,& he was trying to cherrypick Murata who as usual is smaller than him,rather than face Charlo whos bigger as he's mandated to do. Because ggg is 1 giant cherrypicking püssy who hates fighting AA or ANYONE bigger than him or even his size unless their complete bums...
