Comments Thread For: Derevyanchenko Edges Culcay in Tough Fight To Win Eliminator

[WallabeeKing]

Had Culcay as +800, he could've done more work but I thought he did enough to win. Devy was missing a lot, and didnt deserve to be that much of a favorite.

very good fight but it is bad for derevyachenko that he went in deep waters with average guy.

Those dudes were squat looking - like that had 6 inch legs!

Nonsense. No one ever worried about Sergei d and they would worry even less after his last two fights. He just got passed over for a better opportunity. Sergei d could have fought the winner of Canelo vs GGG in September while getting a soft touch on the undercard. but no...dummy pushed the issue and had to settle for Jacobs (who schooled him) and culcay who gave him a tough fight for a whole he'll of a lot less.

Jacobs schooled Dervenchenko? A Split Decision where fans had it 6-6? KD in 1st won it..

That's not a schooling friend..

And you're suggesting Vanes was a "better opportunity" than S.D. or Andrade? This is a man whose fought five champion opponents - EVER - in his entire career. And that includes whether his opponents USED to be champion, were champions entering the fight, or ever went on to become champs. All that during an era with 4+ champs per weight class. AND ONE OF THOSE 5 CHAMPS WAS A WELTERWEIGHT LMFAOOOOO

40 fights...5 champs...publicly passed up S.D. and Andrade for "a better opportunity"...embarrassing.

You're acting like Andrade, BJS and Lara were available for the date...get real. Who says they wanted the fight? Saunders has openly ducked Golovkin before and I liked Saunders.The only one to blame for that situation was Canelo since he failed a PED test

Canelo did not make Borat fight Vanes. Borat passed on S.D. and Andrade and refused to move off the date to fight better competition. WHY DID HE REFUSE TO MOVE? Because he still wanted that Canelo rematch money...Mr. I box for Legacy turned out to be Mr. Only Money Matters.

Lara has been adamant about fighting GGG anywhere or anytime.

BJS signed to fight Borat in the fall...perhaps that fight couldve happened sooner if Borat wasnt stuck on dragging a retired JMW who had never fought at MW, was 3-3 in his last 6, and was fighting on literally 2 weeks notice. Borat CHOSE THAT OPPONENT instead of all the legitimate available options. And you defend it. Pathetic

He's also ignoring the fact that GGG and bjs had a deal signed for an August fight if the rematch with Canelo fell through.

Not ignoring at all. It was Bo**** team that pulled out of a "done deal" to fine Canelo again...Borat COULD have fought BJS if he moved from May 5th AND Canelo in September. He was afraid losing to BJS would jeopardize the Canelo fight...so he chose another Cabby in a career of Cabbys..

GGG fans are thrilled that Derevyachenko didn't look great last night because to them it somehow excuses GGG ducking him.

Culcay should demand a Re-Match!!!!
Fight was a draw on my book...

GGG fans are thrilled that Derevyachenko didn't look great last night because to them it somehow excuses GGG ducking him.

Culcay put hands on that boy!!!
I see nothing special about Derevy...

You have to be very generous to Sergei D to give him 6 rounds of that fight.

And you're suggesting Vanes was a "better opportunity" than S.D. or Andrade? 40 fights...5 champs...publicly passed up S.D. and Andrade for "a better opportunity"...embarrassing.

Right. As if we're supposed to believe any of the 3 guys involved would be interested in that fight on short notice while dividing HBO's 1 million dollar budget for the fight. Sergei D already turned down Andrade for 250k after initially accepting the bout for 400k. You're suggesting he would have done 250k or less to fight GGG on short notice when he as the mandatory he didn't have to settle for chump change. He could have held his ground and waiting for a purse bid. And before you get started on how "HBO would have paid more for a better fight" don't forget that these guys were out of the sport before the year was over. Sergei D or Andrade wouldn't have moved the needle for a company with one foot out the door.

Vanes was a stay busy scrub. No one disputes that. But to suggest Andrade or Sergei D were options for May 5th is ****** and not based in reality.

Lara has been adamant about fighting GGG anywhere or anytime.

From the safety of the 154lb division while being content to fight bums in the almost 4 years between the Canelo and Hurd fights.

Not ignoring at all. It was Bo**** team that pulled out of a "done deal" to fine Canelo again...Borat COULD have fought BJS if he moved from May 5th AND Canelo in September.

Once again, absolute bull*****. Moving off the May 5th date to fight BJS a little later kills the Canelo rematch in September. It doesn't give Golden Boy enough time to promote the fight considering they were b1Tching about slow negotiations for the rematch possibly killing the fight because of that reason. And what if there is an accidental clash of heads that opens up a cut that makes the September fight impossible.
