Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Derevyanchenko Formally Ordered By The IBF

[Robi13]

Who else would be rated 2 or 3 in the IBF. Charlo was elevated so he isn't ranked. Andrade isnt ranked. Jacobs just lost.

Good point, can’t argue there

it was more about the timing, serg lost to jacobs not long ago, why rush him to a title fight again so soon, canelo won the title like 3 months ago and you already enforcing him a mando who hasnt dont much to desrve it...

[turnedup]

Why does the ibf think so highly of dervey? In slightly over a yr both ggg and Canelo were stripped to give him a title shot. He's not even a top 5 middleweight.

Because he clearly beat a Charlo and got the judging shaft. The other ranked fighters either just fought or have fights lined up or are out due to rumored injuries or playing musical chairs with negotiations.

The guy has an 11 fight contract. How long do they expect for him to wait between fights if they want him to fulfill that amount? This is what happens when you have multiple belts.

The rankings are the rankings and the mando rules are the mando rules. Alvarez inherited a mando from Jacobs. Dervy and GGG were the top 2 IBF contenders.

Well atleast GGG would be fighting someone credible...compared to those cans

Not sure. What's Derevyanchenko's best win? What do you remember him the most for, other than being an ever present trinket mando?

im talking about the ibf rushing serg to another title fight, that has nothing to do with canelo and his contract...
by the way, i fully understand dazn trying to get canelo-ggg 3...

[fistandfury]

A decent opponent for GGG, nothing too threatening on paper

However, GGG is really soft right now, ripe for the taking, if SD shows up ready to fight, he has a serious shot at winning, it will be difficult for GGG to get up for SD, or the belt that he believes is his already

[tokon]

I'm not seeing any outrage of the fact that GGG was offered a title shot with a guy who's on the same network as him.

But he supposedly is ready to deal with someone on a whole nother network than he's on in a "mandatory" when he could have voluntarily got a title shot if he wanted.

I told people what it was a long time ago & people are not giving GGG any slack for what I been saying it was!

Yes, two things are obvious:
1 Golovkin does not want to fight Andrade.
2 DAZN does not seem to have the contractual power to dictate who "their" fighters actually fight?
