Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Derevyanchenko Made Official For October 5, MSG

[MASTER OF you]

Hopefully the IBO sanctions this as well, simply so that they don't end up giving a title to some guy ranked in the mid-30s instead. I'd much rather see GGG get the IBF and IBO back.

I wish we just scrapped the ibo belt. it isn't recognized as a full world title and it shouldn't be we have four title belts and don't need anymore

Source: Two fights in the process of being finalized for the #GGGDerevyanchenko undercard on DAZN are Ivan Baranchyk-Gabe Bracero & Charles Conwell-Patrick Day. Day gave Carlos Adames trouble in a grueling fight; nice step-up for Conwell. Baranchyk’s first fight since Taylor loss

I figured PEDdie Hearn would try to get Johnson vs Smith Jr on here. Maybe not.

And Golovkin beat the guy who Canelo just fought...

So why no trilogy and drop your belt?

He was stripped because of deal golden boy made with ibf without canelo knowing

Golovkin will probably stop Derevyanchenko. I would have preferred it if he fought Andrade if he wanted a belt, or super middleweight champ Smith. And especially make an effort to negotiate and fight Charlo. But this is what we get, the fights we don't really want for the most part lately.

I agree I would rather it not exist at all, but the fact is that it does exist. And in view of that, I'd rather it be unified with one of the big four belts than be given out to some random dude calling himself a champion.

Hence my hope that Golovkin takes it back.

Derev schools Borat!

Pretty sure on October 6 all those-you-know-who will be saying that GGG is ducking Dervy.

People calling this a great fight didn't watch chenko's last fight.

Only reason Derev lost the Jacobs fight was because of the KD. Derev just has to stay on his feet and I think he can outbox GGG.
