OFFICIAL: Who Do You Think Won The Fight, GGG or Derevyanchenko?

[Dyl-G]

I've rewatched bits of it too, and Golovkin seems to have been doing better than I remembered, but I can't be sure if that's affirmation bias kicking in or whether I was more swayed by the commentary on the night or whatever.

Either way, a real good fight that deserves a re-run.

Yeah he did. When i was watching it the first time i was just kinda watching it as a background show because of the party i was with. Everyone talking and drinking n ****, i wasnt able to pay full attention. Dere definitely brought more energy to the fight so i see why i thought he won. But when i focused and actually watched the fight alone you can see ggg doing the more damaging work.

Agree though, great fight would watch it again

... GGG looked very, very bad mostly in between rounds (while sitting on his stool)...

... I myself thought that GGG must rather retire after this (some said that he was ill/sick before the fight)... Now I maintain that GGG should quit boxing -- but it's too much money there for him in order to make him go on...

He definitely didnt look as good as i was hoping and the first thing i thought was age, but he also got the fight taken to him by someone on their best night fighting their ass off like never before.

If he was sick that week it would be a cause for his subpar showing though so who knows.

Ha!! all these triple cheat fans tryg to use the “he was ill “ excuse. accept it he is old a done. once Canelo destroys him u will say he was old lol. remember all yr excuses means in yr mind he is not old. so u cant use that when canelo destroys him and sends that kazak back to korea

Of course... I guess he will hang on for another year or so -- the DAZN money is too big...

114-113 Dervy but I have no problem with the cards

Appreciate a statement like this. It was a close fight period. With scoring even rounds frowned upon we have to expect things like this. Someone may see GGG win a round by a punch or two, but that’s still worth a point. The same round could be chosen for D by a punch or two by another person. So in reality they both saw a very even round but the scores will tend to look more like worlds apart. At the same time 10-8 rounds are discouraged unless there’s a knockdown. So often guys win a feel out round one by maybe a jab yet the other guy can only earn the same single point down the road even if they batter the other guy. Every round can be razor thin yet two judges can have it shutouts either way. Rarely do judges who have the same score end up scoring the rounds the same.
