It was a razor close fight. GGG landed harder punches whereas Derevyachenko outworked ggg with light shots (many of those were blocked) however I have ggg winning the fight 114-113. Knockdown made a difference
Crowd reactions is probably the very weakest argument in favor of Golovkin going. Crowd reactions as in brief roars of approval during Golovkin's sporadic, fleeting success with power shots and church sanctuary silence during Derev's swift reprimands by way of combos and general smothering of Golovkin with volume? Those reactions? Let's get real here...
Can we have a seperate section where proper boxing fans can discuss fights? Sick of casuals here scoring fights based on crowd reactions
Scoring the fight for Derevychenko makes you anything but a casual fan. Casuals don’t score fight the way judges do, they score based on their own system which means the scoring is flawed and biased.
Golovkin was losing that fight after the fourth round and arguably didn’t win it until the last two rounds were Sergiy was looking as tired as GG was all night.
The fight needs an immediate rematch and I think their should be a review of the scoring personally, GG is extremely fortunate to have win that fight. After the tenth I thought we were in for a clear and decisive Sergiy win yet he didn’t do enough the final six minutes to seal the deal.
I review of the judges scorecards even those guys didn’t see many rounds unanimously, it was a close fight round by round.
I’d like to see a rematch Golovkin looked poor the longer that fight takes to rematch favours Sergiy imo. Golovkin certainly isn’t deserving any more of a Canelo or Andrade fight as Sergiy is. Make the rematch.
