Comments Thread For: Manager: GGG-Derevyanechko Was FOTY; Has To Be Rematch!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Keith Connolly is convinced Sergiy Derevyanchenko's team should be celebrating the biggest victory of his career. Despite Derevyanchenko's defeat to Gennadiy Golovkin, Derevyanchenko's manager also is sure his fighter gave Golovkin such an entertaining fight Saturday night at Madison Square Garden that a huge faction of fans would want to see an immediate rematch. Derevyanchenko doesn't have a rematch clause in his contract, but Connolly will get to work as soon as possible on securing one for the courageous Ukrainian contender.

It was a great fight and I would love to see a rematch!

GGG deserved the win, but only just!

[Boxing Hero]

I don't like ethier fighter. But yes, so far this is fight of the year!

[OnePunch]

it was a good fight, but people need to slow down a bit with the FOTY labels.......

That was Porter v Spence.

I agree. GGG looked old and slow, and too focused on attacking the cut. Derevyachenko brought the fight to him, but outside a few big shots didn't seem to cause as much damage or be as effective as Golovkin was in return (when he had the energy to fight back).

It was a close fight, but not as high quality as some are making it out to be

A rematch would be great but unless it's a mandatory it's not going to happen. Sergiy is like Andrade, he's a dangerous guy that only gets an opportunity when he's the mandatory. The biggest difference between their situations is that Andrade has a belt and he's far, far better managed, promoted and subsequently better known=more $$$$.

There is a higher probability of a Golovkin vs Andrade because of DAZN, $$$ & Belts but after GGG's last fight I don't see it happening soon. My take, GGG with pursue either Murata or rematch Canelo.

As I see it, Derevyanchenko is back were he started, he challenged for the belts twice and lost both times. It's apparent that nobody really wants to fight Sergiy unless that have no other choice. If Keith Connolly was serious about getting a profile fight he should look for names with lessor options, namely Andrade or Charlo.

You know how many people have been robbed in boxing? Or how many decisions were the majority thought the "winner" lost & their wasn't a rematch?

I rather see Canelo or GGG fight Andrade.

Derevyanchenko should fight Charlo since people say he has no opponents.

GGG got booed in a place he us usually loved. He was "running" like you guys accuse Mayweather of doing minus the beautiful counter punches and defense. The Judges got it wrong and the punchstats are Lying.GGG should retire...

People need to let this robbery thing go. I had GGG 114-113, I could easily see the same score the other way. Could have went either way, no robbery. I had GGG winning the first 10-8 and the second, the last 2 and 2 of the other 8 rounds. Fight of the year? No. Top 10 yes.
