Comments Thread For: DiBella: Derevyanchenko Deserves Fair Shake; I Want The Right Guy To F--king Win!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

UNCASVILLE, Connecticut Lou DiBella is concerned about the possibility of judges shorting Sergiy Derevyanchenko again. The veteran promoter is convinced Derevyanchenko did enough to win his grueling fight against Gennadiy Golovkin last October 5 at Madison Square Garden. DiBella doesn't think Derevyanchenko deserved to lose his 12-round middleweight title fight to Daniel Jacobs, either.

I havent re-watched either fight since they happened but at the time I thought the knockdown was probably the deciding factor in the Jacobs fight.

I though Derev deserved the decision against Golovkin.

“I never screamed robbery with his fights, but he could’ve won both of them,” DiBella told BoxingScene.com. “And he, at least in my mind, won one of them clearly.

If this ain't a contradiction Idk what is.

Dibella wants to renew the contract BADLY. He complained about the promotion, like Charlo IS THE A SIDE, he is the champ and undefeated. He is fighting a guy coming off a loss. Also if you don't like fights going to the judges...have your guy KO his opponent....end of story

Not going to happen.
Judges will give all close rounds to Charlo,
even if Derev is boxing his ears off.

Derev can't knockout Charlo (too big, too strong)
unless he's completely drained for this fight...

So either way, Derev loses. Putting in another potentially impressive performance.

There goes that arrogant, DiBella showing how much of a jerk he is. I'm surprised someone hasn't punched him in his big mouth. Derevyanchencko is a really good fighter, but he turned pro at an advanced age. DiBella should have realized that when he signed his group of Ukrainian fighters. That while they're all exceptional fighters they already have a lot of wear, and tear from their extensive amateur careers. That's why they've been fast tracked into tough and even championship fights. Although Derevyanchenko could've been given a close decision win against Golovkin, they can't claim they won clearly. It was a brutal fight for both, I don't know how much that fight took out of their bodies. what I do know is that they left a piece of themselves in that ring, on that night. I can't get Derevyanchenko's battered face out of my mind. It was the worst battering his face has taken in his short professional career of 15 fights. That was 1 year ago, and not even the year long rest will restore what they took out each other on that night. I don't think that Derevyanchenko, or the other Ukrainian fighters DiBella promotes will win world titles. Thats simply because they fought their best fights in the amateurs, and they don't have much left in their gas tanks. Two other Ukrainian fighters have already won world titles Usyk, and Lomamchenko, and are the best of the crop. The point is they didn't sign promotional contracts with the arrogant DiBella. They probably saw the writing on the wall, during the contract negotiations.
