Agreed can see a scenario for Derev winning most of the rounds, but I'm leaning more through Charlo punishing Chenko, great fight, can't wait.

How wrong was I.
Derev seemed like a totally different fighter,
without the mobility and angles I saw when he fought GGG.

He couldn't hurt Charlo even if he punched him 1000 times.

Charlo was explosive. Everything he threw had conviction on it.

I think he looked like a totally different fighter because Charlo made him act like a different fighter, GGG doesn't have the jab that Charlo has nor those badass mid range uppercuts that Charlo throws, two very different fighters will make one fighter fight in a certain way, Charlo has a great chin too.

What I've learned about watching boxing for 18 years is that it's all about the matchmaking, "Styles makes fights"

I think GGG would give a tougher fight to Charlo than Derevyanchenko. That's the beauty of boxing.

Yes. Charlo vs GGG would be interesting to see.

But GGG has declined substantially. And there is a very good reason he is modifying his style,
especially his defense - so he could prolong his career. How well this turns out, we'll see.

Charlo was also very economical (Chavez like) with his movement and punches.
