Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: Derevyanchenko Gave GGG a Harder Test - I'm The Best at 160!

Get stopped? HHH is shop worn and beyond his prime. He lost to non elite Dervy. He lost to Jacobs and he lost to Canelo. You truly think prime Charlo loses to over the hill HHH?

HBO did a magnificent job hyping up HHH until he stepped in with elite competition.

What BS. Dervancheko had wars with jacobs and GGG. Charlo won GGG and Jacobs leftovers, Dervancheko was shopworn. So according to you I guess Charlo shouldnt get much praise beating a non elite fighter in Dervancheko
OK got it.

I agree. Derevyanchenko gave Jermall Charlo the toughest fight of his career. Up until now; No one has ever been able to back Mall up on the ropes the way Sergiy did.

However, Mall was just too big and strong for Derevyanchenko. Also, the scariest part of it is, Jermall Charlo did not appear to even try all that hard. He was very poised and calm throughout the fight.

He refused to get ****** him into firefight with the much smaller Derevyanchenko. He stuck to the game plan by sticking with the jab and landing the one twos behind them.

The fight was much closer than the scorecards indicated but charlo did handle derevyanchenko better than jacobs or ggg.

No, I never said that. He’s a tough tough fighter but he isn’t elite. Everyone here knows HHH lost to a non elite fighter in Dervy and got his a@@ busted by him. He also lost to Jacobs. It’s obvious you didn’t see the fight last night or watched it through those rose colored goggles because he was far from shop worn; he was cracking. However Charlo had his number. Charlo’s fighting style is perfect for his build.

Charlo did well against his first real test at 160lbs. It's a Good first step but lets not forget Devery has already been beaten twice.

It's good to see that the majority in here understand that being the best is not by self appointment. If Charlo wants to ACTUALLY be the best he first needs to ACTUALLY fight to be the best and win...

Devery has had the DECISION go against him twice not necessarily the same thing as being BEATEN!!!

He should DEFINITELY have gotten the decision against GGG!!!

Charlo on the other hand beat Devery clearly.

He got beat up much less than Golovkin, and his punches probably did more damage despite less landed. I’m pretty sure the weight of Charlo’s punches is the reason for the “schooling” or “dominant” win. But he won by thereabouts the same margin Golovkin and Jacobs won.

Personally had Derevyanchenko winning, but am Curious to see where Charlo takes this momentum. Derevyanchenko was PBC/Haymon. Where does he get his next good opponent?

I’m not so sure. Both were well contested, very close fights. Seemed like either fight was about even on rounds. Golovkin scored a knockdown.

No they weren't. If you thought this fight was even you should stop scoring fights. You obviously lack credibility here.

well at 160, what's left outside of andrade that'd be considered a step up? Canelo seems to have abandoned 160. There's always ggg but he seems ripe for the taking and I'm thinking dazn would want another dazn fighter to get that scalp as opposed to a pbc fighter.

[ruedboy]

Charlo made a statement that he belongs with the big boys and deserves a mega fight. As for being the "best at 160" well, everyone has an opinion and talk is cheap.
Hope they can make a fight with Canelo or Golovkin and maybe Jacobs might consider a big payday at 160. Boxing needs big fights.

Jermall in against Andrade and Jermell against Lara are both stylistic nightmare fights...for everyone involved.

Agreed, but I still want to see how they handle that type of problem posed.
