    Derevyanchenko moving down to 154.

    If making weight doesn’t drain him, which I don’t think it will as he was already small for 160, it could be a good move for him.

    He might face the second Charlo for the 154 titles.

    Nah.
    He should look to fight Andrade, Eubanks, Murata. There are winnable fights for him.

      Imo definitely a mistake. Dude already looks lean and cut at 160. Derv has never been a big puncher either and relies on his workrate to win fights. Even a move to 168 would be better. Again imo.

          Not a bad idea. Lots of good fighters at 154. Would still like to see him against Andrade at MW too

            Castano V D Chenko would be insane.

              Too old. If he could have made 154 healthily then he should have been doing it from the get go.

                I wonder if he can really make that weight were he is competitive.

                  You don't move down at this age. I don't know where he has an extra 6 lbs to lose comfortably. He's never even fought at 154. No point in doing it now.

                    He should try to make 154. Charlo should be fighting at 168/175, there is a big difference in weight between them. Canelo walks around at 185+ and has already been up to 175. Too many fighters are draining down three weight classes to fight in divisions they shouldn't be in.
