DiBella: Derevyanchenko Fought GGG Like A F***ing Warrior!

•Oct 7, 2019

NEW YORK – By the end of the second round Saturday night, Sergiy Derevyanchenko didn’t appear ready to give Gennadiy Golovkin what evolved into the fight of the middleweight champion’s life. Golovkin dropped Derevyanchenko in the first round, albeit with a right hand Derevyanchenko believes landed on the back of his head. In the following round, Golovkin’s left hook caused a nasty laceration above Derevyanchenko’s right eye, which impacted Derevyanchenko’s vision.

NEW YORK – Sergiy Derevyanchenko’s handlers stopped short Saturday night of calling their fighter’s loss to Gennadiy Golovkin “a robbery.” Promoter Lou DiBella and manager Keith Connolly instead emphasized Derevyanchenko deserved to defeat Golovkin in their 12-round middleweight title fight at Madison Square Garden. An extremely determined Derevyanchenko gave Golovkin perhaps the most difficult fight of his 13-year pro career, but he lost a unanimous decision that left Derevyanchenko’s representatives requesting a rematch.

If ever the term “scoring could go either way” was applicable to a fight, it was Saturday’s thriller between Gennadiy Golovkin and Sergiy Derevyanchenko. The irony is that while the judges’ final tallies ran in one direction in awarding Golovkin with a unanimous decision, how they each arrived at that point clearly illustrates the subjective art of round-by-round scoring.
