    Derevyanchenko just annihilated Vladine Biosse in a couple of rounds the other day. Biosse has been stopped five times before but no one's got him out of there that quickly. He lasted into the 5th against Andre Dirrell in his previous fight and in the fight before that he took Callum Smith the full 10 round route. He also lasted into the 10th against J'Leon Love in his fight prior to that. It was only Derevyanchenko's fourth pro fight so it's an impressive result, although he did have 20 odd fights worth of experience in the WSB, winning all but one apparently too. I've not really seen much of him to be honest but he's definitely one to keep an eye on.

    I'm more impressed, actually, that he fought Latekwei Hammond in just his sopho-more pro effort. (and dominated him, with multiple knockdowns, but didn't stop him)

    Hammond is actually better than Biosse. He's a 3-division Ghanaian national titlist, went the distance with a young 15-0 (13) Paul Williams, and has wins in Kotey and Hammer that rival or exceed any of Biosse's at New England regional level. (even if some of Biosse's opponents had prettier records built up)

    I thought I recognized the name from somewhere when I checked Derevyanchenko's record on Boxrec. He came over to the UK to fight Junior Witter and Bobbie Vanzie in the early 2000s. Definitely a good win for someone with so few fights under their belt, let alone someone making their debut.

    Maybe Haymon will get murdered by one of his tranny lovers in a fit of jealous rage (assuming the rumours are true about him swinging like that, which I'm not suggesting they are by the way) and his whole master plan to take over the sport will fall by the wayside.
