HBO World Championship Boxing: Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergey Vyacheslavovich Derevyanchenko RBR

thats what i did. had him trailing till the championship rds. had him neck and neck at the final bell.

 

1 Jacobs 10-8
2 Derevyanchenko
3 Jacobs
4 Jacobs
5 Derevyanchenko
6 Jacobs
7 Jacobs
8 Jacobs
9 Jacobs
10 Derevyanchenko
11 Derevyanchenko
12 Jacobs

4th was the closest Jacobs round. I liked a lot of Derevyanchenko's work there, Jacobs didn't completely control it. But Jacobs landed I thought slightly more cleaner punches, and he kept it on the outside, so I gave him the benefit of any close doubts there. The 12th Jacobs snuck in the solid punches of the round late after conserving energy and using defence early to avoid allowing Derevyancheko to land and take control. 116-111 Jacobs. I'll rewatch of course tomorrow and score again (wish it was on DAZN so I could easily fire it up now).

 

It was a good close fight. Derevyanchenko needs to work on his choice of punches. Very sloppy at time that opened him up for the counter.

 

Neither the rival party (parties) on the right or the party on the left have really distinguished themselves in any way over the past four years so yeah, the next federal election is the Liberal government's to lose in spite of how insipid Trudeau has been these past few years.

 

Just watched a very good fight.

I had it 114-113 to Derevyanchenko.

 

Only going from the comments on here but yes it was SKY,apparently Adam Smith and co did that awful thing where they go wild for the A side and just don’t seem to be able to anything from the opponent.
Someone said they were made to feel a bit silly when they got hold of Dan Raphaels score who had it close,I’d have some respect if they turned round and said apologies for being so far out compared to everybody else.

 

Don't know how can anyone score 12th for Jacobs. IMO it was one of the clearest rounds for SD and all three judges also scored that round for SD.

 

Hence the transparent remark lol.ive still not seen a fight in ages,listened to Canelo v Golovkin on Radio(not a bad medium at all for boxing and Commentators are usually spot on with guest pro)Andrade was on the BBC that day and was superb,well articulated,knowledgeable and knows what he’s seeing)so that when he had Golovkin up 4/0 after four rounds I’m thinking this is gonna be ok,he then gave Canelo rounds but as so often happens with Canelo they apologetically give him some rounds they more or less telling you we giving him something here cause he did something for thirty seconds.
At the end Andrade had Golovkin by two rounds and Mike Costello had Golovkin up by one round.
Cue the scorecards and they saying we have more controversy here but Canelo fought well in a close fight.Times reporter said as much but also said he should of been writing up a Golovkin win.
Long story I know but with that knowledge I can’t bring myself to watch it even now as I distinctly remember em saying Canelos hurt and not replying back which is why I can’t understand Canelo fans on here going about Gennadys jab against cleaner power punches by Canelo when he was seconds away from being stopped.
One thing I never heard about again was the hand wraps,did they confirm to the rules or make casts?reason being ive never seen Golovkin so bruised up,they said Golovkins cheekbones were swollen from first few punches.

Personally I don’t need to turn the sound down but for now I’m ok for seeing more corruption.this ain’t about just Canelo as I dropped AJ after seeing him n Parker and even worse was the treatment of Postal v Taylor who was given nothing by the judges.

 

So uh, are you saying you now like BJ's movement to beat Jacobs?

 

No. I favor Jacobs to beat BJS and definitely will bet on that. Far over Andrade over Saunders who I really can't gauge at 160 at the moment. What I'm saying is that BJS movement made it difficult for Lemieux to get ahold of him. Jacobs and Sergei aren't some flatfooted bums but BJS's style is just better suited against a Lemieux.

Also for all I know BJS footwork stamina is cut in half after he's off the PEDs.

 

Well I was so impressed with Jacobs that I now don't know if I'd take Saunders over him. Of course Sergiy isn't an outside mover, but he moved and punched from difficult angles, and Jacobs handled that better than I thought he could. Just because they aren't outside speedsters like BJS doesn't mean both Jacobs and Derevyanchenko aren't sophisticated movers. I expected Jacobs to be really thrown off and wary tonight, but he managed to outthink and outbox the trickiest boxer he's been in with.

But I don't really care about Jacobs-Saunders right now. Jacobs should get Canelo, and if he can't a rematch with Derevyanchenko.

 

I never said Jacobs and Sergei aren't "sophisticated movers". Obviously Jacobs movement is brilliant since it gave GGG major issues. Against a Lemiuex style I just think Saunder's movement is a better style match up. Jacobs jab isn't as effective as GGG's either, so I don't see him keeping him at the end of his jab like that. Now I favor both of them heavily but I see both of these guys having a far higher chance of being knocked out than Saunders or GGG.

 

Quick math lesson here:

When a guy wins the first round 10-8. The other guy must win SEVEN OF THE LAST ELEVEN ROUNDS to get the decision. You see that makes the fight 114-113

Did it look like Derevyanchenko won 7 rounds to you? Dereveyanchenko threw and threw and threw but Jacobs landed the harder punches, scored the KD and slipped about 80% of Sergey's punches.

He won.

Dereveyanchenko fought great for his lack of activity though, and I would say that he beats Charlo, Andrade or GGG, and has a fair chance against Canelo or in a rematch.
