The Derevyanchenko pick was based off of Derevy giving GGG and hard time and Korobov practically coming out of retirement and running Charlo close as well. It's not a stretch of the imagination that Derevy could beat Charlo based on recent events at that time. And it's not like Charlo blew him out of the water. If you picked a guy to win and he made the fight close in a losing effort then you shouldn't be getting denigrated for that pick.
Who stepped in on a few days notice i believe. Yeah he did lose the fight against Korobov. I was just saying "close fight" because Pimpy otherwise would have changed the direction of the discussion like "He didn't lose to Korobov"...i was trying to avoid that stuff. Pimpy is a guy who loves to nitpick to avoid strong arguments.
yea korobov stepped in on a few days notice. Cherry pick gone wrong lol. Pimp isn’t know for objectivity in general and we are talking about his homies here, so he will defend them no matter what.
I didn't know undisputed fighters at their weightclass could be hype jobs. Wow! You learn something new every day.
Saying chenko would win is one thing but saying he would knock out or clown charlo like many did here is entirely another. Then after it doesn't happen make excuses and not give charlo any credit. Many people here are doing the same thing again saying charlo will get ktfo or clowned in this fight which is hilarious.
that’s your argument? Haney is undisputed isn’t he? But who did he beat? He is a weight bully with a jab, runs and jabs. He won belts against australian bum who survived against Lopez. Hope Loma is at least 50% of what he wants was and if he is , he’ll school haney. Not a fan of shakur , but he is much better than charlos and especially haney. Tank is good. Undisputed means sh*t.
Haven’t seen Janinek yet. But if he made Andrade run for the bills and stop hogging a belt, I like him already
I back American fighters. I'm American so why would I root against American fighters? I root for the charlos because they're from my hometown of Houston. That's not to say I don't like fighters from other countries because I do but I will always ride with American fighters. The majority of good American fighters happen to be black or Latino so that rubs people the wrong way for whatever reason which is ridiculous imo. People from EE countries or from Asian countries can root for their fighters and no one says a thing, but if you root for American fighters while being American then there's a problem all of a sudden.
I still can't believe Monteil wasn't taken out & actually survived against Big Charlo as he was just made for him to knockout, then again gotta give him credit to be able to hang in there.
