Eh, depends...in terms of their overall performances and skill displayed, yes. In terms of putting in an honest effort, fighting outta their skin, and sticking to a game plan - I think Porter is at least right up there with him neck & neck. And I say that as someone that likes Derevyanchenko waaaaaaaay more than Porter.
Porter has a foot that is always standing on the GAS bro. Styles are different too but if SD had that Porter full steam ahead attack for 12 rounds we would of seen GGG get KTFO last night
Derevyanchenko won last night. Golovkin looked off his game, probably due to his age more than anything. Gotta admit then when Canelo says the 3rd fight is not needed he is probably right. Not because Canelo thinks he clearly won the first two, he didn't, but because he will definitely win the 3rd. I'd rather see Derevyanchenko take a shot at Canelo next.
Yes, he sets a really high pace & mixes it up to head & body beautifully.. I'd like to see a Jacobs rematch or a Charlo fight.. always a pleasure to watch him..
Being at the fight is the worst way to score. I thought Canelo waxed Jacobs live, then watched the replay and thought it was a draw or 7-5 Canelo.
Honestly this goes against the hive narrative, but ...I wasn't even particularly unimpressed with him against Culcay. Yes, it was unexpected for him to struggle that much with a guy that has sort of fallen into a typecast "Euro level" niche, but the fact is Golden Jack is very good, just shy of world class, and styles make fights and this just happened to be a tough snafu for Derevyanchenko - which he ultimately clearly won anyway.
I want to see GGG/Clenelo III but NOT in Vegas. Had this fight been in Vegas GGG would have been Jobbed yet again & you know it. MSG NY Boxings Mecca proved they can hold a world title fight & deliver a fair honest decision. My kudos to BOTH fighters it was a hell of a fight. Grow a set Canelo for once give GGG a fair crack of the whip. Fight him in MSG where the playing field would be level Leave the Vegas cess pit behind. Be a MAN for once
