I got Derevyanchenko by KO Andrade is a good boxer, but he's a bit fragile and I think Sergei gets to him at some point.
Andrade will be just another.. Imam was just yet ANOTHER Jeff Lacy, Amir Imam, Seth Mitchell, Andre Berto, Devon Alexander, James Kirkland, Seth Mitchell, Malik Scott, Eddie Chambers, Mike Jones, Lamont Peterson, Anthony Peterson, Andre Dirrell, Julian Williams, Kendall Holt, Tony Harrison, Jesse Hart, Antoine Douglas, Tevin Farmer, Erickson Lubin After the superior athlete Derevyanchenko KILLS his career.
I love the way Derervyanchenko takes his time in the early rounds figuring his opponent out, then gradually ups his work. He really is 'The Technician'. I think he'll stop Andrade late in a typical brilliant Derevyanchenko performance.
I think to ask Sergey to actually stop Andrade is a little bit too much. Andrade is good enough to at least survive all the distance. So, if Derevyanchenko wins, it's gonna be by decision.
DChenko has shown middling power, much like Martirosyan, who pushed Andrade to the limit, but DChenko doesn't pressure well, he's a catch and counter fighter. Andrade counters off a miss or during a turn. At MW his handspeed will be even more so an advantage vs styles. Does his recovery skills carry??? That's the unknown, but nobody's calling DChenko some kind of freight train either. I got Andrade late stoppage. Probably an RTD 10/11
Despite all the hype, still haven't seen anything impressive from Andrade's inactive career to indicate he's gonna hang with the top middleweights. Good boxer, but SD vs Culcay and Martirosyan, his toughest opposition indicate his level. Derevyanchenko by KO.
