Derevyanchenko

Have’nt seen much of him, if at all apart from highlights. What’s everyone’s opinions if he fights current GGG ? He looks like a hard opponent for G so far with the clips I just watched. It’s got war written all over it imo. Good punch selection, confidence and youth on his side. This could be a helluva lot closer than people think. Opinions please

 

Very good post, your description of him is what I seen in clips. He could outwork GGG imo. He surprises me how he can switch head and body well, he throws naturally if you know what I mean. Also it’s the kind of fight G doesn’t need at this stage, long taxing fight that might drain the well.

 

I’m not overly confident putting GGG in with anyone with a good engine at this stage. He has spells where he takes time out and I think Derevyanchenko could be there at the end throwing and GGG spent

 

I’d prefer Spike if he’s got Canelo later this year, big if though.

 

I’m not seeing the basic in him, for me he has good punch selection. I see he might be easier to catch, but that aside he looks capable to me. I could see him giving Jacobs major problems, I also think he’s overrated slightly DJ

 

You rate him highly CST80 ?

 

So you think he could well be the uncrowned king at 160 then, interesting. I would’ve definitely picked GGG pre Brook, but he’s not as intense, I think he worries about his gas tank now amongst other things. I have a feeling, a gut feeling if they fight, it might be passing of the torch time like has been said. Him and his team have belief and the limited fights I’ve watched this morning there’s something about him, he don’t hesitate, punches heavy, young, hungry and the most important ingredient for me is he’s got that EE attitude, that cold belief, like he knows he’s very good
