Consolation round one winners go against defeated semi finalists in consolation semi finals: Andrade vs Eubank jr. Charlo vs Derev Any thoughts on who would win these bouts?
Andrade out boxes Eubank jr in an ugly fight. Andrade W-12 over Eubank jr. Derevyanchenko is in another barn burner with Charlo. Derev is knocked down early but gets up to out hustle Jermall and finish with an 8-4 type of fight in his favor, minus the point for a knockdown and it ends up a three point fight. Without boxing politics Derev wins a 115-112 type decision, if the fight is on PBC Charlo wins a unanimous decision setting up a consolation final match against Andrade. The incentive for winning the consolation finals is a big match vs the eventual champion. As we all know Finalist Canelo won't be allowed to lose a decision, so he can't lose unless he's KOED or unexpectedly gets beat up by GGG. The finals fight is yet to be fought. Politics wins so we will see Andrade vs Charlo for 3rd place. 5th place finals will be Derev vs Eubank jr, and 7th place final will put Mungia vs Murata. Any thoughts?
