Jaime Aarón Munguía Escobedo vs. Sergiy Vyacheslavovich Derevyanchenko RBR.

Had this been a 10-rounder instead of a 12-rounder (which it should have been, neither of these guys had previously fought at 168 I think, so this fight wasn't an eliminator or had any belt at stake) the Ukranian would have won a relatively comfortable decision.

 

I caught up on the fight today here's how i had it

1 Derevyanchenko
2 Muniga
3 Derevyanchenko
4 Muniga
5 Derevyanchenko
6 Muniga
7 Derevyanchenko
8 Derevyanchenko
9 Derevyanchenko
10 Derevyanchenko
11 Muniga
12 Muniga 10-8 Knockdown

114-113 Derevyanchenko

Muniga had the strong finish but overall i felt Derevyanchenko had too much of a lead, i much preferred Derevyanchenko's defense, jab, clean punching, and backing up the bigger man.

Yes in the end it became closer but i still think Derevyanchenko was very unlucky not to win this fight.

 

Has anybody located the punch stats in this fight?

 

114-113 Munguia no robbery here

I actually felt this one was very easy to score as 6 and 7 were the only swing rounds everything else was clear. Had my card identical to Mannix but gave the 6th to Munguia. Swing that round and Sergey wins. Terrific fight I thought Munguia was done after the tenth

 

This fight was actually fought at 168, which was a big disadvantage for SD. Munguia was probably 10-15 pounds heavier than SD. I consider Munguia to be a weight bully. When he meets a top contender his own size he will be sparked.
