Gimme your predictions: -Andrade vs Derevyanchenko for the IBF belt -Canelo vs Jacobs WBA title eliminator -GGG vs Charlo for the WBC -Saunders vs Murata for WBO. If we got those scraps the MW would basically have its WBSS.
Good thread. Derevyanchenko late KO. I feel Andrade won't be able to keep him off for 12, and Andrade is fairly fragile. Canelo by controversial decision. GGG decision if it happens this year, Charlo decision if it happens next year. All very close. Saunders UD, Murata is good but a motivated Saunders is definitely a bit better all round. There's a risk that Saunders doesn't take it seriously and loses though.
Andrade on points,Canelo to win Jacobs(not sure how) Golovkin beats Charlo by KO by round six though Charlo will have his moments but won’t have the discipline of Canelo and engages too much. Saunders beats Murata on points very wide.
Charlo gets MD Jacobs outboxes Canelo only to be robbed Saunders beats Murata on points Andrade bears def
Very good Kiwi but personally I can’t see GGG and Charlo going to points,both big punchers and I’ve a feeling if Charlo has some success,which he surely will I think he’ll get sucked into the Golovkin thing which bot Jacobs and Canelo were wise enough to ingnore.
Dereyanchenko in a close decision. Will be a tough fight. Canelo in a late TKO/UD. I can see Jacobs making it a Lara/Floyd type affair. Canelo can be static and outboxed by a longer guy. We'll see, haven't seen enough of him at MW. Golovkin late TKO/UD - Think Charlo won't be able to handle GGG's style too well. BJS UD - Really want Murata to win as I'm a big fan, but he's a bit too basic. But he could nick a late stoppage I feel.
Murata is a Olympic gold medallist, and never lost as a professional except once, when he got robbed against ndjakam in Japan
GGG v Charlo: GGG late rounds stoppage. Canelo v Jacobs: Canelo close UD Murata v BJS: BJS UD 9-3/8-4 type. Derevyanchenko v Andrade: Derevyanchenko stoppage in 10.
Good point. I just feel that this might be a very cautious bout, and besides both have good chins and most top level MW fights go to points. You could be right though!!
Canelo on points I thought sulecki was landing his right too easily golovkin decision s aunders decision vs murata haven't seen enough of Andrade lately to assess well
