Sergiy Derevyanchenko Appreciation Thread

I haven't watched the fight but he was quality pre title fight days, he's getting up there in age too. He's certainly not the same fighter if he can't deal with Adames. Hope he hangs em up.

 

Onen thing for sure, he's the best 15 and 5 fighter in boxing. His record would look better if they included WSB days. He's the ultimate 'nearly' man. Honestly I thought he edged GGG and he's been so close other times. Him being dropped in the final round and losing a razor thin fight, he seemed to have won, unfortunately it's Sergey all over. He really should have finished Munguia when he had him hurt and of all things, to go down in the final round, just not mean't to be. Terrific fighter though.

 

If he got those 3 wins he'd be a HOFer. I don't think he beat Jacobs. GGG fight was closer but I had GGG winning just barely.

 

He's way better than his record. And he was disgustingly robbed by gg (I havent watched the mungia fight already, I'll do it tonight)

 

He beat Jacobs and GGG and Munguia. The guy is the ultimate Eastern European who gets screwed.

 

He’s also the nicest and most humble dude ever. Got to spend an hour ish with him at the sauna and even when I told him I thought he beat GGG, he didn’t agree or disagree, just smiled. Dude has gotten ****ed in his career by judges, hopefully he made enough bread to live good.

 

Always liked SD. He's one of those fighters that will give any of the elites a tough night. Just never could quite win the big one. You have those type of guys in every era.

 

Wonder if he hangs em up.

 

he said he wouldn't in the interview after the fight. He said he would fight on.

 

He is a warrior and I expect nothing less

He can win a title

Falcao should have a belt soon, Lara has one. He can beat them.

 

I suspected that being derevyanchenko an ukranian guy all that "munguía robbed him" stuff had to be taken with a grain of salt.

Yes, I was right. 114-113 in favour of munguia was my scorecard, the same as the judges'. No robbery, as I suspected. Fair scores. 6-6 with a KD that decides the winner.

All that stupid nuthugging for eastern europe fighters is disgusting. It starts to be really annoying, tbh.

 

I feel for SD. A solid fighter. Really tough and really skilled. He’d be a worthy no.1 MW in other eras.

 

I thought he beat GGG too
