Sergiy Vyacheslavovich Derevyanchenko vs. Jeremy Ramos & Eleazar Holyfield vs. LaTreveon Grant RBR

Mbilli already dealt with Derevyanchenko and won clearly. Charlo even at this stage most likely repeats another solid beating on him as well. Castano seems like he’s retired from the sport. He hasn’t fought since losing to Jermell Charlo back in 2022.

Perhaps a fight with Erislandy Lara would be interesting.

 

From what I remembered Derevyanchenko had a hurt bicep and was a one armed fighter throughout the fight and was also on the verge of getting stopped but managed to survive. I still don’t think he’d be able to beat Mbilli even if he hadn’t gotten injured

Maybe a rematch with Munguia would be plausible, or perhaps a fight with Surace would be a more fitting farewell bout.

 

I remember giving SD 3 rounds at most. That 7th round was SD’s best round and it did look like he hurt Mbilli for a moment. It sucks that he was pretty much compromised by his hurt arm for the majority of the fight. He would have certainly won more rounds but even then the fight would still be very close and there’s just no way the judges would have given the fight to him unless he stopped him. By far the unluckiest fighter in boxing today. A shame that he couldn’t win his biggest fights and a world title when he had the chance.

 

It’s hard to know what could have likely happened had he managed to hurt Mbilli while still maintaining both of his arms but his chances of getting a fair stoppage would have been slim. I remember when he briefly hurt GGG with a body shot and looked like he had a chance but wasn’t able to follow up partly due to the referee getting in the way. SD has always been more of a volume puncher with no real one punch KO power. If only he had more concussive power to go with his style.

 

Didn’t get to see him fight but it sounds like he did well and even got a stoppage.

@CST80 @IntentionalButt how did SD look overall and do you think he’s still good enough to be competitive with guys like Resendiz, Plant, Munguia or Surace?

 

I have no doubt that someone will eventually stop Mbilli at some point. I’d still pick the current version of Canelo to get the job done.
