[Boxing]: Golovkin vs. Dereyvanchenko - Vacant IBO Title

[rodel caling]

Win by points for the favorite under the circumstances should be considered business as usual in boxing.

I don't think Dereyvanchenko accomplished anything significant to dub this fight "controversial" in anyway, you could say 2 evenly matched fighters with Golovkin showing more ease and experience in some rounds, all in all a quite underwhelming fight.

That is right mate because the fight is very closer both fighter want to got win at that games but only one decision and only need to get win and for sure the decision of the judge is very hard but need to decides and from the point system and technicality for both boxer.

I was a good fight and there was no controversy, the opposition might feel that they won the fight because he is not judging the fight, when he goes home and watch the fight and then give points as a neutral person then he will understand that it was a fair decision. Majority of the users expected a knockout but it looks like age is also playing with Gennady Golovkin and hopefully we will see the trilogy with Canelo Álvarez.

But let’s see since we still have plenty of Time to think on which to bet

Gennady Golovkin won the fight by unanimous decision and captured the middle weight vacant IBF belt again.
The fight was really good and both were trading shots and now the fight i want to see is the trilogy fight against Canelo Alvarez and that too outside US.

It was indeed a close fight, I thought GGG will lost this one as Dereyvanchenko went toe to toe with GGG and wasn't afraid. It was a war but in the end GGG edge him in a UD. But to be fair I had it Dereyvanchenko 115-112. The judges scorecards are: 114-113, 115-112 and 115-112, all for GGG.

I don't think Canelo will fight GGG here with this performance, it looks like GGG is old based on this fight.

Another case of overconfidence or something happen to GGG week before the fight? Eddie Hearn claimed the GGG was sick the week leading to the fight.

"I thought Derevyanchenko was unbelievable. He won't say it, but Gennady has been ill basically all week, and it was a real struggle for him, and he kept it completely quiet.

But in the post fight interview, GGG is qouted:

"Right now it's a bad day for me, it's a huge day for Sergiy, his team. This is huge experience for me. Right now I know what I need exactly. I lost a little bit of focus."

But one is for sure,  Derevyanchenko showed a lot of heart on that fight, his fight record showed otherwise. He seems to me an experienced boxer.

The fight was close and dereyvanchenko think he won the fight, but for the judges perspective it's different. Yes, he put up a hell of boxing out there and deserve to think he won the fight. For me, I will give Golovkin this fight since he hits harder than his counterpart.

It's not who hits the hardest, it's who can stand up and fight more. And I'm sure fans of Dereyvanchenko thinks their guy won because he really stood and try to fight with one of the dangerous fighter out there. But he still fall short of it and I think Golovkin won this fight but it was really really close. Just like the Porter and Spence fight.

Golovkin is  the winner of this fight which is surprising via unanimous decision it should be split decision anyway the scorecard is very close, Golovkin show rustiness in this fight he was always caught by Dereyvanchenko, so many times, it's a candidate for the fight of the year but I doubt it will get the title, I still go fo the Thurman Pacquiao match, so we will not wait of the Joshua Ruiz fight.

I do really see this to be controversial.When it comes to point i do mostly give this one out to Dereyvanchenko but as we all know that Boxing is business and all shady stuffs can happen from time to time and this is well anticipated if we do try to look closely on the fight i would really say that Dereyvanchenko got this one basing on punches being thrown out with successful hits.Do this one would have a rematch? Pretty boring fight actually specially into its conclusion.

Try to look on the scores https://www.boxingscene.com/golovkin-derevyanchenko-scorecard-analysis--143162

'as judges Frank Lombardi (Connecticut) and Eric Marlinski (Buffalo, New York) each scored the contest 115-112, while Kevin Morgan (New York) was one round closer with his 114-113 card.'

Scores arent really that close enough and talks about stamina then its quite questionable for GGG.

GGG won the fight but his performance especially during the last rounds left a lot to be desired, at the beginning of the fight it seemed like he would end it quickly, he got a knockdown and his opponent received a cut very early on the match, but as the rounds passed his performance diminished, he had problems dealing with the aggressiveness of Dereyvanchenko and to me it seems as if GGG is finally showing his age, but whatever the case I want to see if Canelo will accept to fight GGG again since the last fight was really controversial.

Well that's what the boxing community is seeing on GGG performance, it looks like age is catching up with him already that's why his performance is somewhat questionable at this point.

Or just maybe Dereyvanchenko is one hell of a tough fighter, he was able to hit GGG with solid punches that might slow him down a bit. Or maybe GGG overtrained, there's a lot of reasons why GGG was not able to ko Dereyvanchenko as everyone has expected.

at the age of 37 he is now fighting a younger and more aggressive fighter not easy. The unseeded Derevyanchenko was endlessly brave resistance. Several times the hook broke through the defense in Golovkin's ribs. I think if the rematch against Canelo it really happens GGG will lose again.
