Canelo will probably call him out now, emboldened by the cracks in the dam. Kind of like the vulture waiting for the carcass to stop moving.

I’m surprised that GGG winning isn’t a bigger deal. Like I said, I wouldn’t call it a robbery, but Derevyanchenko should have won as much as GGG should have beat Canelo in both fights. Other than round one with the knockdown, there was no clear round for GGG. There were at least 5 clear rounds for Derevyanchenko. I feel like you would have to really try to give it to GGG for him to win the fight

And I agree that a Canelo fight is probably a bad idea now. I don’t think that GGG was even at his best when he fought him before. Especially now. GGG won’t be able to handle it anymore.

The bigger name gets the nod.

It was a struggle for sure. For me GGG landed the more effective blows, but for the 1st minute of many rounds was being swarmed and pushed back and in all honesty not doing much at all. You would think he would look to counter but just too slow and not triggering. On his own terms he did fine and came back, but that was an old GGG.

Maybe a rematch if he really was sick, but it now looks as though he has avoided Jacobs and went for Canelo again as it paid. I am not sure how into this GGG is anymore or if his body is too.
