Jermall Charlo v Sergiy Derevyanchenko

[SlimTrae]

Oh, would this lift my mood.


I'm jonesing for a fight so bad I'd watch Shannon Briggs vs Evander Holyfield if they made it. Ashamed to say it, But I would. Can only make so many karate threads man...

Any truth that Derevyanchenko passed up a Canelo match for Charlo?? Have to figure Canelo and company cannot roll out the massive pay offs now and even Canelo has to take 'short' money. Love the styles match up of these two. I'm not completely convinced Charlo has made wise strides or invested the hard work at 160 to cope with Derevyanchenko who I think much of time was beating Golovkin chunks at a time by fighting his fight. Hope this doesn't fall through!

Showtimes schedule has some very good matches listed. I just hope we don't have many drop off before fight night.

Charlo can make a statement here with an impressive showing and credit to both guys for making it happen. Derevyanchenko seem like a fighter that will take on anyone. I'll wait until closer to the fight to make a pick. Whatever happens I hope we get a clear winner with no controversy. Derevyanchenko won't want to leave another close fight in the judges hands.

If both Charlos win, then they are probably both considered #1 in their division. Jermell I think would be the pretty clear #1. I don’t think that Canelo is going back to middleweight so I think Jermall would probably be the man to beat at that point. GGG maybe but I thought he lost to Derevyanchenko.

Maybe they wouldn’t necessarily be considered the best, but I think both would become the man to beat in the division.

“I’ve had so many good fighters in my career, but Jermall is right up there at the top with Evander Holyfield, Vernon Forrest and Pernell Whitaker. He works hard and pays attention to what he has to do. The thing that separates them is that he knows how to watch his opponent and he knows what he’s in for.”

Trainer Ronnie Shields on unbeaten WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, who fights Sergiy Derevyanchenko in a pay-per-view bout on Sept. 26.

The ppv of $75 is nuts but can't think of another time when both Charlos had a bigger legitimate chance for losing at once. Gathering up all the major trinkets, 154, and putting them on one shoulder is what we need more of.
