LakotaDakota Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Scorecards probably right, ggg just about did enough but was a close, hard fight. Impressed with derevyanchenko, recovered well from 1st round knockdown and fought 10 1/2 rounds with a nasty cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Derevyanchenko is a very good fighter however it's clear to me that father time has caught up with GGG. Never was blessed with speed and looks slower than ever, his body doesn't have the same tone either. His jab wasn't there last night with the same sort of authority as in the past, defensively he seemed a lot more static, his gas tank wasn't what it used to be although all that body work probably reduced it. Not clear his power is still quite there as well. That said, still good and will probably make for even more exciting fights until his career ends at some point.

Seen the DAZN highlights this morning. Totally agree. He looks a shot fighter. Don't really know what his end game is here, picking up middleweight titles again. He's been there and done that. Canelo fight looks unlikely. Be surprised if he makes 160 again after Kovalev. And Golovkin is clearly on the slide..Canelo looks like he is in his absolute prime.

Not exactly a 'shot fighter' when he is beating someone like Derevyanchenko but he's definitely declined and probably not too far away from being considered 'shot'. Not clear to me that Banks is the right trainer for him but it's all academic at this stage, he's 37 years old and has better had days, the only way is down for him.

Saunders is chasing no one, the only name on his record is Lemieux who isn't very good and was outboxed and stopped far more impressively by GGG before Billy Jo got to him. His record is embarrassing, a total bum as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Callum Smith absolute knocks him spark out if they meet as planned next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Reports suggesting that Errol Spence has been involved in a serious road accident with his Ferrari flipping multiple times, reports ranging from him being in intensive care to being 'seriously hurt'. Don't care if this sounds heartless but he hasn't improved at all since he beat Brook and for me looked lacklustre against Mikey Garcia and Shawn Porter. I posted on here suggesting he isn't living the right life style and appears to have lost desire to really improve, this sort of thing supports my theory. Wasted talent.

The_Rev Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Photo of the car. Dallas Police say the driver was thrown out of the car. That's probably career over, right? I'm not sure agree we can draw too many conclusions about not living the life from this, I mean it's not great but he's just got out of a long training camp for a hard fight. You'd take some time to recover from the punishment that fight inflicted and this is probably your first chance to cut loose in six months.

He definetely wasn't living the life after the brook fight. He looked fat between fights, seen drunk out with broner and gervonta davis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Jesus how he has survived that is a absouts miracle. Pretty reckless to be driving at speed without a seat belt. I'd imagine his boxing career is now effectively over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now appearing on Wwe Now actually appearing in the ring too rather than just mucking about on the mic. He has an actual WWE wrestling match scheduled in Saudi Arabia on halloween. Could easily result in injury if he isn't careful For UFC fans Brock Lesnar is "fighting" Cain Velasquez on the same show 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
