Comments Thread For: Derevyanchenko Acknowledges That Munguia Showdown Could Be His Last On The Big Stage

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Once viewed as a highly touted prospect, it appeared as though it was a matter of if, not when, the Ukrainian would drape his shoulders with a world title. Ultimately, of course, while his career has experienced several highs, he's also undergone unfathomable lows.

They are banking that Derevy is up there in age, is shop worn because of his fights at the top level and will be fighting at a higher weight. If Munguia can't get him out he will have a hard time.

I don't think Derevyanchenko has much left in him. The wars took a toll on him if you ask me. He should be prime for taking out by Mungia.

This is a great style match up for fans, and for Munguia.

Don't see why they couldn't fight Carlos Adames, the guy who beat Derev instead.

Mungia vs Carlos Adames would have been so much more electrifying.

Absolutely.

He will probably be beating Munguia just like Kelly and Johnson were. But most llikely will get cut, or tko'd while standing in the middle/late rounds.
Jaimie is just one of those guys like Navarrete, despite the glaring defensive flaws, he's strong, and resilient soaking up punishment, and explosive with his offense. That being said anyone top 5 massacres him bloody. Which is why he's still fighting opponents like this all these years after battering Sadam Ali.

Munguia, Zhanibek, Charlo...all seem to be avoiding Adames. Who since losing at 154 has looked like a completely different animal.
I remember him giving Bud Crawford some great work in a sparring session some years ago.

Mainly because Munguia might not win that fight.
