Comments Thread For: Christian Mbilli outpoints brave Sergiy Derevyanchenko in step up

Sergiy tough as nails. Hurt Mbilli a couple times which was surprising.

I hope he retires after this fight. Guy is a fan favorite and a true warrior.

Man! If Derevyanchenko, hadn't hurt his left bicep he might have beaten, or drawn with Mbilli who hit him with everything he had, and still couldn't stop him!

Mbilli did beat derev convincingly doe just couldn't knock him out... but hey, no one has been able to stop the guy tbf.

Yes, he did beat him. I meant he couldn't stop him, let alone drop him. He was throwing bombs all fight long, then puts an icepack on his shoulder, saying it was hurt early on.

I expected Mbilli not to stop Derevyanchenko. Remember that Golovkin, Adames, Charlo, and Munguía couldn't stop him either. Doesn't necessarily mean that Mbilli doesn't have power, since Derevyanchenko is a very hard man to stop.

That's not only because Derevyanchenko is tough, it's also because he's very good and fights with both hands. In this fight, he lost his left arm in the fourth round, yet Mbilli still could not even drop him.

You beat me to it. I’d like to see him retire before he accumulates too much damage. He’s got nothing left to prove. Very tough break in this fight to lose the use of an arm, but the man has no reverse gear in his transmission, and he goes out on his shield.

He can't. He probably needs a few more checks.

Anyone who did not watch the fight would be forgiven for thinking that Mbilli was lucky to come away with the victory based on most of the comments here. Good thing i watched it. Lets just ignore the fact that by the 7th round Andre Rozier and the Sergiy corner were contemplating stopping the fight!! Why. Simply because Sergiy was enduring the worse beat down he had ever taken and it was becoming sickening to watch. Hope he got paid good money for the assault he endured. Good mature performance from Mbilli who is still evolving as a complete fighter. Just saying.

He will never be a complete fighter. He's almost 30 and doesn't seem intelligent enough to realize that he needs to improve his balance and footwork. Canelo is licking his chops. Another James Kirkland KOTY.

Kirkland was a SHOT fighter when Canelo fought him!!
Who is next on Canelo's menu....Edgar f!!!ing Berlanga!!!
I like Canelo but until he fights Benavidez you all can keep paying to watch his "Bum of the month" shameless money grab while holding the belts hostage.

Mbilli is doing just fine with what he has which was enough to beat up Sergiy almost forcing the hand of his corner to stop it.
Same fighter that Jaime Mungaia went life and death with!!!


....oh and Bivol is still waiting for his rematch!!

Bivol washed Canelo. He doesn't need Canelo. Canelo needs him if legacy matters. Canelo should stop Berlanga in 7 or 8.
