wonderful match
Jacobs defense reminded me of Mayweather.
Dervyachenko has some defensive flaws but is rock solid.
I didn’t like Daniel turning from time to time too much his back with the referee saying nothing. Loma would find his way against this kind of obstruction technique which has been brought in boxing by Floyd and is, to me, not regular. Anyway I don’t want to take anything away from Jacobs who is a very very good fighter, still number 2 middleweight after Golovkin and has a style which could ko Canelo or, at least, put him in trouble.
Good fight, I didn’t think that it was that close of a fight coming into the 12th, but Danny definitely left some winnable rounds out there for Sergiy to steal. I also didn’t like the switching off and on to southpaw, not one of his strongest moves and really didn’t do much for him in the fight. I thought Sergiy was winded for the better part of the fight and could of been taken out earlier with a few more body shots, not sure why Danny and his team got away from that, but overall, it was definitely a good fight and the judges for the most part got it right.
Good fight but I disagree with Andrea when it comes to a Canelo-Jacobs fight. I think Canelo stops Jacobs somewhere between rounds 8-10. Canelo and Jacobs seem to be pretty much par on the boxing skills category but Canelo is clearly the heavier puncher of the 2.
good fight . had it a draw. Jacobs was counter punching but dervychenko work rate was high and he was landing scoring shots . heavier punches from Jacobs they both fought well with their styles. I wonder if Jacobs could bave gone on the front foot at various times a little bit more for a cleaner victory but he knows best as they are familiar with each other
Very good fight but in my opinion was almost a draw. The work was more intensive from Sergiy’s side who was the full time aggressor but Daniel defended himself very well with some good counterpunches very precisely connected. I guess the cards differences mainly shown that two of those judges pay a lot of attention to the very early knock down that occurred in the first round. Anyhow, no regrets about the result since it was difficult to score. However, I fully disagree with Lederman’s unofficial card which was quite far from reality.
