Former world champion Jaime Munguia (41-0, 32 KOs) and Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko (14-4, 10 KOs) hosted their final press conference Thursday at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. They collide on DAZN Saturday night in 12-round super middleweight fight for the WBC silver title.
Jaime Munguia: “Without a doubt, this is the toughest fight of my career. This will be a great fight, a great war. I trained really hard for this event, and this fight will be exciting with many punches and Arriba Mexico!”
Sergiy Derevyanchenko: “I do not worry about Munguia or his team overlooking me. That is a problem for Munguia and his team; that’s their problem, not mine. I am focused on the fight, so on Saturday, we will see.”
Mungia’s people (De la ahoya etc) taking a calculated risk finally. Seems like Derevyanchenko is too old and shop worn ie just right for Mungia. It will be interesting to find out if they are wrong because an 85% prime Derevyanchenko is probably enough to beat Mungia. Let’s see what this hype job can job can do.
Even if Sergiy Derevyanchenko wins a decision the judges will still give it to the baby protected Munguia. Sergiy needs to break him apart and tear him apart to win it…
Yep, ask Denis Hogan, absolutely robbed the poor bloke they did.
more of the same golden boy set ups . i saw the press conference , with just a lot of lies and spins on how no champion wants to face mungia. they think the fans are stupid . i hope segiv wins but he might be too worn out at this point.
Always fighting way smaller or older mens.. Look at the size difference, Sergiy can’t win this one.. Munguia could easily move up two weight classes without being the small guy !
When does Munguia fight somebody with a pulse?
Jaime should be the first to stop Derevyanchenko, who is as tough as nails but shop-worn.
Munguia will stop Chenko within 7 rounds, therefore, all you haters out there that think the judges will favor Munguia can be at ease. Judges will not be needed.
