GGG is 39-1-1 with 35 KO’s. His only loss and draw were disputed decisions to teak-tough Canelo Alvarez. GGG stays on the outside and prefers to control fights with a strong, probing and accurate jab. His defense is respectable including a iron chin and excellent head movement. GGG is a very accurate puncher with big power in each hand. Once he gets an opponent in trouble, he’s very patient and surgically works to the body then the head. He prefers to move forward at all times and has a bad habit of hunching over and not “fighting tall.”
Derevyanchenko is 13-1 with 10 KO’s. His nickname is “The Technician” and I’m sure who gave him that name since it doesn’t describe his rugged, “fight on the inside at all costs” style. He has an extremely high level of fitness as he continually throws punches throughout the fight. He has an accurate but not powerful jab. He wants to move forward and is a basic 1,2 and repeat, puncher. Good chin and foot movement but sticks his head out unprotected after he punches, leaving him vulnerable to counters. He was knocked down when fighting Daniel Jacobs and had significant facial damage after his last fight vs. Jack Culcay.
Prediction:
Expect a rough fight. Derevyanchenko will try to impose his will by fighting on the inside and turning the fight into a brawl. GGG is a cool customer and will try to control the fight from the outside. Derevyanchenko has a very good chin but gets caught flush rather easily. I envision Derevyanchenko getting frustrated later in the fight and stopped due to an accumulation of punches. I like GGG to win by TKO very late in the fight.
