Michael WoodsHours away, we will see GGG seek to show that at 37 he hasn't lost a step, and can still handle a legit tough out, in Sergey Derevyanchenko with the same power and precision we've all seen in years past. The Kazakh standout will be showing an arsenal that will perhaps show some tweaks in the game, as trainer Jonathan Banks says he wants him moving more, the better to get into a concussive rhythm.
We wonder…could Derevyanchenko mess up the best laid plans of GGG and DAZN and spring another Garden upset special, have us flashing back to June 1, when Andy Ruiz made jaws drops with a stoppage win over Anthony Joshua?
I asked of the NYF Squad, gang, who thinks Derevyanchenko can upset GGG?
What about youse all…who is picking Derevyanchenko to down GGG?
