0 comments by on 9/26/2020

It had the look early on in Jermall Charlo versus Sergiy Derevyanchenko Saturday night brawl like Derevyanchenko was just straight made for Charlo. A natural counterpuncher loves an aggressive, hard-charging, easy to hit target. Charlo’s best punch is an uppercut, and Derevyanchenko is about as tiny a fella as you’ll see in the middleweight division, […]

But these are […]

Frank Galarza exploded for a knockout Friday on ShoBox, while two newish pro Ukrainian fighters had comparatively different wins on Showtime’s prospect-oriented program. Galarza (pictured above, via @shosports) has shown a knack for sudden knockouts on ShoBox, having pulled a similar trick to start 2014.
