Jaime Munguía vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko Betting Analysis
Sergiy Derevyanchenko
Sergiy Derevyanchenko has some impressive experience on the grueling amateur circuit and in high-profile boxing matches. Including Carlos Adames at the Staples Center and Daniel Jacobs and Gennadiy Golovkin at Madison Square Garden.
However, Derevyanchenko lost those three fights by decision and overcame being dropped in the first round by Golovkin and Jacobs. Some people believe that Golovkin robbed Derevyanchenko in their title fight, which was a 2019 Fight of the Year candidate. Derevyanchenko is the seventh-ranked middleweight in the world and will not be an easy out for Munguía.
Derevyanchenko started his professional career with a 12-0 run after a successful 55-13 amateur career, where he was stopped twice. However, he has been durable in his professional career, despite going 2-4 in his last six fights.
Jaime Munguía
Some criticize how 26-year-old Jaime Munguia has built his record, especially early in his career. Over the past four years, Derevyanchenko has stayed active against the competition, winning ten fights since 2019. Yet, it’s important to our Munguía vs Derevyanchenko betting preview that Mungía is averaging 4.34 rounds per fight in his career and has an 80.49% knockout/stoppage rate.
The world’s fourth-ranked middleweight fighter, Munguía, is also the number-one Mexican-born fighter in the weight class. For a fight with Canelo Alvarez, Munguia would need to move up in weight.
Munguía will work behind his jab early to set up his sharp straight-right hand and will be wise to tie up Derevyanchenko and avoid any potential awkward shots from in-close that he was prone to against Coria when facing a tough, skilled, and durable veteran like Derevyanchenko.
