I guess this is a dangerous fighter for Golovkin indeed, After Drawing in his first fight with Canelo Alvarez and losing the second one I really think that he will have a very hard time with Derevyanchenko, Talk about getting bias here but that is how I see things and Derevyanchenko is durable in the ring he doesn't have blazing speed but he is not slow either.
Derevyenchenko got a formidable power but not that formidable and he is a guy that is not easy to be hit, I guess Golovkin is not so motivated in this fight not like what he has between a Canelo Alvarez fight, We might say that he is not motivational to win this so I guess we can see a Derevyanchenko win it might be a Unanimous Decision regarding the performance Derevyanchenko could give.
I checked Dereyvanchenko and I'm not impressed at all then I checked both of their fights against Jacobs and it seems Golovkin has the upper hand, about motivation I don't think so his motivation should be high he is coming from a lost and he needs to regain that belt again if he loses here, that's two in a row and might as well retire Golovkin is a fighter and he will do everything to win here.
Well, that is just what I think about GGG Golovkin, I have said that he is not motivated because in his first match with Canelo was a draw and the rematched have happened and on that rematch he then a loss to Canelo I guess a fight with Canelo will gain that confidence and motivation he just eager to get, Well this is just my theory with Golovkin, He may underestimate Derevyancheko and I am saying that Derevyanchenko might have a UN win against Golovkin because I am seeing Golovkin a better fighter than him.
And Golovkin is not intending to make this fight because he is still obsessed with beating up Canelo Alvarez Because he got some issues regarding that fight.
Canelo's not going to give him another shot immediately though. If GGG beats Derevyanchenko, which he most likely will, that should set up a hype for the third match with alvarez. Though golovkin for me is still very much an elite boxer, he's not getting any younger and would need to win more fights to boost his stock. So fights like this should be an advantage for him.
