00:00Receive my instructions in the dressing room, obey my commands, remember to protect yourselves always men.
00:09Touch gloves now, you're boxing at the bell. Good luck to both of you.
00:13Joe Tessitore and Tim Bradley with you. Bernardo Asuna, our ringside reporter.
00:18Mark Kriegel scoring the fight. This is the second fight in just 84 days for him, Billy,
00:24because the last time he was out, Timmy, don't take much away from it, he tore through Mark Heffron
00:29in the first round with a vicious left hook to the body that ended the fight.
00:41You know, I just wonder if Billy's going to stay true to who he is.
00:45Good right hand counter right there, he's boxing from the outside.
00:51And if the pace, is it going to be too much for Devryanchenko?
01:00Because once the fight breaks out, Tess, you know, these are fill-out rounds.
01:05Both guys on the terrain. And Billy is staying true to himself, this is exactly what Billy does.
01:12Close the distance, really fast.
01:14Devryanchenko right now, he's playing the smart role right now.
01:18He's not going to beat Billy punch for punch.
01:21He's going to have to make a miss, occasionally make him pay here and there,
01:25go down to the body like that, use his legs.
01:27He has to use his intelligence to beat this young guy.
01:32And Billy's got a lot on his plate.
01:34He's gonna have to make a miss,
01:36occasionally make him pay here and there,
01:37go down to the body like that, use his legs.
01:39He has to use his intelligence
01:42to beat this young, hungry, explosive fighter in him, Billy.
01:45And what he wants,
01:49he wants him to blow off some of that steam,
01:50some of that power.
01:52So he's using his legs.
01:53Now, can he move like that all night?
01:55No, he's gonna have to eventually stand there
01:56because he's gonna get tired, Tess.
02:00Definitely longer than two.
02:04Oh.
02:05It's a long-range right hand to the body.
02:07Tried to place it, went back with the left hand
02:09to the body as well.
02:12Did you see the legs give out a little bit right there
02:14from the trapeze?
02:15Yep.
02:18It'll be an indicator, Tess.
02:20Ooh, good body work right there from Billy.
02:34Comes right into the kitchen.
02:38Some right hands from Derevyanchenko.
02:41Step around him, Tess.
02:43Step around him.
02:45You can hear the corner saying,
02:46step around him, step around him.
02:49Working behind the jab, oh, that left hand
02:51right on the belt line.
02:53And Billy's a vicious body puncher.
02:56And that's gonna take the fight out of Derevyanchenko.
02:59He can't take the shot.
03:00Oh, that's a big right hand.
03:01What a shot.
03:03Big right hand came in from the undefeated M. Billy.
03:10M. Billy is boxing smart.
03:12Using his jab, stepping in behind,
03:16using that right hand over the top of a jab hand
03:20of Derevyanchenko.
03:22We're gonna take a short break at the end of this first round.
03:24When we come back, we will reveal
03:26what was the punch of the night on our undercard
03:28earlier tonight as M. Billy is off to a good start.
03:32Ooh.
03:43Punch of the night is brought to you by Miller Lite,
03:45and it's Abdullah Mason, who's now 15-0 with 13 knockouts.
03:50He got rid of Mike Owen.
03:51This is one of the most electrifying young talents
03:55of all of boxing right here.
03:58You see the speed, you see the accuracy,
04:00and you see that smile right there from Abdullah Mason.
04:02He is arguably the bluest of blue chips
04:05in the sport right now,
04:06Abdullah Mason, the lightweight prospect.
04:08Now, let's go back and show you
04:10this ricochet right hand from M. Billy.
04:14Starting off with a lead left hook right there
04:16from M. Billy, just flash the jab, coming around,
04:20and then just firing that right hand out the middle
04:22on Derevyanchenko.
04:23Derevyanchenko had his guards open
04:26to allow that shot to come in on him.
04:29Christian M. Billy threw 69 punches in the first round.
04:32That's a feel-it-out round for Christian M. Billy,
04:34throwing 69 punches.
04:35He landed 11 power shots.
04:37Man, the physical strength of M. Billy,
04:40that's something else.
04:41Physical strength.
04:42Every time he hits Derevyanchenko,
04:44he moves him about two feet to the left
04:46or two feet to the right.
04:47Right uppercut from Derevyanchenko,
04:49just touching him with it for a moment.
04:51Really getting a sense of what M. Billy
04:53is all about early on here.
04:55Chopping overhand right.
04:57Started to the body, then came upstairs.
05:00Derevyanchenko showing a little bit of movement.
05:02Remember, 2019, had that decision loss
05:04to Gennady Golovkin.
05:06Many feel he should have gotten a nod.
05:09Coming off a fight of the year-type performance
05:12a year ago against Jaime Munguia.
05:17Accurate right hand from Derevyanchenko there.
05:24Definitely, Derevyanchenko definitely
05:26have slowed down the pace of M. Billy.
05:27M. Billy is boxing from the outside.
05:31Definitely using his jab and sneaking right hands
05:34and going down to the body any time
05:35that Derevyanchenko sits still, like,
05:37along the ropes right there.
05:39This is where Derevyanchenko can't be.
05:41He can't be along those ropes.
05:43He got to keep his back off the ropes
05:45and keep himself in the center of the ring.
05:51That was the big theme in terms of their game plan.
05:54He said, those ropes, we're treating them
05:56like they're electric wires.
05:59Cannot be on the ropes.
06:16Derevyanchenko turns the corner,
06:18fights out of trouble, and back to the jab.
06:25And a left hand reigns in.
06:31More body work, and you can hear the thud.
06:33And another right hand.
06:35Man, they love this kid here in Quebec, don't they?
06:38This big crowd reacting to every power punch.
06:42Wow, sweeping right hand.
06:43He went for it, was off the mark.
06:46And the veteran back to the center of the ring
06:48where he needs to stay, has to get away from those ropes.
06:52And Billy, constant pressure, thudding shots
06:54to the body and the head.
06:56Derevyanchenko trying to fire back.
07:00Right hand to the body himself.
07:01Body shot.
07:23We've had huge action already here from Quebec City.
07:27This super middleweight showdown.
07:29And Timmy, the right hand of the undefeated Christian
07:32and Billy in that last round.
07:33Yes, anybody want a lesson on how to cut off the ring
07:36right here, just watch him, Billy.
07:37Fantastic.
07:39But that right hand high on the temple of Derevyanchenko
07:41definitely got his attention right there along those ropes.
07:45If he continues to land shots like this,
07:47this fight will not be over.
07:50This fight will not continue much longer.
07:58Nearly could come with that right hand again.
08:01Derevyanchenko has to get this fight back
08:03to the center of the ring.
08:06And we're listening in to Andre Rozier, his veteran trainer.
08:09He said, do not let him get off first with his punches.
08:13You want to know why he's getting off first?
08:15Because your back is on the frigging ropes.
08:18He was out of it, admonishing his charged Derevyanchenko.
08:21No, stop, stop!
08:23No.
08:24Box.
08:26And Billy is just bigger, he's stronger, he's busier.
08:30His shots are a lot harder.
08:31He's breaking down Derevyanchenko physically.
08:36But not mentally yet, Tess, not mentally yet.
08:38No, no.
08:39Yeah, yeah.
08:40Don't push him.
08:42Don't push him.
08:45One thing's for sure, Derevyanchenko's
08:46gonna give you whatever he has left in the tank.
08:50Two-punch combination from Derevyanchenko.
08:54And Billy, oh, with a sweeping hook and a follow right.
08:58Right uppercut on the inside from Derevyanchenko.
09:02That's a good fight early on, isn't it, Timmy?
09:03Yes, it is.
09:06Starting to become a more mid-range
09:09to inside type of fight.
09:11Punches become shorter at this range.
09:16Derevyanchenko, you heard his corner, said,
09:18there you go, do it again, just touch him.
09:19One, two, just touch him.
09:20But how do you keep him off of him like that?
09:23Digging to the body with a right hand was Mbili.
09:32Watch your heads, guys.
09:38Right uppercut from Derevyanchenko.
09:39Overhand right comes back from Mbili.
09:47That uppercut is there all night.
09:49What Mbili does, he'll shoot the single jab,
09:51and then he'll drop his level.
09:53And that head is out in front.
09:54It's there.
10:03See if Derevyanchenko can come back to it.
10:07He's right of his own.
10:09Look, we're seeing some nuances coming from Mbili.
10:12That's a good combination right there.
10:14Finish to the body with the left hand
10:16and still Mbili always on the attack.
10:19Clubbing right hand.
10:21A warning to the back of his head, left hook on the inside.
10:23Man, oh, man, is this a good fight.
10:27Big right hand from Mbili, then he digs down.
10:29Final seconds of round three as he tries
10:31to go to the body again.
10:45Center, Quebec City, because we got ourselves a banger.
10:50Sergei Derevyanchenko and Christian Mbili
10:53through three rounds.
10:55Derevyanchenko has landed 32 power punches,
10:57and Mbili's landed 43.
11:00That last round, Derevyanchenko found himself
11:02a little bit 18 to 66 overall.
11:04There are the power punches landed by round.
11:07Number one super middleweight contender in the world
11:10is Mbili, three-time world title challenger,
11:13is Derevyanchenko.
11:16Bernardo, what can you tell us about the corner of Sergei?
11:19Well, Tim Bradley noticed something
11:21with the right bicep of Derevyanchenko.
11:24I spoke with Andre Ruggiero.
11:25He says, look, there is something bothering him,
11:28nothing pre-fight, but he's fighting through it.
11:31Tim, what do you see?
11:33Right hand comes in from Mbili.
11:37What I see is maybe a bruise.
11:40What I see is maybe a bruise from a shot.
11:44Those body shots that Mbili are throwing are vicious.
11:48Could bruise the bicep.
11:51Could bruise the bicep there.
11:54Well, you know what? It looks a bit short in the test.
11:58You know, I don't want to make any assumptions.
12:00I don't know if it's...
12:02Derevyanchenko wrapping around that right hand to the body
12:04pretty well around that left elbow.
12:09Mbili missing wildly with the left hook.
12:12Derevyanchenko turns, takes the angle.
12:17Don't push him.
12:18Tess, he just used that right hand.
12:20Yeah, he's not throwing the left hand.
12:21That finally throws it.
12:23Look at the left arm. Look at it.
12:27Tess, I think he might have tore that bicep.
12:29Oh, you can see it balled up.
12:30Yes.
12:32We're going to monitor that, but you can see a difference
12:34between the left bicep and the right bicep.
12:36Tess, he's boxing with one hand right now, Tess,
12:40and having a great round.
12:41Okay, so if you look at the left bicep,
12:43it also goes to show that he's not throwing his jab,
12:46and he's almost a one-armed fighter
12:48here in round number four.
12:50Short right hand comes over the top.
12:52He tore his bicep, Tess.
12:54Listen, we are not doctors,
12:55but we have a lot of experience ringside.
12:57We've seen this injury before.
12:59Eric Harding had it years ago against Roy Jones Jr.
13:01down in New Orleans in a fight
13:02that he was very competitive in,
13:04and you see a similar injury,
13:06at least to our eye, of that left bicep
13:09balling up towards the shoulder
13:14and the lack of use of that left hand.
13:16Tess, this is mental toughness.
13:19At his absolute best right here.
13:22One hand.
13:24This is being a pro right here.
13:28He's fighting with one hand,
13:30and he's having a great round.
13:34Final moments of round number four.
13:37A much-compromised Sergei Derevyanchenko.
13:44Beautiful.
13:45Take a deep breath, relax.
13:47Hey, ref!
13:48I saw it.
13:51That was good, Sergei,
13:53but don't roll out and stay there.
13:56Every time you make a miss,
13:57you got to capitalize and turn that shot.
14:00Okay?
14:01You're doing a good job.
14:02Listen. Listen to me.
14:03He's tired.
14:04He's getting tired.
14:05All right?
14:06You bone it up and keep moving.
14:08The game is to move and strike.
14:10Move and strike.
14:11Serge, can you throw your hook?
14:13Okay.
14:14Okay.
14:15Overhand right, under and over.
14:16Steer hard.
14:17But keep it up, though.
14:18Don't keep it up.
14:19Don't get hit with this stupid overhand right.
14:21Good round, though.
14:23Let's work.
14:24You got it. How you feel?
14:25He's tired, Sergei.
14:26He's getting tired.
14:27He's getting tired.
14:28He's getting tired.
14:29He's tired, Sergei.
14:30He's getting tired, baby.
14:32Touch his body.
14:33Touch his body.
14:34Aga. Aga.
14:35And then up the middle.
14:36Let's go.
14:37This is unbelievable.
14:38Right.
14:39And don't let him get you on those ropes.
14:41Stay in the middle.
14:42Beautiful round.
14:43Ready for the bell, guys.
14:44Ready for the bell.
14:45Okay.
14:46Let's talk about what we just heard
14:47and what we just witnessed
14:49in the corner of Sergei Derevyanchenko.
14:51Don't wait in front of him.
14:52They were asking him what he could do with the left hand.
14:55They were applying the ice directly onto that.
14:59Clearly injured left bicep.
15:01Asking him, can you throw at least the left hook?
15:04You have to keep it up.
15:05You have to be defensive with it.
15:07Don't let him come over the top
15:09with the right hand with it.
15:12Now, let's go to Mark Kriegel
15:14and see how he scores it to this point.
15:1639-37, three rounds to one.
15:21Christian and Billy, he's younger, he's stronger.
15:23He hits like a mule.
15:24It's like stopping the tide for Derevyanchenko.
15:26But that fourth round, winning it.
15:28With one arm was a masterpiece.
15:31I think that arm, that injury with that arm
15:34has done Derevyanchenko some good.
15:37He's winning this.
15:38I'm telling you, he's dominating this round right now
15:41with just the one hand, with the right hand.
15:47And then Billy is having to think for the first time
15:50in his career.
15:51He slowed down the pace of him, Billy.
15:59Experience matters.
16:01Derevyanchenko has it.
16:04This is brilliant stuff.
16:05And then against A-level guys.
16:07Fought for the world title three times.
16:09Has the amateur pedigree as a 2008 Olympian for Ukraine.
16:25Nice shot right there from Billy.
16:27Due to the body one up top.
16:28You stay along those ropes.
16:31And Billy will find his mark.
16:32Man, he's so explosive with them shots.
16:34Yes.
16:35Right uppercut.
16:36He is dynamic and explosive.
16:38Viper-like strikes.
16:39Yes.
16:40But Sudden Glows with that speed.
16:45Again, look at that stance.
16:46It's squared up on the inside.
16:49Allows him to shorten those shots up
16:50and be very explosive without
16:53telegraphing those punches.
16:54Good body shot.
16:55Now he gets in that corner.
16:57This is where Sergei cannot be.
16:59That left hand was right on the belt line.
17:01Shook his head.
17:02You know what that means.
17:06Uppercut from Sergei.
17:08Don't push him, Sergei.
17:09He's never been stopped.
17:13Oh, that was a right hand
17:15when the referee, Michael Griffin,
17:16was coming around the back.
17:17He placed that right hand
17:18right on the belt line himself.
17:20Hmm.
17:25Then gives his...
17:27When do you think
17:29that Dembile's gonna figure that out?
17:31That he only has one arm,
17:33one hand that he's using.
17:39And just go for it.
17:42Pour it on him. Take more risk.
17:45Ooh, what a shot.
17:47Did you hear that?
17:48Oh, he's got it.
18:02These right hands from Dembile
18:04are deadly.
18:05They coming from everywhere.
18:06Straight right hands.
18:09Looping right hands over the jab
18:11of Devoranchenko.
18:15Just turn him...
18:16Turning him over
18:17for where he's positioned.
18:18Tests.
18:19That's a talent,
18:21to be able to shoot shots,
18:22short shots like that,
18:23long shots,
18:24from the position,
18:25especially the foot positioning
18:26that he's in most of the time,
18:28which is from the squared-up position.
18:31Fourth round,
18:32very noticeable injury
18:33to the left arm of Devoranchenko.
18:35And yet, he has fought on.
18:38And in that
18:39last exchange in the corner
18:41between Christian Milley
18:42and his veteran trainer, Mark Ramsey,
18:43he said,
18:44go ahead and hit it.
18:45Target the arm.
18:46They know now.
18:47Break! No punches!
18:48Break, let him go.
18:49And that should embolden
18:52and build him.
18:54He should get a lot more physical
18:56now
18:57and let those hands go.
18:58Take more chances.
19:02Body shot,
19:03head shot.
19:04Ramchenko back against the ropes
19:06against a vicious power puncher.
19:16How much longer can Devoranchenko
19:18continue to take these shots,
19:20just down to the body,
19:22fight with one hand?
19:23I mean,
19:25he's showing tremendous heart
19:26and determination.
19:27He knows that this could be
19:28his last opportunity
19:30to get a shot at the World Championship.
19:32And he's handicapped.
19:34I think undoubtedly it is.
19:36I think he views it as he's got a good
19:3818 months to two years
19:40to give it a go.
19:41You come up to the end,
19:42he's got a shot.
19:43He's got a shot.
19:44He's got a shot.
19:45You come up to this weight class
19:47where underneath Canelo
19:48there's the ability to have some movement
19:50to get into
19:52high-ranking status
19:53in the rankings
19:54of the Alphabet Soup organizations,
19:56although I don't know that Canelo
19:57really cares about those.
20:04Devoranchenko probably won
20:05a couple of rounds,
20:06one or two rounds, however,
20:07and Billy has been pouring it on.
20:11And he's finishing the round strong
20:13with his pressure.
20:14Now he's found his mark.
20:15He's also throwing the kind of punches.
20:17There's a warning there.
20:18Get the punches up.
20:19And Billy also throws the kind of punches
20:22that even if you block them,
20:24he's doing damage.
20:25Yes.
20:26So much weight on him, Tess.
20:28Anything that lands on the arms
20:30and shoulders takes a lot out of him.
20:32Come on, punches up, guys.
20:35Oh, good right hand.
20:37Yeah, you see those legs.
20:38Devoranchenko's off balance.
20:42Now going straight back.
20:43Oh, it's a short right hand
20:44from Mbile.
20:48Devoranchenko trying to stand
20:50right up to it.
20:51Mbile goes underneath
20:52with another right hand
20:53to the body.
20:58Probing behind that jab.
20:59As he inches forward,
21:00chops with another right hand.
21:03Goes underneath to the body.
21:07And Tess, he's not gonna get time.
21:09Listen to the punches of Mbile.
21:11He's not gonna get time.
21:14Ramsey said he has the best condition
21:15that he's ever seen in any fighter
21:18in 30 years.
21:20We'll talk about that more
21:21when we get to the seventh round.
21:30You all right, champ?
21:38He turned it underneath
21:40and over the top.
21:43Beautiful shot right there.
21:46By Mbile.
21:49We want to show you
21:50the big story of the fight,
21:51and that's this in the fourth round.
21:53Watch the left bicep.
21:59That is amazing work
22:00by the guys in the production truck.
22:03Oh, wow.
22:06You actually saw the bicep
22:08curl up into his arm at that point.
22:11That's amazing.
22:13Just superb work by the guys
22:15in the production truck
22:16with the overhead
22:17and to find that moment in the fight
22:21where you see the injury
22:22to the left bicep actually take place.
22:26That's amazing.
22:28Joe Tessitore and Tim Bradley
22:29on the call with you.
22:30Bernardo Osuna in the corners.
22:31Mark Kregel scoring at round number seven.
22:34Undefeated Christian Billy
22:36trying to stay that way.
22:37Three-time world title challenger
22:39Sergei Derevyanchenko
22:41trying to overcome the injury
22:42trying to have one last climb up the mountain,
22:44but he has been taking damage from him, Billy.
22:49Tess, I love warriors.
22:51I love Derevyanchenko.
22:53I love what he means to the sport.
22:56You know, this is hard to watch.
23:02Very hard to watch.
23:04And, you know, being in this corner,
23:07if I was in this corner right now,
23:08I would look out for him.
23:12I would let him live to fight another day.
23:15Tess, because...
23:18Oh, balance!
23:20And he went to the body
23:21as he turned in Billy around.
23:24And now he's on the attack.
23:25Did he just hurt him?
23:27Right hand after right hand.
23:30Did he just hurt him, Tess?
23:31Spun around, went to the body,
23:32and then reigning in right hands
23:34is Derevyanchenko.
23:36Oh, he...
23:37He can get this turnaround in round seven.
23:39Don't push him! Don't push him!
23:40After being battered,
23:43dealing with the injury,
23:44he turns it around against M. Billy
23:46here in round seven,
23:47and now M. Billy gathers himself again
23:49and fires back.
23:52And I don't know,
23:54in the midst of that exchange,
23:56if M. Billy's glove
23:57didn't touch the canvas.
24:01And if a punch landed
24:03and then the glove touched,
24:05it should have been scored a knockdown.
24:07It should have been scored a knockdown.
24:08It should have been scored a knockdown.
24:11We will take a look back.
24:12And Billy right back in the kitchen,
24:15pressing the action,
24:16right back to business.
24:20Short left hook,
24:22chopping right hand back to the body again.
24:24Thudding shot,
24:25goes up top,
24:26two-punch combination.
24:27Now on the attack.
24:28Chopping down with the right hand.
24:31Come on, Tess.
24:33It's getting bad in there.
24:34Warning for Michael Griffin.
24:36Short right uppercut on the inside,
24:37Derevyanchenko.
24:38Heck of a round here,
24:39round number seven.
24:40The kind of fight
24:42everybody circled this date for.
24:56Can see pronounced swelling and bruising
24:58around the eyes of Derevyanchenko.
25:08Don't push him.
25:12We're going to take a short break,
25:13but we're going to give you the tube box
25:14so you can watch all the replays
25:16of all the great action that just happened.
25:23Oh, big right hand.
25:25And another one is in trouble.
25:32Come on.
25:38Come on.
25:54We got a lot to clean up
25:55after that wild seventh round.
25:56Let's go back and show you the punch
25:59that caused the early action.
26:01Watch where this lands.
26:02There's low blows
26:03and then there's quad blows.
26:05That punch was down to his quads.
26:07His lower thigh
26:08and it nearly hyperextends back
26:10the left leg of Mbili.
26:11So that's why the glove goes down.
26:13Then the late rally by Mbili.
26:15Absolutely wild seventh round.
26:17Mbili landed 25 power punches in that round.
26:21Round number eight now.
26:26The legs are completely gone, Tess.
26:28You can say that that's a slip,
26:30but watch out here, folks.
26:31The legs are gone, Tess.
26:32Mbili knows it, too.
26:33Legs are gone.
26:34Derevyanchenko's never been stopped.
26:36All the great fighters he's fought,
26:37he's never been stopped,
26:38but he looks damaged here.
26:40But, Tess, he's fighting with one hand, Tess.
26:42Short right hand.
26:44Sweeping shots.
26:48He's literally handicapped.
26:50Bernardo, what are they saying
26:51in the corner of Derevyanchenko?
26:53Andre Rojira told me,
26:54look, he's a one-handed fighter.
26:56He's putting on a valiant effort,
26:57but if he takes too much punishment,
26:59I will stop this.
27:00Yeah, I think he's on the brink
27:01of that right now, isn't he?
27:02Round number eight.
27:04Watch your head, Tess.
27:05There is Dre.
27:07Veteran good guy of the sport.
27:10Sergei Derevyanchenko's trainer.
27:13Tie him up!
27:14Tie him up!
27:17Mbili's stalking, trying to corner him.
27:19There's a right hand to the body.
27:22And another one.
27:23But he's hitting that left bicep as well, Timmy.
27:25He's definitely going for it, Tess.
27:27That's a smart thing to do.
27:29Sweeping left hand.
27:30Oh, he's off balance.
27:31Over a minute to go here in round number eight.
27:35Christian Mbili, in recent years,
27:37one of the rising stars,
27:38one of the rising, exciting,
27:39power-punching, volume-attacking,
27:42relentless offensive forces.
27:46Number one contender at 168 pounds.
27:51Look at the legs of Derevyanchenko.
27:53Tess, Tess, he was out.
27:54He was definitely outweighed.
27:56He was definitely outweighed.
27:58The older fighter.
27:59Been through a whole lot of wars, Tess.
28:02Like, it's not worth it, Tess, I'm telling you.
28:05It's not worth it for him to be in that,
28:07still in this fight, handicapped the way he is.
28:10Somebody needed to get in there
28:11and save Derevyanchenko from himself.
28:14Because he's not going to stop, Tess.
28:15Oh, and swinging for the fences is Mbili.
28:18Well, we will listen in and see what happens
28:20in the corner of Derevyanchenko.
28:23He has taken 136 power punches of damage to this point.
28:28To the beltline and a big right hand up top.
28:31Three-punch combination from Mbili.
28:38And in that corner, Mbili's ripping away
28:41from these home fans in Quebec.
28:43And Mbili's got the right hand.
28:45And he's got the right hand.
28:46He's got the right hand.
28:47He's got the right hand.
28:48He's got the right hand.
28:49He's got the right hand.
28:50He's got the right hand.
28:51He's got the right hand.
28:52He's got the right hand.
28:54And final seconds of the eighth round.
29:00What kind of decision will be made here?
29:03Let's listen in.
29:08How you feel, champ?
29:10You got 9 and 10.
29:11How do you feel?
29:13How do you feel?
29:16You sure?
29:17You sure?
29:18Can you operate?
29:20If you can't operate with the one hand,
29:22but you cannot lay there and wait for him.
29:25I don't care if you walk the ring and bounce this,
29:28but don't stand there letting him hit you.
29:30You hear me?
29:35Don't stand there letting him hit you.
29:38How do you feel bro?
29:39Good, good.
29:40You want me to stop you?
29:41Please.
29:42What's your feeling right now?
29:43Please.
29:44I can't let you get hurt.
29:46You're going to watch me.
29:47If you're not going to show up,
29:48I'm going to tell on you.
29:50Come here.
29:51What's your name?
29:52How do you feel Sergei?
29:54Do you think you can touch him up with that one?
29:58I'm asking you.
30:00Do you think you can work with that one hand?
30:03I'll give him one more.
30:04I'll give him one more.
30:05I'll stop him if I see anything big.
30:06Come on.
30:07All right, so Dre says,
30:08I'm going to give him one more.
30:09It wasn't the most confident exchange.
30:13Numerous times saying, are you sure?
30:15Are you sure?
30:16He's going to give him one more round.
30:18Here it is, the ninth round.
30:22Christian and Billy in complete control now.
30:27Tess, he needs a knockout to win the fight.
30:30Think about that.
30:31A knockout to win this fight.
30:33Why continue to allow him to take punishment?
30:35And he only has one good arm.
30:40Bernardo.
30:41Yeah, Gary Stark looked over at Rina,
30:43who is Sergei's wife,
30:45and they kind of were on agreement
30:47that this fight should be done,
30:48but Andre Rogier, at the behest of Sergei,
30:50is going to give him one more round.
30:57I don't agree with that, Tess.
30:58And Billy digging to the body again.
31:05Right hands.
31:07A man who nearly toppled Triple G.
31:10Many felt he did.
31:12A guy who's fought for the title three times.
31:15A guy who a year ago in Dereviachenko,
31:17he was in the fight of the year,
31:18and this is the harsh reality of the sport.
31:21His wife, Rina, can barely look up
31:23to see what is happening to her husband, Tim.
31:28Your family knows the harsh realities
31:30of the damage that's done.
31:31You were in one of the most brutal fights
31:32that the sport has seen in the last generation.
31:38So going back to the locker rooms
31:39and badging it up and coming out
31:41and injecting something in it,
31:43this is the hurt business.
31:46You gotta fight through things like this.
31:49But, there's also, I believe the trainer
31:51has a duty to protect the fighter.
31:54That's the trainer's job.
31:55You can't ask a fighter, a warrior,
31:57like Derevianchenko, can you go, can you go?
32:00Of course he's gonna say yes.
32:02A real fighter won't say no, Tess.
32:05They will not.
32:09And I love Rogier, I love him to death,
32:11but I think he's making a mistake tonight.
32:14Billy staying right in front of Derevianchenko,
32:18a man who he has gotten the best of.
32:20Showed you that incredible angle
32:24of what happened to the left bicep
32:25at the end of the fourth round,
32:26when it just rolled up.
32:30And then Billy's been rolling on.
32:31Still some moments from Derevianchenko
32:34that were impressive in the middle rounds
32:35to fight with one hand,
32:37but he has not been able to stop
32:40the constant onslaught and attack
32:42of the undefeated Canadian Christian and Billy.
32:45Oh, a left hook sends him back.
32:49And a thudding right hand from the range.
32:51You could hear the damage that time.
32:57And Billy chopping down with both a left and a right.
33:02Final seconds of the ninth round,
33:05and what will likely be the final seconds
33:08of Derevianchenko at this level of the sport.
33:12Go.
33:14Disgusting.
33:17That was good.
33:18You only gave up a few more shots,
33:20and you shouldn't have.
33:21Stop waiting for him and walk the ring.
33:25That's when he can't touch you.
33:27All right, where's the water?
33:29You got one more round.
33:31Be a technician.
33:32Box your way through this, you hear me?
33:35Don't lay on the rope.
33:36What I don't want you to do.
33:39Don't lay on the rope.
33:40Water, where's the water at?
33:43Quit, quit.
33:49Yo, could you use your back away at least one or twice?
33:52Huh?
33:54Don't worry about me, I've got a good technique.
33:57I can double my right hand.
33:58Yeah, yeah.
33:59You're on that side.
34:00Look, you can't walk like that.
34:02No, I'm jumping so I can do it like I need to.
34:04Come on.
34:05Come on, champ.
34:09Derevianchenko is so beaten down,
34:13is so exhausted,
34:15is so battered that he was not even talking to his corner
34:19during that exchange when he was told by André Rogier,
34:23be a technician.
34:24They want to give him the chance.
34:26They feel like he earned the right
34:28to make it to the final bell,
34:30but he has taken serious damage, as you can see.
34:34What do you gain from the test?
34:35What do you gain from it?
34:36Let me ask you this.
34:37Do you believe that he has any chance of scoring
34:41a jackpot lottery knockout win here?
34:44No, no.
34:45Because that's what you have to assess.
34:46No, he's hit him with his best shot.
34:48No, he hasn't hurt him.
34:50Stop the fight.
34:51Let this man go home
34:52with the little sense that he has.
34:55One, two, go home to his family, kids, wife.
35:00That's your job.
35:00Protect the fighter.
35:01I want you to stay in a left hook.
35:04I will say this, Timmy.
35:05He's 38 years old, Tess, a lot more.
35:07He's going back on those weak legs.
35:08He did bring up the fact he is a Ukrainian.
35:11He's from Ukraine.
35:12He lives in New York.
35:12He's been there as a pro.
35:14He said, everything my country's been going through,
35:16I will represent that country.
35:18He is eating huge shots here.
35:20And Billy on the attack.
35:22Jumping lefts and rights as well as body punches.
35:25Let's go, let's go, let's go.
35:27Still a lot of time to go here in round 10.
35:29And Billy, look at this.
35:32He goes down to the body and then up top with a right hand.
35:35And another right hand up top.
35:38Tess, we know how tough Debron Sango is.
35:40We understand how tough he is.
35:43But why take this punishment?
35:45It just doesn't add up to me.
35:47He's 38 years old.
35:48With an injured left hand.
35:49Yes.
35:50With one arm.
35:51He needs a knockout to win.
35:54What is it, pride?
35:55Are we fighting for pride?
35:57Oh, he's standing on his feet.
35:58At least he stayed up with one hand.
35:59No, that's not what it's about.
36:02He can't win this fight.
36:03He needs a knockout right now.
36:05And Billy trying to corner him here.
36:08Final minute coming up around 10.
36:10And Billy, he's got a lot of power.
36:13Final minute coming up around 10.
36:15Chomping down with a right hand.
36:17Derevyanchenko circling to his right.
36:20And, oh, big uppercut.
36:22And Billy on the attack.
36:23Big uppercut as Derevyanchenko has to tie up.
36:33And Billy, big right hand thudding down.
36:39Don't push his head down.
36:44Derevyanchenko, half a minute away
36:46to making it to the final bell.
36:47Never been stopped in his career.
36:50Right uppercut was just glancing.
36:52Big short right hand on the inside from him.
36:54Billy goes to the body.
36:56Up top, Derevyanchenko fighting back somehow
36:59in these late stages.
37:05Throwing punches, exchanging with the dangerous
37:08and Billy here down the stretch.
37:11Big right hand that he ate.
37:13I mean, this is brutal stuff.
37:15And somehow this game Ukrainian is showing this level
37:19of pride being beaten down.
37:22I love Derevyanchenko.
37:23Folks, this game is just different.
37:26You don't play boxing.
37:28That's the hurt business right there.
37:31Pure, pure hurt.
37:33I tip my hat off to Derevyanchenko.
37:36I really do.
37:42Top rank boxing on ESPN is presented by AutoZone.

38:03Oh, the brutality.
38:28We will be back in a moment.
38:53Stan and Linda, thank you very much.
38:55Look forward to hearing everything on SportsCenter
38:58in just a moment.
38:59Let's go through, Timmy, and show you the highlights
39:02on a fight where Christian Mbile and Derevyanchenko,
39:05they delivered on what we thought it was the injury
39:07that changed the course for Derevyanchenko
39:09and the constant attack of Mbile.
39:11You know what, Mbile showed me tonight
39:14that he's the real deal.
39:16He was able to make adjustments throughout the fight.
39:18You know, he showed me nuances that I was waiting to see.
39:23He showed experience. He showed ring IQ.
39:25He showed a great punch selection.
39:28His conditioning was through the roof, Tess.
39:30Oh, they always rave about that.
39:31World-class. His stamina is through the roof.
39:34Mbile is somebody that you want to watch.
39:37You want to watch him closely,
39:39because I'm telling you right now,
39:42people in this division, the super middleweight division,
39:45they're going to run from Mbile.
39:47He's that guy.
39:49He's that dang strong.
39:51And Canelo, I believe he's going to stay far away from him,
39:55Joe Tessitore.
39:56By the way, Derevyanchenko, who has fought,
39:59as you know, everybody from Triple G to Charlo,
40:02Munguia, Danny Jacobs, you name it,
40:05the 193 power punches landed by Christian Mbile,
40:09the most that anybody's ever landed against Derevyanchenko.
40:14And after everything you just said,
40:16Canelo's going to fight Edgar Berlanga next.
40:18Yep. Come on with it. Stop it.
40:20Mark Kriegel, what do you got?
40:2299-91, nine rounds to one.
40:26Derevyanchenko is the dead-shattiest guy.
40:28He speaks in broken English,
40:30but that final sequence he delivered was a poem,
40:33an extraordinary display of courage,
40:36technique, and survival.
40:38Now we'll have to figure out what was the cost.
40:40All right, let's go up to the ring to Mark Chouinard.
40:43After 10 rounds here inside the Videotron Center,
40:46we go to the judges' scorecards for the official decision.
40:50Efren Lebrun scores it 100-90.
40:53Steve Weisfeld has it 99-91.
40:56And Pasquale Procopio has it 98-92
41:00for your winner by unanimous decision.
41:03And still, the judges have to decide
41:07who will be the winner of the Videotron Center.
41:10And still, the WBA International
41:14and WBC Continental America
41:17super middleweight champ,
41:19Christian Solin-Emeli.
41:24He's 28-0. We're gonna hear from him
41:26on the state of boxing on the ESPN app.
