Andre Rozier, coach of the former contender for the Ukrainian middleweight title Sergei Derevyanchenko, commented on the outcome of the fight between his ward and the Mexican Jaime Munguia.
“The plan for the battle was carried out until the moment when Sergey was knocked down. Yes, Munguia caught him. Yet Derevyanchenko did take many rounds. It was a fantastic and very close fight, but there is no doubt that my protagonist is the winner.
I am very proud of Sergey. Throughout his career, he had nothing but hardships. We do not support the referee's decision, because this is not what we would like. Nevertheless, Derevyanchenko is the people's champion. I'm really proud of him, ”Rosier is quoted by BoxingScene.
Recall that Munguia and Derevyanchenko fought on June 10 in Ontario, California, USA. The Mexican won by unanimous decision.
