Well, Boyd was a beta, and did take a gigantic electrical shock which essentially kept him in a weakened non-wolfed out form while Derek was still transformed, it looked like Derek's claws did hit some pretty vital areas.

But then again, as mentioned, Derek was impaled pretty severely by Peter, although that was more down the middle in the stomatch (although that obviously isn't an ideal place to be hit either), he wasn't shocked though, I'd imagine him being born a wolf and just overall being more experienced than Boyd at that point than Boyd was at his death makes a difference

You can definitely make an argument that it's still pretty inconsistent and that if Boyd is dead then Derek should be too considering he got tossed pretty far as well, but I think there's reason to both sides
