It is, no denying that. It's a bit worse than an unprepared Bellew, but not really much worse than the originally scheduled main event. IMO Braehmer had the better of Kuziemski on the night, while Kuziemski had the better of Sukhotsky on their night (but got Manfredo'ed by a crooked ref) and Sukhotsky in turn had the better of Braehmer on theirs but ran afoul of bad luck with the ref and judges. A>B>C>A. All in the same class, really. The long-awaited Bellew showdown was a breath of fresh air, and having it teased and then taken away is what makes this ultimately such a letdown. I'm just putting things in perspective. Kuziemski isn't all that big a step down from the original opponent in Braehmer (if he's even a step down at all). My assumption is that anyone who had planned to get the PPV all along was doing so primarily for DeGale-Groves (and then the icing on the cake of seeing Cleverly in action against whoever).
You can't say that, because if it's tapped into correctly can bring back the glory days of old. What it needs to be is re marketed and get with the times.
I hope he knocks Clev out, more to hurt Warren but with 5 ko's how likely is that. He is an absolute no body. I'd rather see Cleverly fight Anderson.
Apart from the 5 Ko's and WBO ranked 11, does anyone on here know about Kuziemski and what he brings to the party tomorrow?
Wow, all this hate for Warren. Put yourself in his shoes. Brähmer bitched out on you, you can't find a replacement. You promised your fighter and TV station a fight. You're trying to do anything possible to find an opponent that gets the nod from the sanctioning organization. Use some common sense folks. We're all disappointed Brähmer - Cleverly didn't happen but it's not Warren's fault. He's merely trying to salvage a train wreck here.
