Beibut Shumenov vs. Juergen Braehmer - January 8th

War shumenov :gun

I hope this isn't happening in germany.

 

Shumenov by stoppage in the 8-championship rounds. Braehmar IMO is too vulnerable, which is exactly the reason Shumenov and company went after him.

 

I'm going to take Shumenov TKO 10/11. Braehmer has been stopped in those rounds before and he's going to be tired and get stopped near the end of a close points fight.

 

Awesome. Anyway I like Shumenov. He's like Gene Tunney's ******ed 204th removed ancester. I honestly don't know how he'd look against Pascal or Dawson. Good step forward here.

 

I hope Shumenov stops Brähmer. Can´t stand him.

 

When you look into recent history, you should be glad it isn´t in the UK or US.

 

Except that neither guy is from either country, so....

Huck-Lebedev left a bad taste of sauerlandkraut in my mouth:-(

 

Seriously? Was as much a robbery as Pascal-Hopkins.

 

Which took place in Canada? And I actually disagree, Lebedev outfought Huck the entire time, completely one-sided. Hopkins's knockdowns hurt him, Pascal arguably won the 12th and 10th, a lot closer as far as raw scoring. Lebedev got really jacked.

 

Nah, Lebedev certainly proved he was the better fighter and he won on my cards but it was close. Due to the 10 point must system and due to the 4 criterias by which you judge who won the rounds. Quite often a fighter can´t transcended his superiority in rounds won - Hopkins-Taylor fights are a prime example here. And IMO this was the case in this fight. Basically, you can say neither fighter was the ring general, both did what they wanted to and couldn´t force the other man to do what he wants him to do. Huck showed the better defence. Lebedev weas the more aggressive man and forced the fight but most of his punches landed on arms shoulders and gloves. That´s not effective. So, the rounds were Huck opened up and did something he won the rounds on my cards on clean and effective punching. The ones where he didn´t Lebedev won on aggressiveness and workrate. Huck should have been awarded with a KD in round 4. I had it 115-113 for Lebedev. Close fight. Went to the wrong fighter. Hometown decision. But no robbery. Something that happens all the time everywhere, remember Alexander-Kotelnik?

 

IB, I think he meant Braehmer was almost stopped in his fight against Sukhotsky.
