Christian Hammer vs. Leif Larsen RBR

It wasn't really exciting or worth looking up except for the last couple of rounds when Hammer began turning it around.

Before that it was Larsen walking him down very slowly and thrifty with his punches, seemingly on his way to bossing a decision on aggression or wearing Hammer down to a late stoppage.

Then, BAM - Hammer exploits his vulnerability to counter-punching and shows off some unexpected power.

 

Pretty much.

Larsen should probably just retire. He's 38 and already accomplished athletically in other fields...and honestly the late run he put together in boxing (including what many considered a competitive loss to Solis, albeit the fat & disinterested version) is something else he can look back proudly on.

Hammer can probably try his luck going for a more "serious" version of the European title - such as the EBU, which I'm sure Pulev is going to vacate if he already hasn't since he is on to bigger and better things. Should it wind up back in Dimitrenko's possession or someone like that, Hammer should go for the upgrade.

Otherwise, yeah, milk the WBO Euro belt at home in Romania and make some cash.

Going after a Klitschko or even anyone top 15 is likely to end very messily for Hammer.
