Diego Natchoo vs. Péter Krämer

Friday in southern France, headlining a card on Canal+ Sport. The vacant IBO Continental middleweight title will be at stake.

Diego "L'Indien" Natchoo (and yes his nickname does in French mean "The Indian", as in the misnomer applied by Columbus to indigenous Americans, now considered offensive; his ring walk attire even includes the unfortunate embellishment of a very large and ridiculous stereotypical "cowboys & Indians" movie chief's feathered headdress) is, perhaps innocuously oblivious cultural insensitivity notwithstanding, a limited but gutsy and high-engine brawler, who last month captured the French MW title with a stoppage of 38 year old Michel Mothmora, stealing the show on a Christian M'Billi undercard:

His lone professional defeat was via split decision, to Russian transplant Shamil Ismailov. That's no great shame, but he also has several ignominious draws - four, to be precise, in only 22 bouts. Hence my takeaway:

Péter "Kispapo Bokszoló" (the Boxing Clergyman) Krämer was, until recently, a seeming prospect on the rise - going 8-0 (5) between his debut in the summer of 2017 and this past March. Seeming, that is, until you clock his nationality. Yep. The native of Érd had, in that span, fought exclusively in Hungary against other Hungarians. Then he fought .500 journeyman Peter McDonagh in the UK...to a draw. Then he returned the following month to again compete under the Union Jack and was mauled to a RSC by Sam Eggington. Since then he is on the "comeback trail", with two victories in guess what country?

This is the only televised boxing we're getting on Friday*, so beggars can't be choosers, if anyone believes this sort of card "beneath" their attention.



* there is a slim chance that PolSat will pick up the small hall show in Konin, headlined by Nikodem Jeżewski (still "undefeated" after being KTFO with rabbit punches by Michał Cieślak in 2016, reverting to a No Contest when both men subsequently peed dirty, in an overall ludicrous affair) vs. New Zealander journeyman Lance Bryant in a cruiser 8-rounder. Then again, they might not. There is an even slimmer chance that we might see a live stream -on the promoter's Facebook page or something - of a show in Lancashire, headlined by former world title challenger Brian Rose taking on 11-20-4 Alistair Warren in a middleweight 6-round tuneup for his Euro title challenge of Luke Keeler in December. Jimmy Kilrain Kelly is also taking a confidence-builder, against 7-37-4 Christian Hoskins Gomez, in his first appearance since the hard-fought loss to Dennis Hogan.

 

I won't be able to watch or do RBR for this, as it'll conflict with me picking up Lil Butt from school and taking him to swimming class.

@PinoyProdigy @Somachenko @CST80 @Max Thunder @Chuck Norris @Boxing Prospect ...whoever's on, have at it.

(provided you can find the means to observe)

 

Coverage ought to start at 20hrs local time in France (2pm EST; one hour from now)

 

It says Canal+ on the fight poster.
