Jürgen Brähmer vs. Robin Krasniqi RBR

There has been a steady booming "KRA-SNEE-CHEE" chant going since the 1st.

 

Kovalev yes, Stevenson maybe not.

 

Round 8

Brähmer is chopping down on Krasniqi's face with the left hand as he comes in. Brähmer is tethering his right jab to Krasniqi's face on the outside, keeping distance measured. Krasniqi falls in low and hits the body, just once. Brähmer rolls with a long looping lead right and takes the sting of of it. Brähmer ducks another by the ropes. Brähmer is skirting the ropes and moving in to clinch as Krasniqi keeps applying pressure. BIG LEFT UPPERCUT counter by Brähmer. Another chopping left on the head and Krasniqi staggers several feet back against the ropes, crashing into them, bouncing back into Brähmer, held. Tony Weeks splits them. Krasniqi still on shaky legs. Brähmer peppers him into a corner. Krasniqi saved by the bell.

10-9 Brähmer

78-74 Brähmer

 

Or gets KTFO. Or outboxed.

How many skilled southpaws has Stevenson faced? Jesus Gonzales is the only one I can think of and he isn't exactly in Brähmer's class.

 

Round 9

Brähmer is rotating Krasniqi like a spit-roast, jabbing in on him from mid-range. Krasniqi is gobbling up jabs and starting to retreat. Brähmer is caught by a climbing right hand as Krasniqi suddenly comes alive. Brähmer now stunned a bit. Krasniqi is caught by a left hand and the rally is ended. Brähmer has Krasniqi badly hurt, jettisoned across the ring into the ropes. Weeks administers a standing eight count. Brähmer flurries on Krasniqi with less than half a minute remaining. Can't finish him.

10-8 Brähmer

88-82 Brähmer
