**** Kirk's ESB Championships 2011 ****

Malden the team rest on your shoulders , i don't want to put more pressure but it's for the first place

You got all my thrust :hat:thumbsup

 

And new IBF Youth Middleweight Champ: Patrick Nielsen :happy

 

Good job for the Dane!

 

God that fight was a snoozer. He really needs to put more authority behind his punches if he want the respect of some of the real challengers there's waiting out there.

 

:bbb

 

True, not a FOTY by any means.

Agree. He still also takes som stupid punches I think. But he got lots of time, and he is way better than his first few fights

He deals amazingly well with the pressure, works hard and seem to be a good learner.

 

Pinoy got Ward by SD. I got Ward by UD. But I could also be inclined to change Andrade - George from UD to TKO (Pinoy got Andrade UD as well) hmm :think

 

:bbb

 

Rudy Markussen up next against Steven Bendall.

Lets see if Rudy gets more than one round in :bart

 

True. There's only one way for him and that's up. But the media is hyping him to be so much more than he is tbh. I mean look at Kessler's debut fight.

Now HE looked sublime already in the beginning of his career.

As a Dane I'm really hoping the best for Patrick. But as a unbias boxing fan, I wouldn't be surprised if he'll lose when he steps up in competition.

 

Decided yet? Or will you give Kirk the shot? :smoke

 

True. The amount of hype is awful. Good thing Brian Mathiasen is in the studio, or it would be to much

I also say to people when he is bought up as a topic.

I wasnt around in boxing when Kessler debuted, but I watched it a few years ago, and then I understood why he was always considered as something very special. Patrick is nowhere near there and my gut feeling also tells me that he never will. But its boxing, and everything can happen.

Sauerland and Patrick need to tak it easy and be smart. I wouldnt mind seeing them slow down on the gas pedal for a little while.

Four rounds in for Rudy Markussen before he got the TKO win. Better than one round at least, but could have been good had he went a few more. With a title-fight being discussed, he took way to many chances again, but it ended well despite a cut.

 

Result: Max Bursak KO 3

Info: Is this a fight we made picks for? Anyways Max Bursak just wiped another opponent out. Just battered him around the ring and scored 3 KD's. ( in 1, 2, and 3 when he stopped him ). You could argue it was premature, But the guy was getting whooped. Bursak KO 3

 

For your question, we didn't pick on that fight. :good

 

I'm really looking forward to Markussen/Magee. That's actually a good fight. Not exactly world championship worthy, but definitely a good close fight.
