Right here I go....call me a conspiracy theorist if you have to, But something about this fight just don't sit right with me. First of all we know Zeuge is unhappy at not getting into the WBSS tourney (which is run by his own promoters!) so there's that. Secondly I recall reading a few articles where Zeuge was trying to get out of his promotional agreement with the Sauerlands. The reason above being one of them, but also because apparently there's another promoter in Germany who's supposedly 'taking over' if you will and paying more money. Lastly, a Twitter page also tweeted that they believe Zeuge was *allegedly* going to take a dive... He also looked pretty darn chuffed and relaxed to have lost that fight just then didn't he... Hmmm, talk to me guys.
Nope, he was legitimately hurt in the 4th, and the uppercut that led to the knockdown and stoppage was very legit, they're just trying to save face, and get a few cracks in on Sauerland on their way out of the door. Losing by KO isn't the best negotiating tactic when looking for a new promoter is it?
Joking aside, I don't think he threw the fight. But I do think he lacked motivation for the the reasons you give. As soon as he felt some heat he folded...
I do not think he lost on purpose, he looked good and aggressive in the first two or three rounds and was hurt in the fourth but obviously he isn't feeling bad afterwards because of those things you mentioned. For him it could be the end of his Sauerland contract and that might be a good thing so the loss has a very good positive side apart from losing his title. The only thing i think that supports your theory are the words from Braemer afterwards. Literally he said "Your fault Sauerland..." mocking Sauerland after your fighter losing a title fight is LOL. It seems like he was waiting to say those things.
He looked like he didn’t train, he quit more so through the fact he was absolutely gassed rather than hurt from Rocky’s shots. He is poor man.
Fielding made that **** look like a video game lol. Brutal body shots sappedZuege's power speed & legs. Zuege was beaten to the punch fielding pounded him
I Lost some vcash on Zeuge so I'm open to theories but meh Looks like Fielding more well rounded/more experienced. Pounded Zeuge. That's very disappointing the WBSS excluded him from the tournament though hadn't even crossed my mind
Never seen the fella fight before, but it looked slightly suspect. I probably would've thought he was just ****, but now you point it out it does seem he folded easy
WAR Fielding! Looks like the best version of him showed up to the office tonight. He looked terrible in his last fight. Disappointed in Zeuge, thought he was better than what he showed tonight but stoked for Fielding.
