A s****py, durable and unlikely to nab a revenge knockout win (His only logical path to victory) fighter in Giovanni De Carolis vs a young, inexperienced German Sauderland hypejob getting an undeserved title shot so he can become the youngest SMW champion in history. What's the point besides potentially ****ing an unheralded fighter with no leverage behind him that they know they can get away with robbing? Seems like an attempt at showing some modicum of fairness or whatever hollow show they're trying to put on. Seems almost as pointless as Pascal/Kovalev II, as much as I'd love to see De Carolis finish the job here despite already being shafted in a fight he deserved 8-4 or 9-3, with a knockdown.
Fights like this are what builds names for the future. Don't down them, then 3 years from now when they are on the cusp, crown them! Let the guys shine. I didn't know anything about Jean Pascal until he fought Hopkins the second time. I thought he was a bum.
De Carolis dropped him once and hurt him pretty bad in the 4th, he can KO him, I can't see Feigenbutz improving all that much in the rematch, I'm sure he's not quite AA or Huck when it comes to correcting his mistakes the second time around. Supposedly the German people weren't that thrilled with the decision so maybe Giovanni may get his due this time around barring a KO loss.
By the way Russell get your ass up to Kirk's thread and make your pick for tomorrow since you said you wanted to join.
You'd probably like the first match, Feigenbutz is a KO artist hype job who got his ass thoroughly schooled by okay Italian SMW De Carolis who beat him easily 118-109 on my card so much so they're having a rematch since De Carolis was brutally robbed on the scorecards the first time around.
I need a good fight to get me back into boxing. There's no way I'd be motivated enough to watch 2 euros that aren't even in the top 20 on borex fight. Quigg/Frampton should be good.
Nobody likes Feigenbutz, because he got a Robbery the last time and was acting like a ****** in the post-fight interview. Even the german fans are watching the rematch, because they want to see him lose. I think, Sauerland will let Giovanni win this time, because a second robbery would be more devestating than a loss.
That's what I've been thinking since they announced it, Sauerland probably realizes how average Feigenbutz is since get can't get past the decent but not great De Carolis he has no chance against other far better SMW's
