Vitali TSYPKO v. Robert STIEGLITZ ~ Analysis and Prediction Thread

Never saw Tsypsko fight but i saw Steilglitz second fight against Berrio. He seems to be a good overall fighter, typical eastern European fighter very good technically and defensively. A very mechanical fighter with a good one-two, but is footwork seems to be the problem, as when he steps black, he goes straight instead of moving in circles which can get him caught by a counter. Overall if he fight Tsypsko and make "enough" to earn the favor of the

judges he should win the fight.

Im not sure if its a good thing for Bute thought, he might have to go fight in Germany.

 

I believe Tsypko is the one promoted by Sauerland and not Stieglitz.

I think we will see Bute-Tsypko in September 2008.

 

Tsypko on points IMO.

 

I think so ,too!

Stieglitz has a lot of power and has stamina is excellent.He doesnt have the best chin out there,and his punch isnt the most devasting one either.
Tsypko is a classy counterboxer who tends to be a bit too inactive at times,but Stieglitz's only chance to win this fight is to go for Tsypko trying to corner him throughout the entire 12 rounds.As soon as Tsypko is allowed to play the game according to rules Stieglitz will have lost the fight.
Furthermore I dare to say that Tsypko has the edge in firepower,and Stieglitz can be knocked out.
Anyway! Stieglitz is no pushover at all.He stopped Berrio in their first encounter,beat Barashian,and quite a bunch of decent fighters.However,Tsypko has met the much better opposition in the ring so far.Besides the pressure is on Tsypko.He loses,he is out of the business.He is a very dull boxer with an extremely boring style,cant speak German well,is totally unknown in his adopted Germany,is hardly marketable at all.Stieglitz is quite known in Germany,speaks German more or less fluently,has a loyal fan base,has been the main fighter quite a couple of times.Even if he loses he will still be a draw.On top of that all he is the younger fighter.
Tsypko has to win this upcomming fight by all means.Otherwise he will have to look for a new job!
My pick: Tsypko by point decision.

 

You should give yours.

 

And since Tsypsko is a counter puncher, he will give Steilglitz hell...

 

Take your time
