some of you, like me probably got semi excited when i read this headline only to discover its coming from germany and features IBF middleweight champ sebastian sylvester v mehdi bouadla and IBF cruiserweight champ steve cunningham v enad licina.atsch
Boxing in germany is a disgrace, we've seen two disgraceful decisions this year, first was sylvester vs karmazin, then Huck vs Lebdev
Yeah I hate these pretend world title fights in Germany. Give me Khan-Salita, Haye-Harrison and Burns-Evensen any day! In fairness we've never been as bad as some of the German ones where they win all their fights by a dodgy majority decision.
It'll be good to see Cunningham beat Licina, who really isn't good and got an absolute gift against Kendrick Releford two years ago. Sylvester is fastly becoming the most annoying champion in all of boxing. Billy Lyell may of been a replacement but I'm sure they could have found someone better than him. Then he looked fortunate to draw with a past best Karmazin, who I think was always better at 154 anyway. And then he fought Mahir Oral, who's only claim to getting a title shot was being knocked out by a supposedly weight-drained Abraham. And now he's fighting Bouadla, who has been fed a steady diet of soft touches since being beaten by Affif Belgecham(beaten by Andy Lee and Darren Barker). Hopefully he'll fight Sturm, N'Jikam or GGG at some point. Though I highly doubt it.
Please go watch this fight Denis Bakhtov vs Steffen Kretschman, when you will finish watching this fight you will admit that Germany is the Mother of boxing robberies
