Vincent Feigenbutz (21-1, 19 KOs) and his opponent Giovanni De Carolis (23-6, 11 KOs) both performed a public workout today ahead of their vacant WBA World Super Middleweight title fight on Saturday night at the Baden-Arena in Offenburg, Germany.
In front of close to 800 spectators at the famous Europa-Park amusement centre in Rust, the battling super middleweights took to the ring to give fans an indication of what they can expect from their hotly anticipated World Championship rematch.
‘’The time for talking is almost over,’’ said the 20 year-old Feiegnbutz, who can become Germany’s youngest ever World Champion with a second victory over De Carolis. ‘’Now, I must show everybody what I can do in the ring!
‘’I’m 100% fit, and I promise the fans a better performance on Saturday night than they saw in our first fight. There is a lot of the line, and I will do everything I can to be crowned World Champion.’’
De Carolis appeared equally as confident as his young foe, insisting he has had the perfect training camp ahead of their World title tilt. ‘’I’m well prepared,’’ said the 31 year-old from Rome. ‘’I will give my all in the ring, and if everything goes to plan, I will be bringing the belt home to Italy.’’
Also present at today’s public workout were rising German stars Leon Bauer (5-0, 4 KOs), who at seventeen years of age is the country’s youngest professional boxer, and 21 year-old heavyweight Alexander Hofmann (1-0). Both are in action on Saturday night, with Bauer taking on the undefeated Ondrej Marvan (3-0, 2 KOs) and Hofmann searching for a second professional win against Bekim Pagga (5-8, 3 KOs).

Hopefully the judges get it right this time, does Feigenbutz have much popularity/power behind him?
He is not very popular in Germany and after his terrible comments on the first fight he got some bad press and probably isn't very liked over here. But he got the biggest german promoter behind him and Sauerland don't have much young talent nowadays in Germany. Feigenbutz and Zeuge are the most interesting young talents they have. So I could see them give him the decision again, just to have that useless WBA-Titel and maybe defend it against Sturm or "unify" (what a joke to use that word here) with Abraham. That would be a good fight for Germany. But Feigenbutz looked terrible in the first fight. In my opinion he only got a punchers chance (if the judges are fair) against most Top-40 guys at 168.

Yeah I have it on bluray, doesn't everyone?
I meant that Feigenbutz never should have gotten that decision. De Carolis beat him clearly the first time around.

He will fight whatever toothless clubfighter Sauerland puts in front of him to be crowned "world champion."

Rematching someone you already beat for a vacant WBA 'lower' title is about as easy as it gets so he can't have been willing to do all that much really.
Have you seen the first fight?
