Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Expects Braehmer To Present Some Problems

It does suck, man. It woulda been a good fight I think, and it would have been a great learning experience for Mundo win or lose. I had it about 50/50 but that was allowing for it being in Germany, 60/40 is about right had it been elsewhere, but had Braehmer been 5 years younger I would have picked him for the UD without much hesitation. I don't know what Callum's ceiling is - he may well prove to be the best of the Smith brothers, but right now he's still pretty raw at this sort of level, and that matters against a guy like Braehmer. Well said, couldn't agree more. Think groves will be a very good test for him, just hope they can push back the date so groves will be healthy.

I do remember braehmer starting to come on as the fight kept going on, not denying that. And I'm shot saying he's a slouch, I think he's very skilled and a smart fighter but the fact he is 39 years old just doesn't sit well with me. I know Callum hasn't fought anyone special but I think he's would pose problems to any smw, he's absolutely massive, hits hard, has a good has tank, and seems to have a solid chin and he's very young. If that fight happened and braehmer won i really wouldnt be surprised. In my eyes it was a 60-40 fight, sucks its not gonna happen It does suck, man.

In most eyes Braehmer (including most fans and all 3 judges) was having his way with Cleverly man. Clev took the first 2 by being busy but Braehmer had him figured after that. Braehmer is physically unspectacular but he's a high IQ boxer, he turns guys, messes with their range, smothers them, all the while sneaking in hurtful leather... it's a style with a lot of longevity. Now I'm not saying Juergen is some world-beater. Against the top level LHWs he would lose, but not without giving a decent account of himself. Against todays crop of SMWs - especially one with as little top flight experience as Mundo who's got used to being able to impose his physicality Juergen could be a stylistic nightmare.

That was 4 years ago against a faded enzo on his way out. Last fight before brant was against cleverly, he couldn't continue because of something about his elbow I think, he was clearly losing that fight imo.

If It wasn't for the superfly card that night I'd actually be annoyed by this.... Yea I hear you, not so bad when there's still a good card like that on

Based Of what?? Smith Is Euro level at best.... Based of what? Is he Euro-level. Is Braehmer above Euro level? I'm not that impressed by Smith other than that he is massive at the weight and has a good amateur background and a string of body shot knockouts. An old boy moving down in weight? I'd have put money on it tbh.

A 39-year-old injury prone fighter dropping in weight. I am pretty certain Smith would have stopped him. If not Smith would have to reassess what his goals are in the sport. It does now look like this tournament hasn't done a lot to increase his level of competition. Baby step increases in competition. Braehmer probably would have shown him some things and tested his chin. Groves will likely do-over another domestic rival here. He might have been better off facing whatever Dirrell it was.

Smith wouldn't last very long against that version of cleverly. He's dumb and easy to hit... Braehmer will kill him!!! :boxing: Looks like braehmer just backed out with illness

Braehmer has beat loads of guys that are better than Smith. Smith has never boxed at this level... Enzo Is a big guy Braehmer handled his power and outboxed him. Bum Smith Is no Maccranelli......

lol No I haven't kid!!!! What you gonna say when Braehmer makes a monkey out of this kid and knocks his a*s out?? Don't see that happening, braehmer is good but he's old and going to be the much smaller man. Massive difference in Rob Grant and callum smith.

YDKSAB Smith Is a Eddie Hearn hypejob..... What do you think he Is? Autistic? I've seen you call about 20 fighters complete bums in the last 30 minutes so your opinion means less then nothing to me

Mundo got this..

I like Smith but he better not overlook brahmer. Not that Brahmer is so dangerous but he is fighting in his backyard so he needs to be knocked out. If Smith is what i think he is, he better destroy Braehmer.

Good luck to Smith but he isn’t beating the House Sauerland fighter in Germany by decision. Only chance is by KO, and Braehmer is durable

joe gallagher; ''you're winning, he's gassed, don't be billy big balls''. Truth is you're 10 rounds down.
