Luan Krasniqi-Brian Minto Clash on March 17?

[Dude]

Minto is only a tune-up for Krasniqi for a possible title...

It should be relatively onesided ... Luan being the stronger and faster man of the two.

I would take Luan over three of the four World Champs right now.

Does anyone know if there will be a free live stream like the Schulz-Minto fight?

ZDF, a german free TV channel, will cover the bout live ... they should have a stream up

yeah, luan failed to stop david bostice that povetkin stopped in 2 rounds...

no fight in a year

id say krasniqi will probably win, but minto is a very live dog, especially with these odds... i put my bets down on minto at +275

[moochi]

+275 are damn good odds ..

i may have to put a punt on that one.

First off, whoever said that Luan has a lot of heart, your an idiot. He gave up against Brewster and should've been counted out the round before. There is no doubt that Krasniqi is the more skilled fighter. However, Brian is one determined son of a *****. He made no money up until his fight with Schultz and has a lovely wife and two kids to support. Hell up until the Schultz fight Brian worked full-time as a tree trimmer in Pennsylvania. The man doesn't move head and is always stationary, but Minto will throw punches until his arms are dislocated or he is dead. We talked about his fights with Maddalone and he asaid that he didn't know where the hell he had energy to KO Maddalone, but he just dug down and fought. His skill has improved but he still isn't on Krasniqi's level. Thing is though, if Luan underestimates Minto at all, he will be a one hell of a difficult fight and might come up short in the end. If Krasniqi is focused and sharp, he will find Minto an easy target to find, but it will still be a tough night.

I'm going with Minto on this one; I think that he's improved considerably in 2006 and is 'hungrier' than Krasniqi. Also, he's coming off of a huge win(for him)against Axel Schulz in Germany where he totally dominated and demoralized his opponent. My prediction: a late round TKO by Minto.

Krasniqi is a good boxer, certainly better than anybody Minto has faced in the past. Unless Minto has improved his style, Krasniqi is going to give him a boxing lesson. He relies too much on his firepower and not enough on good fundamentals. Krasniqi is clever enough to exploit Minto's flaws. It would be nice to see Minto get the KO, but I don't think it is going to happen.
