    I misread *********.

    Krasniqi not Schulz' avenger!
    By Karl Freitag
    Heavyweight Luan Krasniqi (29-2-1, 14 KOs) knows what it's like to be in the pressure cooker. As a German, fighting for the world heavyweight championship in Germany on Max Schmeling's 100th birthday is about as intense as it gets. Tonight inside a packed Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, Krasniqi's fight with Brian Minto (27-1, 16 KOs) is being viewed in some quarters as a highly charged grudge match to take vengeance for Minto's recent KO win over Axel Schulz, which derailed the German icon's comeback attempt. Krasniqi, however, isn't buying into it. "I have no contact with Schulz," he said. "To me, nothing lies further than wanting to be his avenger." More important to the WBO #5 rated Krasniqi is a getting a win over the #15 ranked Minto to move closer to a second world title shot.

      I know, I was just kidding with you. The Krasniqi vs. Brewster fight was Schmelling's 100th birthday. I like Krasniqi in this one but Minto has gotten a lot better in my opinion. I don't think the little bit of fat will hurt Minto one bit. If Minto lands that Left hook he has he'll ko Luan. We already know that can happen.

        Well I've just seen Minto against Schulz, who in my opinion always was a terrible fighter. He won, but didn't impressed me at all. Krasniqi is taller and has a good jab while Minto comes in at overweight like the last time.
        He will lose in my opinion. Maybe I'm right mabe I'm wrong, lets see.

        Thx btw
        Minto is lighter for this fight than he was for his last 2, including the Schulz fight.

          weird, minto ranked 26 on boxrec and krasniqi ranked 60 something.

          those ranking are kinda accurate if you wanna talk about who did what in the last year or two.

            krasniqi is just so much of a better boxer than schultz. his jab, much better. olympic experience. tall, and not much older than minto. ref will be giving kras breaks all night. im sure the ring will be huge along with the gloves.

            on that subject does anyone know what kind of gloves they're using and what size?

              I'm rooting for Minto and think win or lose, he's gonna make this a really tough fight for Luan. I just saw the pics and Luan looks to be in great shape and alittle more 'solid' than Brian. Regardless, I'm still predicting an upset TKO by Minto in the late rounds.

                true, minto is 6.5 pounds lighter than when he knocked out schulz, i dont see how that can be anything but a great sign

                  i decided to bet on the marquez vs barrera bout instead. these overseas contests raise my anxiety. in vegas, it's more of what happens in the ring, than what is surrounding it.

                      Hitman are you watching this fight? And if so, give a link to the live stream if you got one. If not, do some round-by-round.
