Brahmer Stops Kanfouah, Graf Decisions Dahlen

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Dresden, Germany - German Jurgen Brahmer won the vacant EBU light heavyweight title with a fifth round stoppage of Frenchman Rachid Kanfouah. The fight was stopped at 2.30 of the fifth with Kanfouah´s left eye swollen shut. Brahmer, a southpaw, grabbed command right from the start. [details]

Nice, so Braehmer beats no one at light heavy, is handed a title shot in Germany by his manager Kohl, gets easily out-pointed at home by Garay, and now Kohl is hinting at a "rematch" with Garay, undoubtedly once again Germany. This is like Dawson-Tarver, only Kohl is apparently running the WBA show and making sure his fighter once again gets home-field advantage even though he lost badly the first time around.

Garay is now signed by Universum so both will be on home turf. Sort off.

Anyway it was a good and entertaining fight last night and a pity Kanfouah got the injury which just suddenly appeared. It was a shame as Braehmer appeared to tire by the relentless pressure Kanfouah put on him. If not for the injury I'd expect the german to be in trouble.
