Sylvester vs Lorenzo For Abraham's IBF Title on 9/19

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sebastian Sylvester (31-3, 15 KOs) and Giovanni Lorenzo (27-1, 19 KOs) will clash for the vacant IBF Middleweight Title in Neubrandenburg on September 19. After ten successful defences, King Arthur Abraham had vacated the title to participate in SHOWTIME´s sensational Super Six World Boxing Classic Tournament. “The IBF ordered a title fight between the top-ranked challenger, Giovanni Lorenzo, and the number two, Sebastian Sylvester,” Team Sauerland General Manager Chris Meyer said.

Wow, now we're really going to have excitement in the middleweight division. Three homebody champions from Germany: Huggy Zbik, Felix "Close Decision" Sturm and now Sylvester. Shades of Ray Robinson, Monzon, Hagler and Hopkins.

Sylvester, Lorenzo, Zbik and Spada are not quite world-class. But there are some very talented middleweights coming up:

Golovkin
Pirog
Korobov
Jacobs

as well, McEwen and Lara may eventually fight at middleweight.

I hope you don't mean Craig McEwan?

He's not too bad!

I hope they grow up fast because the middleweight division is about as low as it can go with fighters like Huggy Zbik and Sylvester earning homemade titles
