Brahmer - Kuziemski, Balszay - Stieglitz. Discussion and RBR.

I never even heard of this Kuziemski...what was his record?

Undefeated,something like 19-0 but no punching power yet witty in the ring.I think as I don't know much myself.Won't have to I see.

BattlingNelson on a scale from 1 to 10 how entertaining was this?

Sounded definetely watchable.

Brahmer now expects to challenge lineal champion Zsolt Erdei on December 12.

That should be good.

The fight was watchable for sure. It was longer than it had to be with a couple of slow rounds late in the fight. Still a lot of scoring blows form both men. Kuz just doesn't have the chin to compete at this level.

Brahmer showed good counterpunching abilities but gave Kuz too much target. That could be fatal against harder punchers.

I'd say about 7 if I should rate it. Or B-.

And now for the main event...

Super middleweight has the most talent of any division in boxing: Balszay, Kessler, Bute, Dirrell, Bika, Froch, Taylor, Abraham, Ward, Inkin, Andrade, etc.

However, it's likely that some of these guys will eventually move up to 175.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to see Balszay again. The Inkin fight was a real good technical battle. He should be able to look impressive against longtime contender Stieglitz.

I expect a KO.

No. There's still a little hour before fight time I think.

What I don't like about today's fighters, especially the ones based in Europe, is that they tend to be lousy at finishing off opponents when they got them hurt. Sometimes fights that could be ended in 5 rounds proceed all the way up to 10! And that's really frustrating to watch, because it means the hurt guy just retreats and runs and clinches, while the pursuer just keeps missing.

I think you are generalizing a bit here. Europe has had its fair share of sluggers and the US has it's share of careful fighters.

Still from the outside looking in Brahmer should have put the pedal down earlier.

Hey, I'm European! But I've seen a few really dull fights because the fighter wasn't capable of pulling the trigger. I know it happens in the US too, but European fighters tend to be a bit more reserved than the American ones. Maybe it has something to do with their respective upbringing.
