Sebastian Sylvester, Giovanni Lorenzo are Very Confident

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sebastian Sylvester (31-3, 15 KOs) is confident he can keep the IBF Middleweight Title in the Team Sauerland family as he prepares for Saturday´s showdown with Giovanni Lorenzo. The two top-ranked challengers clash for King Arthur Abraham´s belt in the Hurricane´s backyard of Neubrandenburg. “I am very happy to box in Neubrandenburg,”
Sylvester said at today´s media training. “The crowd was fantastic when I knocked out Javier Castillejo and Gaetano Nespro. I hope for the same support again. It will be a very difficult fight against Lorenzo. He is a very strong fighter but I am confident of success.” [details]

This seems like an even matchup.

Neither fighter is quite world-class. Lorenzo has the advantage in power, Sylvester has better technical skills.

To me Lorenzo was exposed as a fraud contender when he was outclassed by a washed up Raul Marquez. I just can't see him winning, especially in Germany.

Agreed that the match-up seems pretty even but don't be too mislead on the less than stellar KO-percentage by Sylvester. That guy can whack.

[Zarco]

I think Lorenzo is going to win because he is way too big for sylvester.

The Marquez loss was a learning and growing experience for Lorenzo IMO. The experience and skill gap between the competition he was facing and Raul was too big a jump. His power and quickness will be a problem for Sylvester, his right hand will land and Sebastian's chin can get cracked.

Good luck to Lorenzo if it goes to a decision, especially, if it goes to a decision. Dominicanos en la casa, sofoquense.
