Shocking that the Russians outbid the Germans. German "champions" almost never fight on the road unless they choose to (Abraham-Miranda II). Nonetheless, IMO Sylvester scores late KO or wins by wide UD because Karmazin is an old junior middleweight (37) who has been showing signs of being shot in recent fights. Sylvester has already proven he can KO old junior middleweights (Castillejo)
