Maybe when they get done they can give Campillo, the true WBA light-heavyweight champion his deserved shot.Comment

I feel Shumenov was moved too quickly early on in his career, and at the same time somewhat overrated. He's skilled, but has HORRIBLE habits, such as backing up in straight lines. And he has horrible pace control. I think he could win this fight, but i'm leaning towards the grizzled vet in Brahmer to come on in the middle rounds and overwhelm Shumenov and stop him, likely by TKO between the 6th and 9th rounds. Just my view on it.Comment

And maybe Andreas Kotelnik, the true WBC light welterweight champ, can have his shot at the winner of Alexander-Bradley?
But somehow I don't believe he ever will.
Shumenov vs. Brähmer should be a good fight - we need more unification fights like this one.Comment

Well I agree with you, Kotelnik should be given a world title shot again against one of the belt holders.Comment
