Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany --- What defines a champion? At the very end it all comes to a simple formula: champion is one who leaves with the belt after a fight. Another proof has been got tonight in Rostock, Germany, where defending WBA "regular" light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer successfully retained his regalia with a tenth-round stoppage of Robin Krasniqi, who boxed his best in the fight and dragged the champion in deep waters. But not deep enough for the belt to flow away from its holder.
After a hard first round, WBO #1 and WBA #2 rated 175lber Krasniqi, 27, who was riding a five-fight winning streak, following his loss to Nathan Cleverly in April 2014, started to deliver heat to the champion. Krasniqi managed to land both overhand left hooks and straight right hands to the champion's belly to trouble him in the second. TBRB #5 Braehmer, 36, answered with a killer left hook that could have possible saved the round for him. It also became clear, that punching power (mixed with the opponent's ability to take the punch) will be a decisive moment in the bout, and it was.
