Comments Thread For: Braehmer Will Have His Eye on Kovalev vs. Ward Winner

[daggum]

Well his return has been pretty poor so far and i don't agree with him being anywhere near any p4p lists until he beats a top fighter.

As i say, i'm not a fan but he doesn't seem to be a ducker at all, given the fighters he's faced and will face.

Could he have done more and fought better opposition in the last 4 years even with promotional problems and injuries? probably, it's not like he hasn't fought at all.

I don't think he's the kind of fighter that would duck anybody and hand over a belt, like Canelo for example.

you do realize that the super six was heavily setup in his favor don't you? he's just another boxing diva. he was pretending to be the a-side long before he was even known. not sure why showtime let him do that but they just fueled the monster. froch had to fight in 4 countries and ward only 1 and most of his fights were in his own hometown lmao what a fair tournament. the very first fight he clearly should have been dq'd but thats where that a-side leverage comes in handy. maybe he wins it anyway but it certainly helps when everything is in your favor. then after the super six he thought he was a star even though he wasn't and wanted 2 million to fight bums and 50-50 from ggg and other nonsense and was put in his place. now he was forced into fighting kovalev in order to get his tuneups on hbo. maybe he even wins but he's not doing this because he wants to but because he has to in order to make money.

I don't believe for a minute Braehmer will fight either guy if he wins.

Historically his m.o is to take the easiest guys. and in Germany.

This ^. I think Braehmer's a tough crafty fighter, underated by many, although he is probably on the decline now. However in 50 fights he's fought outside of Germany exactly once... in Hungary.

Juergen does just fine beating OKish European level opponents in Northern Germany and has never shown any interest in traveling or unifying. Can't see why that would suddenly change.

ROFL, see the excuses are already beginning to fly in.

they cant help it


several light heavies deserve a shot before Beterbiev....he needs more pro rounds under his belt

he wont be fighting anyone over the domestic level


look at who he fights

its pretty pathetic and he doesn't belong in the same sentence as Kovalev, and ward

tell them that.

[therealpugilist]

tell them that.

beterbiev has potential but I don't see anything about him that stands out, besides power

he has been dropped by a no name, and he literally doesn't establish a jab, lacks head movement, and his defense is leaky

he needs more grooming and experience


they need to lay off the sauce
