Brahmer vs. Eubank Jr in the finals in my bracket after what I just saw.

Yea, I see it that way as well.

It's likely. People seem to have forgotten what a canny old warhorse Braehmer is... dude never took enough risks with his career and never got much exposure outside of Germany but the dude knows his way round a ring... not saying he's some master slickster, but even at 39 years I think he might have enough for the Mundo I saw last month.

This was given before the fight to me, just a fight for Braehmer to get used to the weight....and so it proved!

Braehmer was far too skilled and experienced for Brant, what were people thinking?

Any way....... Braehmer to beat Smith semi..... M me to bet on that... will bite your dick off!

You have to ask WHY was he not a big name?

Was it because he was scared or American fighters didn't mention or want to fight him?

Honestly couldn't say... I don't think he was 'scared' - hell I don't really think any top flight boxer is 'scared'. On the other hand there's little evidence that he ever really sought title fights in the US, although it's entirely possible this may be due to visa issues - Jurgen has had a few run-ins with the law I believe. Certainly he's a tricky enough guy that I can see why other fighters might not have chosen to seek him out though.

They're in Germany so in all honesty, he probably only won 1 round of the official scorecards.

I'd be shocked with one round, as a foreign fighter in Germany you normally need a knockout to draw

BETTING ODDS: The odds are virtually dead even, with Brähmer around -140 in pretty much all sportsbooks. No bonus multiplier.

You only need to post in this thread to indicate if you'd like to use one of your 2X or 3X multipliers. EG.

If you are using no multiplier (1X), and not picking a draw, just voting in the poll puts you in. I will assume you want 1X unless you post otherwise.

NOTES:
-Draws are worth 120pts

-CLOSE is <=12 pts difference, or equivalent to 116-112 on all three scorecards or closer
WIDE is >12 pts difference

-PM me before the fight starts with a different pick in order to change your pick.

-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 3 doubles and 2 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

Damn. This **** was today? Why didn't you tell me it was a Friday fight?

You ****ing slipping nowadays, man.

Would it have killed you to highlight that is a FRIDAY fight in the OP?

[siablo14]

I didn't vote but I would'nt have gotten it right anyway

What? Why didn't you vote man?

[BrometheusBob.]

What? Why didn't you vote man?

Because I thought the fight was tomorrow

Luckily I found out quickly enough to cap the poll not too much later than usual

Braehmer has a good left hook
