Comments Thread For: Callum Smith vs. Nieky Holzken in Play For WBSS Clash

[Chrismart]

Braehmer has pulled out a few times in the past hasn't he?
Shame really.

I didn't know Nieky Holzken was boxing now. For those who don't know he's a former kickboxing champion, was a borderline star. I guess boxing is his retirement plan because he's lost his past 3 in kickboxing.

He's also very metrosexual & annoying to look at.

Come on man. Postpone the fight 4-6 weeks and reschedule the final for august. Then Groves should be ready also.

Problem fixed.

I think this is a great idea but I think they want the WBSS not to overrun. Kind of shows the problem with it being within a timeframe and injuries. I hope Groves is 100% and makes it to the final. UK vs Dutch fighter headlining in Germany. I wonder how well it would do....

Poor bastards probably stuck with their tickets now. ITV though still expecting people to pay a tenner for it, bound to bomb. Warren got a big smile on his face.

they might as well grant smith an automatic qualification into the final..he should have no problem defeating this euro level fighter..otherwise smith is then also an oberhyped euro level fighter

Holzken is one of the best kickboxers and he has held a record in boxing of 13-0 right now. He's not Euro level and its better than Smith fighting no one to get to the final. He can have an upset here.

I believe brähmer has already withdrawn from fights against shumenov and cleverly. The guy probably has some confidence Problems. Whenever he has to face tough Opposition, he somehow gets sick.

I once tried to get into kickboxing and muay Thai. I didnt do big Research, but finding Information about Rankings, p4p, which sanctioning Body is the most valid was even more difficult than boxing.

Do you have some good Websites, which offers clear Information about the kickboxing/muaythai Scene?

There is a heavyweight kickboxing Champion in Germany right now, who gets a Little bit of Hype and I am pretty sure, that he is not remotely at the top of his weight class.

It's a mess. Just when MMA was blowing up and everyone thought kickboxing would blow up with it, K-1 (bigger than UFC at one point) went bankrupt and all of its fighters were pretty much left on the street.

The most "valid" organization at the moment is GLORY: https://www.glorykickboxing.com/fighters
It's where Holzken was champion at welterweight
Their HW champ is genuinely quite good. Also main sparring partner of Fury in preparation for Klitschko.

... Well, OK... But they already sold the tickets fort the card this Saturday, and (perhaps) for the final as well...

... Anyway, the WBSS super middleweight tournament was weak and now it turns into a failure... I don't think that the winner's purse should be the same with that for the CW winner...

now sheit hitting the fan. why not Zurdo or fedor chudinov. Hell, even Eubank is good replacement. anyways he is always in gym
