Sylvester/karmazin - good fight?

[micky]

Looking forward to this one, can see almost any result, Karmazin could stop Sylvester, and Sylvester could stop Karmazin whose punch resistance is seemingly on the wane. Sylvester has some decent skills and could win on points but Karmazin at his best could be too busy.

Tough fight to call, how do you guys see it?

[IntentionalButt]

I'm pulling for Roman to find a way to take it out of the judges' hands. He probably will.

[bodhi]

Karmazin slipped too far I think. Sylvester is no fraud either. He can take a beating and still keep trying. I pick Sylvester on points.

[Geronic]

I think Karmazin isnt't at the right place at the right moment. Sylvester is limited (Sturm showed it) but in this moment of Karmazin's career I pick Sylvester on points.

[harvinmagler]

i think sylvester is very one dimensional, and karmazin has a lot of heart and has nothing to lose so im picking him for a close SD

[craigyboy]

I think i'm gonna go for Sylvester on pts he has the homecrowd and probably the judges in his advantage plus Karmazin isn't as good as he was so Sylvester by a ud i think:cool:

[barry big balls]

Looking forward to this one. Karmazin is probably the best fighter sylvester has faced since he picked up the vacant IBF title so im hoping karmazin has enough to beat him.

[Grecorussian]

Tommorow is the big day for the title !

Q : How was your training for this fight ?

Roman : I am more prepaired for this fight than I was for my previous one . My opponent is a workhorse but nothing really special about him , I have to come out and win the fight .

Q : Do you think you have to win by KO in Germany ?

Roman : Well , you know . They wont give us the victory any other way .

Q : You could be the first russian to be a world champion in 2 different weightclasses in professional boxing . Is this an extra motivation for you ?

Roman : Yes , I am trying to reach this . Big motivation for me .

Q : You've already fought twice in Germany , whats your opinion about Germany ?

Roman : I want to say once again , nobody believes in winning in Germany , when you go to Germany you go to there to lose . I came here to win , I was here twice and won European Championships against 2 strong opponents .

Karmazin deserved to win :twisted::twisted::twisted: He outboxed him.

Dmitry Pirog would beat Sylvester soundly.

Don't see Sylvester making it all the way in this one , either getting knocked out or stopped on cuts .

Nothing new to me but I'll say it again after tonight's fight: Sylvester is boring as hell:patsch

[IntentionalButt]

Most of the time, yes. He can throw a nice right hand when he feels like it.

He should have lost his belt. Now we get to see more of him, and poor Roman is probably going to retire empty-handed. :verysad

There should be one for sure. The scorecards of the Americans were ridiculous. The draw was okay, a razor-thin decision for Karmazin would have been okay too.

[Serenata]

Exactly my thought. No robbery, close decision but I had Karmazin up by one round.

When was the last time a German lost a 'close decision' in a title fight in Germany?
I thought Campillo beat Murat - Murat got the nod.
I thought Gevor beat Sturm convincingly. Sturm got the nod.
I thought Spada edged Zbik in the first encounter. Zbik got the nod.
I admit I didn't watch last night's fight, but if it was as close as you say, it is yet another example that an away fighter can only win a title in Germany by winning convincingly or by knockout.

And let's face it no other country has nearly as many scandalous moments such as the Krasniqi/Brewster, Hernandez/Braithwaite, Braehemer/Sukhotsky, Ottke/Reid ...

It's pretty relevant. When was the last time an away fighter won a close decision in Germany. Come on, I want an answer. Admit it Germany is the hardest place in the world to 'win' a decision.

Btw. Ghevor is German citizen. Self-ownage, right there. :hi:

Let's not get into that debate again. Pianeta is a German citizen having been raised there since childhood. But he regards himself as Italian. Abraham is a German citizen, but refers to himself as Armenian. Samil Sam was born and raised in Germany but regards himself as Turkish.

On the flipside the Podolski & Klose were born in Poland to parents who were also Polish born, (both of their mothers represented Poland internationally), yet regard themselves as German due to the fact that they were raised there.

Self determination is more important than citizenship. Seeing as your quite the liberal I fail to see how you can disagree with this.

Oh & btw, we have many people over here who despite holding British citizenship do not regard themselves as British.

Again what has this to do with what we are talking about. You asked when was the last time a German lost a close fight in Germany. Ghevor is German and lost. You can come up with all the excuses you want. Bottomline is, when Ghevor fights he fights for Germany, the German anthemn is sung before the fight and when he wins he is handed the German flag.

Oh, and I´m no liberal, I´m no conservative or socialist either. I don´t follow any ideology. I take things how I see them. If you don´t like it, it´s your problem, not mine.

You are right in stating that robberies are a worldwide phemonenon, and by no means exclusive to Germany. North America have had more than there fair share of high profile scandals in the past few years - Martinez/Cintron, Guzman/Funeka 1, Casamayor/Santa Cruz, Campillo/Shumenov all spring to mind as recent examples.

However you'd have to admit the worst refereeing displays have all come in Germany; you can't defend the aforementioned examples I listed in my previous post.

Still ducking the question? You keep quoting that one example as if it's indicative of corruption in Britain. Did the referee drag Froch to his feet after he had been legitimately knocked down (Hernandez/Braithwaite)? Did he stop counting at nine when Froch was unable to rise to his feet (Krasniqi/Brewster)? Did he interupt the action when Froch was on the end of a fifty punch salvo, to have Froch's wounds inspected (Braehmer/Sukhotsky)?

You probably will struggle to find anymore examples to support your weak argument, considering our fighters actually fight abroad, and are less liable to accusations of homecooking.

Olusegun & Bayaar have both won the British title in their respective divisions recently. This doesn't detract from the fact that neither is British. Gevor is Armenian. Sturm is German. This was not billed as an all German affair, and you know it. If you were to start a thread posing the question, 'is Gevor German or Armenian', the overwhelming majority would side with me.

Murat won the opening two rounds but Campillo schooled him after that and outclassed him. That was awful crap decision. Ottke Reid is classic of course but besides that the other examples are pretty much pointless..
Brewster ko´d Krasniqi, Braithwaite ko´d Hernandez
Brahmer outpointed Sukhotsky convincingly and proved the decision to let him continue was the right one. I´m not a friend of waving off bouts of to quickly at all and he wasnt even down. of course if it was Brahmer who hurt the Russian in a situation like that they´d waved it off most likely.
Tajbert lost a close fight to Gulyakevich in Germany for an euro belt so did Shabani to Bundu and Sidorenko vs Moreno twice. If you were talking about native Germans then its pointless since there is no solid amout. would be Maske then probably about 15 years ago.. :lol:
I had Sturm and Zbik winning their fights on my cards and I do really like Gevor and dont have the slightest doubt he will destroy Zbik on their 17th july clash. :bbb

[NBT]

I thought the draw was fair. Karmazin was more active but mostly hitting glove, while Sylvester landed the cleaner, more effective blows. bodhi might remember the discussion from Sturm-Gevor regarding activity versus effective punching. Those two fights are a good example.

This is NOT effective punching while hitting less, Sturm lost that fight.

Karmazin was marked and swollen, left eye closing, this is effective punching while hitting less, the draw is fair.

Btw. Ghevor is German citizen. Self-ownage, right there. :hi:
He wasn't a German citizen when he lost to Sturm. But that was of no importance. Sturm got the fight because he was the name fighter and the draw of the two, because he was the main event fighter for Universum. Gevor was the "opponent" who was supposed to lose.


Let's not get into that debate again. Pianeta is a German citizen having been raised there since childhood. But he regards himself as Italian. Abraham is a German citizen, but refers to himself as Armenian. Samil Sam was born and raised in Germany but regards himself as Turkish.

On the flipside the Podolski & Klose were born in Poland to parents who were also Polish born, (both of their mothers represented Poland internationally), yet regard themselves as German due to the fact that they were raised there.
If you get into that debate you should get your facts straight. Samil Sam was born in Germany but raised in Turkey, his family went back to Turkey after he was born. Podolski is a full-fledged Pole with German citizenship, alright, but Klose was is a member of the ethnic German minority in Poland (his German family name should be an obvious hint) which makes him German by birth right according to the Basic Law of Germany: "Unless otherwise provided by a law, a German within the meaning of this Basic Law is a person who possesses German citizenship or who has been admitted to the territory of the German Reich within the boundaries of December 31, 1937 as a refugee or expellee of German ethnic origin or as the spouse or descendant of such person."

Gevor is Armenian. Sturm is German.
I fail to see how Gevor is supposed more or less German than Sturm. Both are German citzens with Non-German ethnicity. Gevor is Armenian, Sturm(Adnan Catic) is Bosnian.

You are so desperate it´s funny. :lol: Bringing up Brähmer-Sukhotsky. If this would have been the other way round you you would cry robbery for a too early stoppage.
Btw. Hernandez and Krasniqi lost those fights :good Scandalous! :lol:

Your bias against everything German is well documented, making these discussions pointless.

1. Ghevor´s "self-determination" has nothing to do with it because it has no influence on the outcome of any fight.
2. Ghevor is German citizen. Fact.
3. Ghevor fights under German flag and after the German anthemn is sung.
4. He lost in Germany.

I proved you wrong, don´t come up with desperate excuses and admit your failure, limey. :D

If you get into that debate you should get your facts straight. Samil Sam was born in Germany but raised in Turkey, his family went back to Turkey after he was born. Podolski is a full-fledged Pole with German citizenship, alright, but Klose was is a member of the ethnic German minority in Poland (his German family name should be an obvious hint) which makes him German by birth right according to the Basic Law of Germany: "Unless otherwise provided by a law, a German within the meaning of this Basic Law is a person who possesses German citizenship or who has been admitted to the territory of the German Reich within the boundaries of December 31, 1937 as a refugee or expellee of German ethnic origin or as the spouse or descendant of such person."

This is what is fact. Thus Ghevor, Sturm and all the other fighters with German citizenships are Germany, no matter what you guys bring up. :hi:

[ollyc]

If you get into that debate you should get your facts straight. Samil Sam was born in Germany but raised in Turkey, his family went back to Turkey after he was born.

I stand corrected.

Podolski is a full-fledged Pole with German citizenship, alrightI read a interview with Podolski where he stated he regarded himself as German. I'm aware he possesses Polish citizenship, but to be honest if he has declared himself as German that's more than enough for me.

But Klose was is a member of the ethnic German minority in Poland (his German family name should be an obvious hint) which makes him German by birth right according to the Basic Law of Germany: "Unless otherwise provided by a law, a German within the meaning of this Basic Law is a person who possesses German citizenship or who has been admitted to the territory of the German Reich within the boundaries of December 31, 1937 as a refugee or expellee of German ethnic origin or as the spouse or descendant of such person.Again, his parents were born in Poland. He was born in Poland. The law to me isn't the most important factor in determining nationality. The fact that Klose was raised in Germany and thus regards himself as German, is the most important thing. Similarly if he had declared his allegiance to Poland, I would've similarly respected his choice.

Matthew Macklin has both Irish & British citizenship; as a child of Irish immigrants he was elligible for an Irish passport & having been born in England he is automatically a British citizen. He however regards himself as Irish - without wanting to labour the point, this takes precedence over any law.

Anyway all this talk of citizenship is boring me. Bodhi was the one who introduced the issue to the conversation, when he incorrectly stated that Gevor was a German citizen at the time he fought Sturm, to debunk my claim that foreign fighters do not generally get the decision in close bouts against German fighters.


I fail to see how Gevor is supposed more or less German than Sturm. Both are German citzens with Non-German ethnicity. Gevor is Armenian, Sturm(Adnan Catic) is Bosnian.You can't see the difference? It's pretty obvious. One is German born and raised (Sturm) the other arrived in Germany at the age of 16 (Gevor).
As stated previously Sturm is German, Gevor is Armenian.

[ollyc]

You are so desperate it´s funny. :lol: Bringing up Brähmer-Sukhotsky. If this would have been the other way round you you would cry robbery for a too early stoppage.

Where did I say the fight should've been stopped you daft fucker?
I thought the fight should've continued - what I objected top was the break in action when Braehmer couldve been one or two shots from at the very least taking a trip to the canvas (he might've even have been stopped - we'll never know thanks to the referee's intervention). That 33 second break allowed him to recover sufficiently; you can't deny that (well since your such an obstinate, deluded defender of all things German you probably can).

Here's the round in question. See if you can't find fault with the referee.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

(The onslaught begins at 0:50 - Braehmer then takes several unanswered headshots [approximately 50!] until the referee stops the fight for 33 seconds to get Braehmers wounds attended to @ 1:30 in the video).

I have also spent large amounts of money obsessively collecting everything Kraftwerk have ever released on vinyl.

So you're wrong. And not for the first time.

Ghevor is German citizen. Fact.As mentioned by NBT, he wasn't when he fought Sturm.
So my argument still stands. Close fights always go the way of the German fighter.

I proved you wrongNo you didn't. You've either wilfully misinterpreted what i've stated or ignored points you can't refute.

[ollyc]

Brewster ko´d Krasniqi, Braithwaite ko´d Hernandez

Again i'm aware of the outcomes of these fights. That doesn't justify the disgraceful officiating.

Brahmer outpointed Sukhotsky convincingly and proved the decision to let him continue was the right one. I´m not a friend of waving off bouts of to quickly at all and he wasnt even down. of course if it was Brahmer who hurt the Russian in a situation like that they´d waved it off most likely.As I said in my previous post I don't think the fight should've been stopped either. What I objected to was the refereee stopping the action after Braehmer had been on the receiving end of approximately fifty unanswered headshots, in order to see that Braehmer's wounds were inspected by the doctor. If the action had been allowed to continue who knows what could've happened.

[Escopeta]

No look at it the action was over at that point. Sukhotsky had shot his wad. Braehmer had a serious cut caused by a legal punch. so if the doc had advised to stop the fight Sukhotsky would have won by tko immediately. The referee just did what he had to do.

Gevor lost that fight due to his own faults. everything worked well he stunned Sturm with uppercuts showed good bodywork and so on until he decided to act like some one dimensional bum and tried to bash his head against Sturms defense wall what of course lead into the fact that he landed nearly nothing and got countered well. Still cant believe he fought that way. It was a kinda similar story in the fight with Abraham. Nearly everyone rates Gevor based on these two fights which might be not wrong but in fact he is a much more mobile and skilled fighter. But he lost that fight with Sturm.

[bodhi]

Brewser vs Krasniqi was one of the better fights that were for a major hw belt in the recent years so I was pleased for it. Krasniqi showed some heart but never had a chance to survive that fight since Brewster was much to strong for him.
Hernandez vs Braithwaite was of course ridiculous stuff but its not the case that such things happen only and every week in Germany.
Hernandez is a very talented fighter and what harms me most is that the germans force him to fight downright out of double guard stance since he was ko´d which is huge bs imo.
However sadly boxing is full of frauds. All over the world the promoters try to gain as much profit as possible and if necessary nearly no one hesitates to take a shit on sport.
Its senseless to list all the bs that happened in germany, uk, usa, mexico or elsewhere but Ottke vs Reid is one of the most famous robberies of all times but if you ask the ppl to name the biggest robberies they remember then besides Ottke vs Reid they wont come up with many others in which a german based fighter was involved. Maybe some would name Sturm vs DHL or Schulz vs Foreman.
I remember Mormeck vs Bell II in France when the bell suddendly rang whenever Mormeck was hurt. But that doesnt mean France is shit in general. I recently watched Nongqayi vs Bouziane and thought Bouziane did enough to win although it was very close.
The thing that bothers me with the fights in germany is that it seems there are a lot of people that just watch those fights bc they are keen to watch a robbery. No matter how the fight goes their scores will be in favor of the boxer who they think should lose even if its out of touch with any reality..

Karmazin was more active but mostly hitting glove, while Sylvester landed the cleaner, more effective blows.

Karmazin was marked and swollen, left eye closing, this is effective punching while hitting less, the draw is fair.



I agree.

Sylvester is deathly-dull, but he has a powerful and accurate jab and it snapped Karmazin's head back all night. Sylvester's defence is also excellent - he's really hard to tag clean.

Honestly? I didn't think Karmazin's work was very effective. But it seems a lot of people liked his work rate.

Short memory, aye Bodhi?

:lol: No, but I didn´t insult you there. I did not call you that, I just compared your history to those. Little difference, sweety. :smooch

As mentioned previously, I think we're not going to see eye to eye on what happened here.

Of course not. Because you are biased. Btw. I don´ßt like Brähmer, he is an idiot who threw away his talent and is bad for boxing since he is a rolemodel. So if anything I´m biased against him. :hi:


Your tone, use of emoticons, and justifications show that you don't really care about what happened. What if Krasniqi recovered sufficiently to win the decision over Brewster? What if Hernandez recovered sufifciently to kayo Braithwaite? The referees provided both with unfair & illegal opportunitues to recover from heavy knockdowns.

If this would have happened it would have been a scandal. Since it didn´t and the right man won, it doesn´t matter.



I admitted no such bias. I merely said I don't really rate most of your fighters. Doesn't mean I lack the ability to score fights objectively.

That sentence implies bias. :good


The exception rather than the rule, 'sweetheart'.

Is it any other in any other country? Answer: no, it is not. Thing is, in Germany every close fight is automatically seen as a robbery when it goes for the hometown fighter. In other countries it´s not that way.

Most of Karmazin's swelling was from round 11, which was Silvester's best round. There is a difference between effective punching and shelling up with minimal punch output. Throwing 1 or two effective lefts a round is not sufficient to win fights in my opinion. It just means you're a spoiler, and work rate should swing it in the other guys favour. Karmazin won.

Landing on the other guys arm isn´t effective aggression. Ineffective aggression does not win you fights.
