Jurgen Brahmer
Alekseev-Ramirez, Brahmer-Williams & Menzer-Schouten On Jan 17
By Erik Schmidt: Undefeated cruiserweight contender Alexander Alekseev (16-0, 15 KOs) be facing Argentinean Victor Emilio Ramirez (13-1, 11 KOs) for the interim WBO cruiserweight title on January 17th at the Burg-Waechter Castello, in Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Alekseev, 27, a former 2004 Olympian from Russia, currently ranked #2 in the WBO, #4 in the WBC, #7 in the WBA and #8 in the IBF, is coming off an impressive 3rd round stoppage in September over Rob Calloway. Enzo Maccarinelli may be in the future for Alekseev if he defeats Ramirez.
Garay Defeats Braehmer
By Erik Schmidt: World Boxing Association light heavyweight champion Hugo Hernan Garay (32-3, 17 KOs) easily defeated German challenger Juergen Braehmer (31-2, 25 KOs) by a 12-round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Stadthalle, Rostock, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The final judges’ scores were 118-110, 117-112 and 116-115.
Brahmer Stops Bennama
By Erik Schmidt: Super middleweight contender Jurgen Brahmer (31-1, 25 KOs) stopped Karim Bennama (17-10-2, 4 KOs) in the 9th round of a scheduled 10-round bout on Saturday night at the Burg-Waecheter Castello, in Dusseldor, Nordrhein, Germany. Ranked # 3 in the IBF, Brahmer, 29, toyed with Bennama, hitting him essentially at will in one-sided contest on the same card as Felix Sturm vs. Jamie Pittman, which also ended up as a disappointing mismatch. Blame it on bad match making, or then again, maybe that was the original intent.
Brahmer Destroys Veit
WBO Inter-Continental super middleweight champion Jurgen Brahmer (30-1, 24 KOs) destroyed challenger Mario Veit (49-4, 23 KOs) tonight, stopping him in four rounds tonight at the Stadthalle, Rostock, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Brahmer, 28, totally dominated the bout, knocking Veit down twice and in the process, gaining revenge for an earlier majority decision loss last year. Fighting behind a strong jab, the southpaw brahmer stunned Veit, 33, in the first round after connecting with a double jab. Veit was able to weather the storm, but from there it was all down hill for the lanky Veit, who had major problems with Brahmer’s excellent jab.
In the first round, both fighters exchanged jabs, fighting cautiously and throwing few combinations. Brahmer spent most of the time stalking Veit, and trying to get in punching range for the taller fighter. The round was pretty much even until the near the end, when Brahmer connected with a double right jab, the second punching hurting Veit and knocking him backwards a couple of steps.
