The old dog looking pretty sharp, albeit against an inexperienced smaller man. Brant got a decent chin but not a big enough hitter.
There aren’t many highly ranked 27-year olds who can breathe new life into 39-year old war dogs. That’s what young Brant does for the veteran Braehmer in this very watchable fight, where boxing IQ wins the day. Lots of fine boxing by the German against the game yet overmatched American.
Side note: terrific announcing. I’m so used to hearing morons blathering on the PBC broadcasts, or Jim Lampley showing off his vocabulary to Max Kellerman on HBO, that I’d forgotten how nice it is to hear one smart commentator calling the whole fight and only talking about the fight. Kudos also to the tournament for design of that dias for the ring — beautiful.
Hear, hear mate.
Diddo on the commentating.
A good win for the underrated Braehmer…and to drop down in weight at
such an advanced age is extremely difficult, that makes the victory even
more impressive in my view. I thought Brant, going up in weight but
still young, was going to win this one but alas the veteran schooled
him.
Since Brant fought a LHW in the AM’s this contest wasn’t about size.
Specially since the older man was the one having to come down. Which might have helped his speed. Also he was never a big LHW.
Brant fought like an AM.
Didnt change up and kept pushing his punches. Nor did he push the tempo. I do not see him doing anything at 160.
