A couple heavyweight prospects take moderate steps in Germany this weekend

WBO #1 Alexander Dimitrenko, 256.8, is in against Luan Krasniqi, 225.9, and WBO #9 Denis Boytsov, 220.4, faces Vinny Maddalone, 228.1.

Neither is the second coming, and frankly both seemed to get more "chatter" from overseas earlier in their careers, but if they were Americans and this was the 90's it might've been a Boxing After Dark card.

 

Four bums. Another wasted TV date. Dimitrenko was actually in position to fight Wladimir Klitschko on Dec. 13th since he´s the highest ranked IBF contender. I missed my only opportunity to cheer for the Wlad. :crying:

 

::

I remember was Boytsov was just starting out....and some of the talk about him bordered on lunatic.

 

He could still be good. He hasn´t stepped up to the level of pretenders yet, that have exposed Dimitrenko like Bean, Hoffmann, Koval, Zumbrun and company.

 

He was more entertaining when he was just starting out, and lighter.

 

WAR KRASNIQI!

 

::::

I´m with you. artie:

 

What's up with Dimitrenko? For the first couple of years of his pro career,some were talking like he was the second coming of Vlad!

Still haven't seen him yet in the states,so don't have any idea how good/bad he is.

 

2-0 Krasniqi is beating his ass. ROFL. :laughing:

 

Wow, is Trenko that bad El?

 

What crap. Dimitrenko wins with a single bodyshot. Dimitrenko is such a lucky bum. Dimitrenko is so proud of himself after he got owned by ancient Krasniqi for three rounds. :doh:

At least the crowd shits on him.

 

Of course he is. He´s Pussimir³. First decent fighter he´ll quit.

 

I would REALLY appreciate a round by round


EDIT: Fuck me, it's over. Krasniqi let me down.

 

Nobody EVER EVER EVER said that... or you hang to much at eastside...

 

Looks like Holyfield is still better than Boytsov. :shit:

 

Krasniqi was beating Dimitrenko up. I saw a replay of this and since the program time was running out and I knew a KO was coming, I was sure Krasniqi was going to score it. Not quite though. Sasha's KO shot was actually an impressive one but he got hit very easily in there

 

It was a nice body shot knockout.

For a 6'7 fighter, who at times looks like he's standing on stilts, he's actually got a pretty nice left hook to the body.
