.....

Big mismatch. Trabant sucks when I saw him fight.

 

When will Berto step it up? This is a step down from Estrada.

 

When he does he gets KTFO

 

Back when they were coming up, I couldn't tell Trabant wasn't as good as Kessler. They were the tattooed arm guys who both seemed pretty good.

 

At Welterweight stepping up won't come easy.....


it's not like asking a cruiserweight...or featherweight to step up...

 

It's not supposed to be easy, hence the term stepping up.

 

but it should be soo hard...from Estrada to Cotto, Margarito, Mayweather..:dunno:...

his next opponent should've been maybe someone like Quintana...

 

You prove my point. Yes, it should have been someone like Quintana, or maybe Collazo, but he didn't take a fight like it. Judah was tossed around as an opponent for Berto, so he should have fought someone of that caliber, instead of this guy.

 

joe praise him....

 

Trabant is the living proof of performance enhancing drugs. He struggled mightly against two very mediocre fighters and was almost knocked out by one of them. Then suddenly he scores two shocking wins and gets busted for steroids in the second fight.

I also love how Sauerland publically buried Timo Hoffmann after he was busted against Dimitrenko, but signed Trabant after his one year suspension. Maybe this is his way of sticking it to Trabant. :: ::

Anyway Trabant will get stoppped early, either by clean KO or by cut stoppage.

 

It isn't easy to take a step backwards from David Estrada (amongst the welterweight contenders), but somehow, Berto has found a way.

 

Until NOW, REED had Never Heard of Trabant...

Back then who were the non-tattooed arm guys that seemed pretty good? :dunno:

 

That would be guys like Hatton and Kranjc.

 

Trabant doesn't have a tattoo like Kessler...

hmmm...I found this photo, but you are right, that's not like Kessler's and I must be thinking of someone else.

perhaps you were thinking if this guy, he looks liek Kessler's younger brother:

 

Or maybe he meant Mads Larsen

 

The "Inocent" Mads Larsen...

 

yep was thinking the same danish supermiddleweight like Kessler...
