WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster will defend his title against Luan Krasniqi in Hamburg on 28 September.
American Brewster, who was impressive stopping Andrew Golota last time out, will be a strong favourite to beat his opponent - an Albanian-born German.
But he will also have to overcome a partisan crowd on a date picked to coincide with what would have been the 100th birthday of Max Schmeling.
Germany's only former heavyweight champion died on 2 February, aged 99. Brewster (32-2) won the WBO title against Wladimir Klitschko in April 2004.
Vlak Krasniqi niet uit mensen, die man kan er ook wat van..

Daar heb je gelijk in; Krasniqi is technisch sterk, mooie jab e.d.. Bovendien is het in 'zijn' Duitsland dus op punten kan Brewster het bijna niet winnen. Brewster heeft misschien minder talent maar wel een hele goede kin (zie wedstrijd tegen Wladimir Klitschko) en kan ook heel aggressief zijn (zoals laatst tegen Golota).

Luan is een betere technicus dan Brewster geef hem een grote kans tegen Lamon. Lamon is gewoon overhyped na zijn 2 overwinningen
Krasniqi tegen Whitaker was volgens mij geen zuivere koffie.
Whitaker ging er helemaal voor staan in de zesde ronde :shock:
Maar Krasniqi is zeker geen slechte zwaargewicht.

Ik denk niet dat Krasniqi de stoten van Brewster verwerken kan. Als hij dat wel kan wint hij op punten of een late TKO.

Zo zou het wel eens kunnen verlopen. Vind di Krasniqi wel een leuke bokser maar heb het idee dat hij niet echt een KO in huis heeft..
Heeft iemand zijn record?
Record: 28-1-1 met 14 KO's

Lamon Brewster: Have title, will travel
By "Big Dog" Benny Henderson Jr. (August 4, 2005)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life isn’t easy for any fighter. Banging out victories, accepting defeat, taking on grown men whose very goal is to knock your head off, smashing the opposition just to be ridiculed by the media for not making it a spectacular event, or having your very career dissected and your flaws highlighted. Yeah, it’s a hard knock life and only the chosen few can play the game of boxing.
It doesn’t matter what weight class you bang in, you must face all who threaten your very existence in the sport, and sometimes you have to travel to do so and have your opponent’s hostile crowd up in your face. No it isn’t fun, it isn’t a vacation, it is reality and it is your job, and in a sport that is filled with harsh politics sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to survive, even if you must stare down the competition in his own backyard, or in this case country.
And that is just what Lamon Brewster is willing to do.
September 28th the WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster, 32-2 (28), will travel to Hamburg, Germany and defend his title against his mandatory contender Luan Krasniqi, 28-1-1 (14), in front of Krasniqi’s countrymen, and to add fuel to the fire the day the two square off will be the 100th birthday of the German boxing legend Max Schmeling.
Brewster, who has built his career on facing the upside of the mountain and overcoming the obstacles that real fighters face, seems to work better under pressure; in fact, it is an important part of his solid foundation. Witnessing the drug dealers rise and fall in the ghetto where Brewster lived, he overcame street gangs and the pressures to pursue the street thug life from having the presence and guidance of a very strong, spirit filled Mother.
Instead of fighting on the streets nowhere bound, the youngster laced up the gloves and fought in the ring as an amateur winning several titles under the tutelage of legendary boxing trainer Bill Slayton and at the age of twenty-three began his professional career, stopping his opponent in the opening round.
Even though there have been some bumps in the road to Brewster’s success, he has overcome, persevered and continued on, as many have. In April of ’04 and pretty much being overlooked as just a stepping stone for hard hitting Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, Brewster shocked the boxing world with a fifth round stoppage over the 6’6� powerhouse. In this bout Brewster showed massive heart and courage to overcome he own personal loss and turn it into triumph in the ring. Battling on after the death of his trainer and father figure Bill Slayton, Brewster absorbed an early onslaught of punishment before coming on strong to score a shock stoppage win. Even with the massive W on his record many fans and media looked at Brewster as a human punching bag and nothing more.
Five months later after capturing the WBO title in his first defense Brewster pulled off a close one over Australian Kali Meehan and while some felt Lamon lost, others believed he did enough to earn a close decision. Either way Brewster was still overlooked by most.
Taking on Hall of Fame trainer Jessie Reid, Brewster marched into Chicago to face hometown bad boy Andrew Golota last May, and in front of the very hostile crowd he demolished Golota in fifty-two seconds, dropping the homeboy three times to gain the victory in the first round.
So with all this being said, some still prefer to overlook Brewster, and in all honesty it doesn’t matter as it doesn’t affect the boxer or the man. Brewster knows his job has its pros and cons, and he is willing to fight on as many do everyday.
Does it make sense that the champion has to travel to the challenger’s home country to defend his title? In my opinion it doesn’t but as I stated before you have to do what you have to do to survive, but not everyone is willing to do so. “Some cherry pick their opponents and they sit around and don’t fight, but Lamon is willing to go anywhere and fight anybody. And I think that is something that the fans respect,� stated Sam Simon, Brewster’s long time manager.
Just a short period back IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd was grilled for not taking on the younger Klitschko in his homeland, and even though he has faced both brothers there before he turned down a massive payday to return. Vitali Klitschko came under fire for supposedly not wanting to face the winner of the upcoming Hasim Rahman versus Monte Barrett bout, and what in the world is up with John Ruiz? I do not doubt any titleholder in the heavyweight division; they should all have their props for even stepping in the ring, but why do so many continue to doubt the ‘Relentless One’ when he is doing just as much or more as the others? He fights, he entertains, and at this point he is the only champion willing to face a tough obstacle, even if that obstacle is out of his way. Sam Simon explained to the Doghouse, “Lamon went into Chicago which has a Polish community of two million people and fought in front of twenty thousand Andrew Golota fans, so there is no doubt about it, it is a tough fight but he is up for it.�
What about Brewster’s opponent, what is known of Luan Krasniqi? “We only know he is the mandatory,� laughs Simon. “And Lamon beat him in the amateurs. He say’s that he beat Lamon but it is just not true, we have a tape of it. You know the professionals and that amateurs are not the same thing so listen, if this guy thinks he beat Lamon, fine, we will see who wins September 28th.�
Krasniqi is coming off a 6th round stoppage win over Lance Whitaker in May, which was for the WBO number one spot. Krasniqi’s only defeat was at the hands of the Polish boxer Przemyslaw Saleta in the summer of 2002 when he wouldn’t come out of his corner in round nine, but nine months later he got his revenge with a first round TKO. The thirty-four year old German fighter has a victory over Sinan Samil Sam, who is ranked WBC #3, WBA #13 and IBF #5, and also fought to a draw with Timo Hoffmann who is #12 in the WBO. Krasniqi traveled to the U.S. once early in his career but pretty much has had the comfort of his home country.
What does this say about Lamon Brewster, willing to travel to another man’s turf to defend his strap? It says a hell of a lot about the man and the fighter. He isn’t running scared, he isn’t sitting on the sidelines comfortably watching the others face the opposition with his belt shining around his waist as some may be doing at this point. Brewster is continuing the race to once again prove he is not to be overlooked or left out. Triple H – humbleness, heart, and one hard left hand – can define Brewster.
This isn’t a walk in the park, this is not an easy task at hand, but this is boxing and it is never easy. This challenge just goes to further prove Brewster’s legitimacy in the heavyweight division; he has a title, and yes, he is willing to travel to defend it. So I say this in closing, to Lamon, go out and do your thing my brother and bring back the belt as quickly as possible. To Krasniqi and the Brewster doubters, don’t blink!

Hoop dat Brewster wint, Krasniqi is een heel goede bokser, maar word echt schijtziek van die Duitse boksers die alleen maar thuis durven te boksen.
Neem bijvoorbeeld de gestopte Ottke, die kerel heeft eigenlijk alleen in Duitsland gevochten. Tuurlijk hij was wereldkampioen Supermiddengewicht maar er zaten in zijn loopbaan echt heel veel dubieuze beslissingen. Geldt ook voor May, Samil Sam, Bayer enz.
Gulo Gulo, ik ben het helemaal met je eens (vooral bij Ottke - Reid was het heel erg). Er is maar 1 voordeel; je kan de wedstrijden live op televisie zien.

Daar heb je gelijk in Makijs, mooie blauwe ring met de Hasseröder-achtergrond. De Duitse tv weet in ieder geval wel op zo'n evenement in te springen.
Maar ik mis bij zulk soort wedstrijden het onpartijdige verslag, nu kan ik dat bij Duitse uitzending nog wel een beetje voorstellen, maar bij Eurosport zijn ze ook heel erg partijdig.
Eerlijk is eerlijk, Ottke was een van de weinige bokser die achteruit kon boksen. Hij heeft ook bijna nooit op ko gewonnen, uit mijn hoofd een keer of 5 / 6.
Daarom is het jammer dat de BBC geen boksen meer uitzendt. Die commentatoren hebben meer kennis en zijn iets neutraler.

Die Gala der Schwergewichtler
Krasniqi will gegen Brewster den Titel zurück nach Deutschland holen
Die Box-Nacht am 100.Geburtstag von Max Schmeling wird am 28. September zu einer Gala der Schwergewichtler (live im ZDF). Das Rahmenprogramm der WBO-Weltmeisterschaft zwischen Luan Krasniqi und Titelverteidiger Lamon Brewster (USA) in der Hamburger Color Line Arena werden ausschließlich Boxer aus der Königsklasse bestreiten.
http://www.zdf.de/ZDFde/img/47/0,1886,2497967,00.jpgKrasniqi will Schmeling beerben
Das kündigte die Hamburger Universum-Promotion in Hamburg an. Zweiter Hauptkämpfer der Veranstaltung ist der WBO- und IBF-Intercontinental-Meister Alexander Dimitrenko (Ukraine).
Versprechen an Max Schmeling
Vor dem Kampf seines Lebens präsentierte sich Herausforderer Krasniqi überaus zuversichtlich. "Mir geht es um das Versprechen an Max Schmeling, den Titel nach Deutschland zurückzuholen. Das werde ich auf jeden Fall einlösen", erklärte der 34 Jahre alte gebürtige Kosovo-Albaner, der von seinen bisherigen 30 Kämpfen nur einen verlor. Krasniqi will zu seinem Kampf auch Ex- Weltmeister Lennox Lewis (USA) einladen, für den er vor Jahren Sparringspartner war. "Ich bin sicher, dass er kommen wird", sagte er.
Krasniqi wird sich in den kommenden zwei Wochen in Berlin bei seinem Trainer Torsten Schmitz vorbereiten, ehe er wieder zurück in seine badische Heimat geht. Schmitz glaubt felsenfest an einen Sieg über den bulligen Amerikaner. "Luan muss seine schnellen Beine nutzen. Wenn er so boxt wie gegen Whitaker, wird er mit Sicherheit Weltmeister", meinte der frühere Weltklasse-Boxer.
Krasniqi hatte sich die WM-Chance am 28. Mai in Stuttgart mit einem K.o.-Sieg in der sechsten Runde über Brewsters Landsmann Lance Whitaker erkämpft.
Der frühere Europameister ist nach Max Schmeling, Karl Mildenburger, Axel Schulz und Willi Fischer der fünfte Deutsche, der in einem der vier großen Weltverbände nach einem Titel im Schwergewicht greift. Der Kampf gegen Brewster ist der insgesamt zehnte WM-Fight im Schwergewicht mit deutscher Beteiligung. Zwei wurden gewonnen, beide von Schmeling.
Sonderzüge zum "Kampf des Jahres"
Zum "Kampf des Jahres" in Deutschland kündigt sich ein volles Haus in der 16.000 Zuschauer fassenden Arena an. An den ersten zwei Tagen des Vorverkaufs sind bereits 1000 Karten abgesetzt worden. "Das gab es noch nie", berichtete Universum-Sprecher Christoph Rybarczyk. Aus Krasniqis Heimatort werden Busse und Sonderzüge nach Hamburg kommen.

Misschien is er iets mis met mijn Duits maar ik vind de Duitse commentaren juist heel erg kritisch over hun landgenoten.
Hoop dat Brewster wint, Krasniqi is een heel goede bokser, maar word echt schijtziek van die Duitse boksers die alleen maar thuis durven te boksen.
Neem bijvoorbeeld de gestopte Ottke, die kerel heeft eigenlijk alleen in Duitsland gevochten. Tuurlijk hij was wereldkampioen Supermiddengewicht maar er zaten in zijn loopbaan echt heel veel dubieuze beslissingen. Geldt ook voor May, Samil Sam, Bayer enz.
Voor Bayer kan dit wel gelden, maar voor Samil Sam vind ik niet, want hij heeft zijn meeste partijen in Duitsland op K.O. beslist.
Bayer tegen Eric Lucas was me er ook eentje.
"Krasniqi erlebt die zweite Runde nicht"

Brewster-Trainer Jesse Reid wettert gegen den deutschen WM-Anwärter
http://www.zdf.de/ZDFde/img/105/0,1886,2566761,00.jpg
Für Box-Weltmeister Lamon Brewster ist die Verteidigung seines WBO-Titels gegen Luan Krasniqi offenbar nur eine Formsache. Sein Trainer Jesse Reid lässt vor dem Duell in Hamburg am 28. September (22.15 Uhr live im ZDF) zu Ehren des 100. Geburtstags von Max Schmeling kein gutes Haar an dem deutschen Herausforderer.
Brewster werde "kein Problem haben, Krasniqi auszuknocken", sagte er der "Bild". "Wenn ich höre, was Krasniqi für Witzfiguren im Training hatte, lache ich mich kaputt."
Boxen am Donnerstag bei ZDFonline:
Luan Krasniqi und Lamon Brewster treffen sich zur Pressekonferenz in Hamburg. ZDFonline ist in Krasniqis Umfeld auf Stimmenfang gegangen. Verfolgen Sie am Donnerstag multimedial, was die Experten über den Kampf und die Kontrahenten zu sagen haben.
Gute Nacht, Luan?
Reid erwartet ein schnelles Ende des Kampfes in der Color-Line-Arena. "Wenn Krasniqi ein paar Hände kriegt, sage ich: Gute Nacht, Luan. Die zweite Runde wird Krasniqi nicht erleben." Brewster soll angeblich 120 bis 150 Mal pro Runde schlagen und den Rivalen geradezu überrollen.
Der 32 Jahre alte Weltmeister aus Los Angeles hat von 34 Kämpfen 32 gewonnen, darunter 28 durch K.o. Zu den Besiegten zählt auch Ex- Weltmeister Wladimir Klitschko, den er im April vergangenen Jahres durch Technischen K.o. in der 5. Runde bezwang.
Für Ex-Europameister Krasniqi aus dem Hamburger Universum-Boxstall ist es das erste WM- Duell seiner Karriere. 28 seiner 30 Profi-Kämpfe hat er gewonnen. Das WM-Herausforderrecht hatte der 34 Jahre alte gebürtige Kosovo-Albaner durch einen K.o.-Sieg über Brewsters Landsmann Lance Whitaker vor vier Monaten erworben.

Brewster wants to avoid a points decision on hostile territory
WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster defends his title against Luan Krasniqi in Hamburg on Wednesday, 28 September.
The American was impressive in stopping Andrew Golota last May, and will be a strong favourite to beat his opponent - an Albanian-born German.
But he will also have to overcome a partisan crowd on a date picked to coincide with what would have been the 100th birthday of Max Schmeling.
Germany's only former heavyweight champion died on 2 February, aged 99.
Krasniqi, who Schmeling took under his wing, said: "I promised Max I will bring the title back to Germany."
Brewster who won the WBO title against Wladimir Klitschko in April 2004, beat Golota in just 57 seconds in his opponent's hometown of Chicago.
"I always said I would fight a man in his living room and now I am getting to prove that," he said ahead of his meeting with Krasniqi.
"I think this tells the world that Lamon Brewster is the gamest heavyweight out there."
Brewster has the power to end the bout in Hamburg early, with 28 knockouts in a 32-2 record.
Krasniqi has been more boxer than puncher in compiling a 28-1-1 record with 14 knockouts.
But the 35-year-old did stop Lance Whitaker in six rounds to set up his title shot.
Krasniqi said: I'd like to follow Max Schmeling's footsteps and become world champion.
"But I will never fill his shoes. I could never live up to that. He is the greatest sportsman and man that Germany ever had."

Het laatste jaar ongeveer is het commentaar minder fout geworden en laten ze ook regelmatig weten dat de Duiste ringrechter weer een wanprestatie heeft geleverd. Langzaamaan gaat dat een beetje de goede kant op.
Eurosport kijk ik altijd met het Engelse commentaar en die gast veegt altijd flink de vloer aan met Duitse ringrechters.
boksen in duitsland is kut. Ik zie echt de meest schandalige jurybeslissingen daar.
