Cohen Predicting Brant Will Achieve a ‘Changing of the GuardAgainst Former Champ Braehmer on October 27

Greg Cohen, promoter of middleweight/super middleweight contender Rob Brant, says his undefeated fighter is headed for achanging of the guardfight against Juergen Braehmer.
Brant (22-0, 15 KO) and Braehmer (48-3, 35 KO) will meet on Friday October 27, at the Kongresshalle in Schwerin, Duitsland, as part of the World Boxing Super Seriessuper middleweight division.
The 38-year-old Braehmer is a long-time light heavyweight world champion, who hasn’t fought at super middleweight in a decade. A star in his native Germany, where the fight is taking place, Braehmer seems to be on the tail end of a distinguished career.
27-jarige Brant, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, is the dark horse in this tournament. With comparatively much fewer professional titles and accomplishments thus far in his career, Brant would seem to be taking a huge risk with his undefeated career.
Niet zo, says Cohen.
We think Robert Brant is going to win this whole tournament,” zei Cohen. “You have the perfect ‘changing of the guardtype of fight here: an undefeated young buck against an aging former champion.
Maar, says Cohen, there are some hidden factors at play in this fight.
Braehmer is coming down in weight for the fist time in eight or nine years and hasn’t fought since losing his title via TKO stoppage late last year. Ondertussen, Rob has shown constant improvement in each of his fights over the past few years. He’s a world-class fighter on the verge of becoming a household name.
So confident was Team Brant that Cohen says they have no problem going into the old lion’s den to fight.

Rob doesn’t care where they fight. He knows he’s got too much for Braehmer. This fight will be his FORMAL introduction to the boxing world. He’s in top shape and ready for anything coming his way. Na deze strijd, Rob Brant will no longer be the secret wild card of the tournament. He’s going to win the whole thing.

Born in Kosovo, the 29-year-old Krasniqi (46-4, 17 KO) is a former European and WBO International Light Heavyweight Champion, who resides in Munich, Germany and packs a thunderous punch. Three fights ago, he moved down in weight from Light Heavyweight to Super Middleweight, winning all three bouts at the new weight class and looking highly impressive.
In 2013, Krasniqi lost his first world title shot by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to defending WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion Nathan Slim (25-0), in Londen, by way of a hard-fought 12-round decision.
Following his first career defeat, Krasniqi went on to capture the WBO International Light Heavyweight Title with a seventh-round knockout of previously undefeated Emmanuel Danso (20-0), and has since defended that belt. Krasniqi won the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental Light Heavyweight Title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Oleksandr Cherviak (14-3-1).
In 2014, Krasniqi successfully defended those two championships, taking a 12-round unanimous decision from Dariusz Sek (21-1-1), which set up his second world title shot, Maart 21, 2015 in Duitsland, against long-time defending WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Juergan Braehmer (45-2) in a massive all-German world title showdown. Krasniqi was unable to answer the bell for the 10th round but learned that he should drop a weight class. Since moving down to Super Middleweight, Krasniqi has looked impressive but Abraham will surely be the biggest test of his career.
Rated No. 2 van de WBO, Abraham (45-5, 30 KO) has positioned himself for another world title shot as the winner of his Apr. 22nd eliminator with Krasniqi will become the mandatory challenger for reigning WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Gilberto Ramirez, van Mexico. Abraham lost his WBO crown by way a 12-round unanimous decision to Ramirez in Las Vegas in 2016 but must win against Krasniqi to have an opportunity at regaining his title.
The 37-year-old Abraham, a native of Armenia who lives in Berlin, Duitsland, is a two-time WBO (World Boxing Organization) Super middengewicht kampioen, as well as the former International Boxing Federation (IBF) Middengewicht wereldkampioen. The knockout artist has a remarkable 18-4 (9 KO) record in world championship bouts and is 7-4 (4 KO) tegen voormalige of huidige wereldkampioenen. Noted victims during his 16-½ year professional career reads like a Who’s Who of Boxing in the 160 en divisies van 168 pond, inclusief wereldkampioenen Raul Marquez, Hector Javier Velazco, Jermain Taylor, Robert Stieglitz driemaal, en Giovanni de Carolis. Abraham heeft ook tegenstanders van wereldklasse verslagen, zoals Martin Murray, Paul Smith tweemaal, Lajuan Simon, Edison Miranda tweemaal. Khoren Gevor, Sebastiaan Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke en Howard Eastman.
Vier van Abrahams vijf verliezen in zijn carrière waren voor wereldkampioenen Carl Froch, Andre Ward, Robert Stieglitz en Gilberto Ramirez. Stieglitz is de enige tegenstander die Abraham tegenhoudt, who has won nine of his last 10 gevechten, the most recent an eighth-round technical knockout of Tim Robin Lihaug (15-1) this past July in Germany for the vacant WBO International Super Middleweight Title.
