Neubrandenburg, Germany, Dec. 14
Juergen Braehmer vs. Marcus Oliveira, 12 rounds, WBA light heavyweight title
Braehmer (41-2, 31 KO), a southpaw with a decent amount of skill and power, has had his ups and downs throughout his career, but he’ll be looking to make up for lost time in a very intriguing bout against a question mark in Oliveira (25-0-1, 20 KO), who has been known for making the most out of his step-up opportunities, just like he did when he upset previously unbeaten Ryan Coyne back in April. With the way things are going at 175 lbs, is this fight goes as well as expected the winner could be headed towards some serious high-profile matchup in the US or Canada in the short term.
What to look for in this fight: The local court advantage should be more than enough for Braehmer to get a solid win against a respectable opponent.
