Nieky Holzken replaces Braehmer in SMW WBSS Semi-Final

doesn't look good for Holzken - won't watch the rest of this.
 
Nieky losing all rounds but doing better then imagined.
 
Holzken looks like someone who didn't really train fo a 12 round fight and is clearly outmatched.
Still, he seems to have good power and at least he's trying, not that bad for a short noice fight and being a kickboxer with limited boxing experience.
 
Holzken eating that jab all night long. It's that damn dutch style. Otherwise he's having his moments actually, but just not pulling the trigger enough.

The left hook to the body is his money punch, a bit late for that now though.
 
Smith is jab-jab-right-hand The Fighter

Joe Gallagher fighters are the worst

He should have thriwn that conistently from the first round on I don't know why he is only headhunting. Also he always tries to counter Smith's uppercut with a left hook and Smith ducks it almost every single time, why isn't Holzken countering with an uppercut? If he would go the the body it wouldnt even matter as much and Smith wouldn't be able to move out of the way

Would Smith actually beat Brähmer? He doesn't look like a worldbeater...

Nope. I had Brahmer because Brahmer was a better boxer and has experience dealing with bigger opponents. Smith is actual trash. Domestic level. Groves is going to drop bombs on his head until he goes to sleep.

Thing is that Nieky needs to get his opponent to stop moving and shell up to be at his best. He always walked people down in kickboxing too, and when he could get their backs on the fence and stop them from moving he is vicious. When he can't do that though, he struggles.

Definitely trying to go to the body earlier would have helped him though. He has flashed of some really good stuff, and iron chin, puts on pressure and his left hook to the body is as good as anyone in boxing. If he was able to cut the ring off better and be more active he'd be closer to his full potential.

He seems to have some power early on, but Groves should be able to clearly win that fight.

He's going to struggle to find Groves, if he wants to - he'll have to be the aggressor and that means walking onto big right hand counters. Groves won't be standing in front of him like Holzken is.

The fight just happened way too soon for him, it could be a good learning experience and maybe he'll improve.

Pretty much a heavy bag hero.

 
Good for Holzken going all 12. He exceeded my expectations. Smith actually failed to meet them, and they were already low as shit.
