	~~Hi,~~

	~~this is my take on the fight. It was the best Super Middle fight I've seen in years. All action, ebb and flow, high drama, big punches, great stuff.~~

	Braehmer came out strong and took the first two rounds easy. Braehmer, was once touted as a "Boxer of the century", but it didnt look like it in the third. Velasco started walking thru him and getting bridging the gap nicely to land some bombs. Round to Velasco. Braehmer motored up in round four and took that in my book. Round five saw Velasco succeeding as he did in the third and he laid the harder punches. At this stage 48-47 for Braehmer in my book, but you could possibly score it higher for Braehmer.

	~~Round~~ 6 was pretty even till Velasco landed a straight right flush in Braehmers face. Braehmer absorbed the punch well, but half a second later when he went to retaliate with a right hook, he just collapsed and fell over his own feet like a complete drunk. It was a kind of delayed knock down. Braehmer was up at two and Velasco chased him around the ring and landed a few more good punches on Braehmer. Brahmer made it out of the round due to some very skilful rolling shoulder defence on the ropes. A 10-8 for Velasco, so 56-57 for Velasco in my book. Unbelievably, the English judge scored the round only 10-9 for Velasco, a disgrace.

	Round 7 was spectacular. Braehmer gave up all intentions of boxing and judge went back to what he was good at, throwing bombs. He and Velasco went for it toe to toe with Braehmer getting the best of it. A great come back round after the knock down. More of the same in round 8, with Braehmer practically closing Velasco's left eye. At this stage Braehmer 76-75 in my book.

	Round 9 and Braehmer took his foot of the gas after two busy rounds. Velasco used his chance and upped the work rate despite an ugly swelling eye. Velasco takes the round narrowly in my book, although Braehmer landed some bombs. Round 10 and 11 and Braehmer just stopped throwing punches. He seemed to be stalking Velasco with menace, looking to get the big punch off, but would just not throw. Velasco on the other hand was showing great legs. Bouncing all round the ring and then suddenly darting in to land some good solid punches on Braehmer. Round 9 was close, but round 10 and 11 went to Velasco clearly in my book. At this stage 103-105 Velasco.

	Round 12 was the perfect end to the fight. Both boxers looked in good shape and threw tonnes of leather at each other with Braehmer getting the better of it. Velasco looked hurt at the end of the round and was reduced to clinching right at the end. Braehmers round, though it wasnt completely one sided. That made it 113-114 for Valesco in my book. In other words, six rounds each and one point advantage for the ko-round. Braehmers corner was pretty confident going into the twelth, they must have had an eye on the scorecards, because the fight was damm close in the spectators eyes.

	The scores were announced. UD for Braehmer 115-112 twice and 117-111. You could understand the 115-112, that was 8 rounds to 4 for Braehmer, there were a couple of close rounds in there. But to score it 9 rounds to 3 and not credit the knock down, that was just a disgrace.

	After the German crowd of about 5000 heard the result, they booed non-stop for five minutes. Braehmer was a bit incredulous, as he thought he fought a brave fight, which he did. But the German crowd didnt care, they only wanted Velasco on the mike. When it was finally Velasco's turn to speak, the crowd cheered him loudly, making him feel like a winner for a while. When asked to compare Abraham, Sturm and Braehmer, Velasco said that Abraham was the most difficult fighter and hit the hardest. Unlike the poster above claimed, Braehmer said nothing about Calzaghe. Personally, I think unless Braehmer sticks with what he knows best i.e. bombing away, he's going nowhere higher in this division.
