Mario Veit's surprising win over previously unbeaten WBC #2 Jürgen Brähmer on Saturday night in Munich has shaken things up in the super middleweight division. Just seconds before the end of the first round, Brähmer landed a right and left combination that dropped Veit. The two-time title challenger Veit, however, came back to win a narrow decision.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brähmer said after the fight, "After the knockdown, I felt confident I'd win the fight but at some point I felt tired and couldn't give more. Mario fought a brilliant fight." Veit stated, "I'm really happy to have shown critics that I can still do it. Not many expected that I would win. I'm looking forward to my next fight, hopefully against a southpaw like Markus Beyer!" Veit's promoter Klaus–Peter Kohl added, "This fight is very interesting for boxing fans in Germany."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beyer's handlers, however, aren't so hot on making a fight betwen the WBC super middleweight champion Beyer and Veit. "For Markus the WBC mandatory defense against Maxican Librado Andrade is already arranged," said Sauerland Sport Director Hagen Doering. "In addition, we're working on a title unification fight between Markus and Joe Calzaghe. For Markus, a fight against Veit is not on the agenda."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Universum intra-stall duel between Brähmer and Veit was the second on this year for the Hamburg-based boxing powerhouse. Back in March, unbeaten heavyweights Ruslan Chagaev and Vladimir Virchis collided with Chagaev winning a majority decision. A third stall-duel is planned for July 29 in Oberhausen when world champion Zsolt Erdei of Hungary will defend against Berliner Thomas Ulrich.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I would do it again," said Kohl on the decision to pit his two super middleweight stars against each other. "We simply had to see who is better, is stronger, on who we can build in the future." The Universum chief also made it clear he will continue to stand by his "hundred year talent" Brähmer, vowing "We will make up for this setback."

My mistake. I think in the end...the best thing for Beyer to do is get a multi million dollar deal to fight Calzaghe because pretty soon...Beyer's gonna get burnt.
Re: Veit beats Brahmer...that does some shifting at 168lbs...whachuthink?
i would like to see beyer get in there with joe....that would mean 3 belts and perhaps it would tempt him to finish the job with kessler....
now thats the fight i wanna see ;)

You and me both.
I don't know why I'm such a stickler for Calzaghe pulling a UNI bout tour...but I am.
He could do it too...easily. I think that he'd blow Beyer the fwock out & he'd outland Kess.

Veit is not a factor in the division. He had his chance twice and blew them
Re: Veit beats Brahmer...that does some shifting at 168lbs...whachuthink?
He is a factor, he got his two chances against the best of the bunch and came up short, he cant beat Calzaghe, but he can beat and has beat alot of decent fighters.

I think Veit is looking at Beyer, and on Saturdays form, he has a decent chance...

Beyer's handlers, however, aren't so hot on making a fight betwen the WBC super middleweight champion Beyer and Veit. "For Markus the WBC mandatory defense against Maxican Librado Andrade is already arranged," said Sauerland Sport Director Hagen Doering. "In addition, we're working on a title unification fight between Markus and Joe Calzaghe. For Markus, a fight against Veit is not on the agenda."
Beyers handlers aren't hot on making any fight, and I for the life of me can't understand why anyone cares to see him.. Who the hell is Maxican Librado Andrade.. How lame, however his last fight was a nobody and he was on his way to losing that so I guess you never know ::**. Besides he only won the title on a German decision, for anyone who hasn't seen the fight, Eric Lucas beat his ass and was robbed. And Lucas was no great champ, but he was robbed nonetheless, crystal clear. Beyer was getting whipped by Danny Green until a lucky technical decision, and his last fight was the exact same way... It was turning really bad for Beyer and he was taking some big shots, then a headbutt saved him again. Beyer sucks, a fight with Calzaghe would suck, Eric Lucas could come out of retirement and give Joe about as competitive a match up... Trust me, Kessler is better than Beyer.. Lucas said Kessler is the 2nd best fighter he's ever been in against behind Roy Jones obviously.. and like it or not Lucas whipped Beyers ass.

Beyer needs to fight Bika more then anyone imo.
