I'm gonna try to catch this tomorrow.

I don't know when this fight is on or what channel but I am always excited about heavyweight fights. Dimitrenko is a young southpaw, he's big, he's trained by Wlad's (former) and Vitali's (current) trainer Fritz Sdunek. He's athletic and quick but lacks the power of the Klitschko's. Krasniqi is a solid old pro, he's not put out his best performances recently but he's a solid fighter with decent power and if he's able to weather the storm he could stop Dimitrenko.


I call for Dimitrenko to win on points (soundly) or by late stoppage.

Very good assessment...Dimitrenko should wins this and must if he wants a title chance...and a win for Krasniqi would put him up in the ranking again...either way a career deciding fight...

I think the winner and loser of this fight will be in consideration for the winner of the Haye-Barrett fight

Make weight? these guys are heavyweights they dont have a weight limit to make.

WBO #1 ranked heavyweight Alexander "Sascha" Dimitrenko (29-0, 19 KOs) scored an impressive third round knockout over former world title challenger Luan Krasniqi (30-4-1, 14 KOs) on Saturday night at the Burg-Wächter Castello in Düsseldorf, Germany. Coming back from a loss to Tony Thompson in a WBO eliminator 16 months ago, the 37-year-old Krasniqi knowing this is likely his last chance, took the fight to the 6'8 Dimitrenko and won the first two rounds. However in round three, the 26-year-old Dimitrenko landed a crushing left hook to the body, and Krasnigi collasped painfully to a knee for the full count. Time was 2:54. Dimitrenko retained his WBO Intercontinental belt and remained on a collision course for his Ukrainian countryman WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko. Heavyweight Denis Boytsov (23-0, 18 KOs) won an eight round unanimous decision over American fan favorite Vinny Maddalone (31-5, 22 KOs

I am still not sold on Dimitrenko's power....Krasniqi has been on the edge of being a journeyman for a while now. Ever since Brewster KO'd him he's been horrible...it's time for him to hang 'em up.

Actually Krasniqi made the fight...being more aggressive landing some good shots and having Alexander hurt...I think he won the first two rnds and was winning the third until Dimitrenko caught him with that left hook...

Dimitrenko's chin is questionable to begin with and his power is even more questionable, for him to KO Luan like that and on a body shot to boot...it just makes me question Krasniqi
