The German version of Arturo Gatti-Thomas Ulrich lost European LHW Title !!!

[JohnnyKickAss]

Former European Light Heavy Weight champion Thomas Ulrich lost his title against Yuri Barashian...

I call Ulrich the German Arturo Gatti because he is a big puncher, okay boxer,
has a lot of heart and no defense at all...

The fight itself was a thriller...going back and fore with big punches and both boxer wobbled...at end of the 5th rnd it looked like Ulrich would go down or the ref stopping it.Ulrich was saved by the bell only to come back big in the 6th rnd having Barashian near a ko.But in the 7th rnd the southpaw Barashian finally found Ulrich Achilles heel and digged to the body knocking down 3 times,Ulrich safed himself to the bell.In the 8th rnd another bodyshot to the liver put Ulrich down the ref stopped it at that point...Great and entertaining fight from both boxer...

Barshain might become a name in the LHW division...good boxer...
For Ulrich its more or less over with the career,which is sad I liked him alot...

I've seen the Glen, Branco and Adamek fights...
I thought Ulrich was gonna pull it off.

How gutted must Ulrich be?!?! This guy comes in at late notice and beats him. On the plus side, we can't let Germany dominate the European boxing scene, it already seems that most of European boxing outside of Britain seems to happen there.

Sorry bro, my bad. As usual, I wade in without checking the whole facts. TBH with you, it's probably beneficial to have the best of the Germans and Eastern Europe all fighting in two or three big stables over there....helps to make things simple and better profile for us foreigners.
