Keri Crusher Crothers-Scarr VS. Germain DeRandami

[TD]

Hey Marcel...are you going to this fight in Holland on May 19th?

If so, a report would be greatly appreciated.

Keri's been boxing alot but she faces one of the baddest ladies ever to step into the MT ring.

They say Germaine is the next Lucia Rijker. I saw the short fight she fought with the very skilled Angie Rivera-Parr and was totally blown away with her technique-power-speed-ferocity. I would venture to say, she might even have beaten a Lucia IN HER PRIME Rijker!

However, Keri has a plan and a mission and a new set of greatly improved hand skills. She also has the heart of a lion so it should make a great fight- TWO FIGHTERS MAKE FIGHTS...styles be danged.

CRUSH HER KERI!

L-R: Germaine de Randamie, Keri Crothers-Scar

Keri's boxing activity cant hurt. But it would help more if this was kickboxing or full contact rules, where the boxers crouch and weaving and bobbing could be utilized with less risk-but in MT rules those tactics present a risk of being kneed.

DAN- boxing does not equal "bobbing and weaving low and or under", see Lennox Lewis for the European stance and technique. Matter of fact, side to side has replaced low and under as the "way in". You have a limited view of what boxing is. The best boxers are the best movers.

Rivera got knocked out because she is NOT that skilled of a boxer...as she likes/has a tendancy to drop her hands ( usually when kicking). Germaine knocked her out with a kick as Rivera lunged forward throwing a punch and her hands dropped ( not as much as they used to). If Rivera had better hand technique ( boxing defense) she might have defused that kick. To her defense, she never saw it coming as Germaine exploded the kick...but Germaine did she Angie load up to punch ( the tell of a kickboxer using their fists).

The europeans are all straight up fighters. Even ricky hatton's attack is a side to side to side move.





will Keri's SP stance bother Germaine? probably not that much -as the MT stance being squared to one's opponent somewhat lessens the SP advantage

A lefty stance is always an advantage. Like Naoko didn't cash in with her left leg!?!?! Yes Keri's stance will bother Germaine, lefties always do. But that's not what is going to win this fight for Keri. She's driven. And ready to rock. I know Keri can take a shot, but can Germaine? We are about to find out.

I have talked with Keri...and I had some "thoughts" about GDR. I know Keri will fight her heart out. I had Germaine at 5'8" and Keri at 5'9.5" give or take .75" with either.

Germaine does one thing that messes with every fighters head...she's calm, almost peaceful...she comes out slow and looks and then she explodes. From the milli-second she sees opening to the time it takes to fire into that opening is mind boggling...so thinking she is slow is a trick. Lucia just made her own openings.

NO, Keri is NOT a squared up fighter. Almost no power in that. She's very one side dominent and so is Germaine.

So can Keri drop a bomb on Germaine? Oh yeah. Lucia always hyper-responded to any punch landed. We'll see if Germaine does.

And Keri has one hell of a chin. She's been tested.

Both Mixfight and Kickbox.nl report a first round KO win for Germaine.

Details will follow later since the event is still ongoing. But these first reports says Germaine Ko-d her with a knee.

Sorry to hear that. Dang!!! I know Keri went all out...germaine is dam explosive!

It looks like Keri tried to dis-engage in close/in clinch by pulling back, giving Germaine the little bit of room she needed for her knees. It looked like Keri was out on the canvas so she caught one on the chin. I hope she comes back. I know she went all out and gave it everything she had. Problem fighting Germaine is she explosive outside-inside-in between with hands, feet and knees.

AS for Germaine, well her career is over. Nobody is going to fight her now. She's knocked out the world.
