Danish Bout To Bet On Beckons For Nisse’s Biggest Boxers

The third Nordic Fight Night, Collision Course, was another success for Nisse Sauerland and his promotion team, bringing together a great collection of bouts in the Arena Nord to showcase Scandinavian boxing, but whilst there were thrills and spills galore in the ring it’s the big fight to come the results heralded that will be the Danish bout to bet on this year.

There’s been an inevitability about this since Rudy Markussen decided to return from his near three year sabbatical, and Patrick Nielsen moved up to Super Middleweight and took the WBA International title. There’s no love lost between them, they’re both hugely popular amongst fight fans and they’ve both a proven record of determination, perseverance and the basic core skills that separate the top tier of boxing from the wannabees and posers.

Nielsen Vs Markussen Is On

• Arena Nord saw set up fights
• Both men won with Kos
• Match up likely this year

Indeed if the fights hadn’t fallen in the manner they did, giving both men the chance to face off against each other sometime soon you get the feeling they’d have sorted out themselves in a back-alley of Copenhagen because however much fight fans want to see a Danish bout to bet on between these big men, that’s as to nothing in comparison to the desire each of them seem to possess to put this rivalry to rest one way or another.

Their fights in Arena Nord only just done they both rushed to have a little dig at each other in their post bout comments and you can just tell this is going to be a grudge match of epic proportions and those of you who like to bet on sports in Denmark are unlikely to find a better Danish bout to bet on anytime soon, so you can expect a roaring trade at the likes of ComeOn! Sportsbook or whatever Bet365 proxy site is best as fans take sides and put their money where their opinions are.

Dual Knock Outs Serve Up Danish Duel To Come

Samir Santos Barbosa was Nielsen’s opponent in Arena Nord and that only lasted till the fourth round despite the visitor from Brazil having had to pick himself up off the canvas during the second, and struggling gainfully to find a toe-hold in the fight that Nielsen than put beyond question with a left hook flooring Barbosa to the delight of both fans and the fighter himself who knows the result brought him and fight aficionados the world over closer to that Danish bout to bet on against Markussen.

Rudy Markussen was matched up against the superbly named Georgian, Ramazi Gogichashvili whose record was a claimed 19-7-2. Unfortunately for the big man from Georgia his boxing skills didn’t seem to reflect that and despite Rudy looking a tad rusty and a just a little over eager the fight didn’t make it till the end of the first round. Markussen knocked his opponent down, then when he got up, Markussen’s right sealed the deal there and then.

With both men victorious their path towards fighting each other is clear and open, and you can just bet that Nisse Sauerland is positively salivating at the prospect of such a great Danish bout to bet on, watch and revel in. It is certain he’ll be gambling news of this pairing will draw in the crowds, attract media attention at home and abroad and raise the profile of Scandinavian boxing even more than his efforts have already achieved.

Fighters Tout Danish Bout To Bet On With Post-Fight Posturing

“I was pleased with my performance.” Said Nielsen reflecting perhaps that this was his first KO win since moving up, “It feels great to have got the stoppage.” He admitted quickly covering any relief that might have shown through in his voice by saying; “This is the first of many for me at Super Middleweight. From now on I’m only going to get better and better. Now I’m ready for the big fights.” Which really could only be a reference to one opponent. Markussen.

“To me,” Nielsen opined, “Rudy is just a stepping-stone on my way to challenge for World titles. He may have won tonight, but against me, he will taste defeat again and wish he’d never come out of retirement.” Which is nicely dismissive but wholly untrue. Beating Markussen in a Danish bout to bet on right now probably eclipses everything else including a shot at a world title, their rivalry going much deeper than as between any other pair of ho-hum boxers.

“It felt great to be back in the ring.” Markussen enthused after his bout. “The pressure was on but I delivered.” He went on to say of his opponent and prospective future opposition in that Danish bout to bet on we all want to see; “He hit hard, but I hit harder. I’m still the “Hard Hitter” and everyone knows it’s a big risk for Patrick to fight me.” Which won’t stop him for a moment and there’ll be plenty of people taking advantage of Danish gambling laws when these two come up against each other, but who will you put your money on?
