Arthur Abraham-Raul Marquez Moves To November 8

[jreckoning]

This just means that Abraham is ducking Hasim Rahman.

Abraham is faking injury to duck Raul Marquez. It's obvious. Any fighter who gets injured or sick is simply ducking their opponent. It's a NSB rule.

this is a ****ing comedy.LOL

This really sucks

He is weakened and dehydrated from shedding too much weight before the weigh in. I doubt he has the flu, but I don't doubt he feels like ****. I don't have an issue with it as the fight will still happen. They are doing this so the IBF don't strip his belt from him I think.

Yeah it sucks for Marquez and Abraham, but it is better than putting someone in who is unhealthy and could get seriously injured.

I know it comes down to the responsibility for the fighter to make weight, and I agree with that. You also have to consider that the health of the combatants should be held to a higher level.

I heard he had problems making weight so I'm not surprised.

It's a shame because Abraham would've gone on to bigger fights after this mandatory defense. Now we will have to wait.

That's right!

Both fighters looked just terrible at the weigh in. It was like their heads were photo shopped on someone else's body. Fighters need to start competing in more realistic weight classes.

Those pictures are hliarious

They have overbearing health care in Germany it seems. I have never had to be hospitalized for the flu before

I could understand if he was elderly.
