Abraham defeats Stieglitz for the WBO title! Post Fight Discussion here.

[BattlingNelson]

Tonight is the night for the longawaited clash between Robert Stieglitz and Arthur Abraham. These 2 transplanted germans do battle for Stieglitz WBO title at SMW.






The venue is the Berlin O2 arena. Abraham's homefield.









Stieglitz fights out of Magdeburg a couple of hundred kilometres south of Berlin also in East Germany.

Abraham is an iron chinned warriour. Stieglitz is a ... warriour. Stieglitz titlewinning effort against Balszay was a battle to behold. His chin is the questionmark. His wortrate isn't. Opposite goes for Abraham.


Here's the weigh-in:



The fight is shown live on german ARD and danish TV2 sport. Transmission starts at 23.00 CET.

CANT WAIT!

Toss up fight but I think AA wins pretty easily. He has faced the MUCH better opposition than Stieglitz, and if u look at AA losses, he only lost to Ward/Froch and Stieglitz name doesnt belong anywhere near those 2........unless father time has claimed AA or he didnt train he should get a late knock out......

either abraham hammers stieglitz down or stieglitz outworks abraham for ud

either abraham hammers stieglitz down or stieglitz outworks abraham for ud

I wouldn't rule out an AA win on points. He did outpoint Taylor who couldnt find a way through Abrahams shell defense and Taylor is a better technician than Stieglitz. But I agree that the outcome is likely to be a Stieglitz points win or Abraham KO.

Will it be this:

he's flawed to sh#t but the man can f#ckin ****, and his chin is terrific.
