Arthur"King Arthur" Abraham(37-4-0(28 KO) rated number 9 in the world and number 2 in Germany will defend his WBO Inter-Continental super middleweight title against Giovanni De Carolis(20-4-0(10 KO) rated number 48 in the world and number 2 in Italy on this Saturday night, October 26 in Germany. Arthur is 33 years old and he is little older than his opponent who is 29.
Arthur comes to this fight after his controversial win against Willbeforce Shihepo on August this year. Arthur won the fight by unanimous decision, as he is a big star and he fought in his home country - Germany. Many people saw Arthur loosing that fight, but I do not agree with them, Shihepo was able to throw a lot of punches, but he connected very little, as he was always hitting Arthurs hands, while Arthur was able to attack in furies and land big shots every round. Before that fight he lost his WBO super midlleweight title to Robert Stieglitz on March this year, when because of big beating a cut opened over Arthurs eye and he was unable to continue.
Giovanni De Carolis is unknown boxer
for me. He fights only in Italy and it will be his first fight outside
his homeland. He won his last 7 fights against some joke boxers from
Italy. He won against Artem Solomko(11-21) by TKO round 4, and against
Zoltan Kiss Jr.(26-11) by TKO round 1 this year. Well the guy has some
power in his fists, but he is just a B class European boxer and Arthur
is one of the top boxers in the world.
I believe De Carolis is very good
opponent for Arthur to look good. Arthur looks bad against pure boxers,
but he looks very good against brawlers and punchers. He needs to
knockout Carolis and to do it impressive if he wants his rematch against
Stieglitz to look exciting. Cause now he looks poor in his fights and
it looks like maybe he do not deserve a shot for the world title...
