Arthur"King Arthur" Abraham (38-4-0(28 KO) defended his WBO Inter-Continental super midlleweight title against Giovanni De Carolis from Italy. Arthur won by unanimous decision 120-108, 119-109, 119-109. The fight was really boring to watch. I can say that this was even more boring then Bernard Hopkins vs Karo Murat. What made it so boring was the fighting style of Carolis. I mean the absence of fighting from Carolis side. I don't know was he afraid to be hit into his pretty face, or Italians are afraid of some pain, but the guy was running for all 12 rounds. He was running in circles all the fight, and it was impossible from Arthur to make any action. By the way Arthur doesn't looked so good himself, he was unable to cut the ring and was chasing Carolis for all 12 rounds like a cat after a mouse.
Arthur was chasing him all the time
and he managed to land few single punches in each round. Carolis was
attacking very rare, but Arthur also always went to his defense stance
and it was so pitty to watch that joke of the fight. Well I understand
Carolis, he never fought outside Italy and such a famous boxing star
with such a power... It was seen with the naked eye the difference in
power section. Once Arthur almost dropped Carolis by single jab...
