Arthur "King Arthur" Abraham (38-4-0(28 KO) rated number 2 in Germany and number 10 in the world will face for the third time another German Robert Stieglitz(46-3-0(26 KO) rated number 1 in Germany and number 3 in the world on this Saturday, March 1 in GETEC Arena, Magdeburg, Germany. This will be a 12 rounds bout with WBO super middleweight title at stake.
Arthur Abraham comes to this fight
after poor performance against "no name" Italian Giovanni De
Carolis(20-4) on September 2013. Abraham won the fight by unanimous
decision but the fight was boring to watch big cat and mouse game, where
Italian was running like mad from Arthur for all 12 rounds and Arthur
was just incapable to cut the ring and finish the clown. Before that
Abraham won by unanimous decision against Willbeforce Shihepo(20-6) from
Namibia on August 2013. Some boxing writers and experts saw this fight
as a close one, but I believe Abraham was more accurate with his big
punches and Shihepo didn't connect anything big clean. He was just
throwing his jab over and over again, and that jab had absolutely no
effect on Abraham.
Robert Stieglitz comes to this fight
after an easy victory by unanimous decision against Isaac Ekpo(22-1)
from Nigeria on September 2013. Before that he won by TKO round 10
against Yuzo Kiyota(23-3-1) from Japan on July 2013.
This will be the third time these two
will meet. First time Abraham took control of the fight and won an easy
fight against Stieglitz on 2012, but in the rematch Stieglitz unload a
fury of shots from the beginning and Abraham wasn't able to see with one
eye on the end of round 3. The fight was stopped and Stieglitz became a
new champion with TKO victory over Arthur Abraham....
