Back from a tiny hiatus to congratulate new WBO Super Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham. He earned a unanimous points win to dethrone champion Robert Stieglitz on August 25, 2012, in Berlin, Germany. Here is a brief analysis of Abraham's fight:
He started strongly, but the champion twice pinned him on the ropes in the second round and started to exert his authority. Stieglitz raised the tempo in the third and Abraham fell was behind on points going into the fourth. He responded with combinations to the body and head and one sharp hook left Stieglitz with swelling above his left eye.By the fifth, Stieglitz's face was marked and Abraham started to let his guard drop to lure the champion into mistakes.Stieglitz put together some good combinations in the seventh round and kept up his impressive work-rate, despite a cut above his right eye needing the attention of the ring doctor in the tenth.
Abraham, who was born in Yerevan, now resides and trains in Germany. He has stated that Mike Tyson was his inspiration to become a fighter. Now crowned the champion, he has his sights on defending his belt against the likes of Daniel Geale or Felix Sturm. Here is some further insight on these possibilities:
