Arthur Abraham is tired - tired of the insinuations that his first encounter with Paul Smith was a wrongful decision by judges in his favour. Therefore, the WBO super middleweight world champion wants to permanently settle the issue in less than two weeks with Paul Smith. Abraham has promised a battering on Smith on February 21st at Berlin's O2 World.
"I want to clearly make it clear who the is champion. Paul Smith had a good performance in the first fight, but I was just the better. I don't understand why he was out there whining and talking about a miscarriage of justice in some of the English media. Neither I nor the organizer determine the judges. As also the last time the world federation decides.
"The judges are trained for years for this job, and only when they proven themselves, they may be used for a world title fight. I'm not worried. In effect there is only one way to take the responsibility away from them - winning by knockout!
"This is rather extra motivation for me. Indeed, I believe that my fans this will feel even more angered, to assist me with heart and soul. And I promise you: Smith will not experience the twelfth round!"
