Arthur Abraham Drops, Stops Robert Stieglitz in Six

•Jul 18, 2015

The rivalry is over, as Arthur Abraham (43-4, 29KOs) retained his WBO super middleweight world title when he scored a sixth round stoppage win over Robert Stieglitz (47-6-1, 27KOs) in their fourth meeting. Stieglitz suffered a flash knockdown in the fourth round, but then he ate a huge shot in the sixth and went down. He beat the count, but his trainer threw in the towel. Abraham suffered a busted nose in round four and it gave him problems - but at the same time the challenger was second best throughout despite a high workrate and he kept missing with his big punches.

Arthur Abraham-Robert Stieglitz IV: Pre-Report Card

by Cliff Rold - The winner won’t be the best Super Middleweight in the world. Sometimes that’s not all that matters. After suffering three straight losses in the Super Six tournament to Andre Dirrell, Carl Froch, and Andre Ward, Arthur Abraham needed something to keep his career relevant. Robert Stieglitz, then the WBO titlist at 168 lbs., needed something to make him stand out as more than just the belted guy who wasn’t Ward or Froch. They found each other. Largely unappreciated outside Germany, Abraham and Stieglitz have given each other hell three times and get together one more time. Abraham holds the edge, 2-1, winning and regaining the title in the first and third bouts and losing by stoppage in the second. Despite the edge in the series, it’s still not clear who the better man is. That’s what matters Saturday. Can someone prove to be the better man once and for all? Or is this destined for a chapter five? Let’s go the report card.

It’s a rare enough occurrence for two top fighters to meet each other four times, and unprecedented that all four occasions come with a major title at stake. With that watershed moment came the formal announcement for the July 18 showdown between defending super middleweight titlist Arthur Abraham and former champ Robert Stieglitz. A press conference was held Thursday afternoon in Germany, with both fighters insisting they have the other figured out.
