Arthur Abraham To Make US Debut on June 21

[Pantera2000]

Best matchup for Abraham would be against John Duddy. AA would knock him out.

Haha. Scared Pantera is gonna kick your boy's ass again! Duddy is a joke. Grow some balls child.

that article is full of misinformation.

1. that fight wasnt spectacular... lol.. it was ****

2. when they quote ayala they misquote him, what he actually said is that abraham caught him with a lucky punch. lucky or not its not good journalism to intentionally misquote a fighter in a press release.

My guess is they will put Abraham in against somebody with a recognizable name in the US. If they don't, what does the fight do for Abraham. If he fights an unknown and struggles, does that jeopardize Pavlik-Abraham like it did Pavlik-Duddy? I would love to see Abraham-Duddy. Duddy doesn't deserve it, but it would still be an entertaining fight and have a big following

possible opponents:

enrique ornelas
joey gilbert
raul marquez
raymond joval

i think the perfect matchup would be brian vera, he will stand and fight and it will be entertaining. vera just knocked out lee on ESPN plus with his contender status he is much more well known that the above named fighters.

IBF middleweight champion King Arthur Abraham is ready to conquer America after his 12th-round KO victory over Elvin Ayala. The undefeated 28-year-old dropped his opponent with a huge left uppercut with 28 seconds to go in the final round to clinch his 26th victory in as many fights (21 KOs). "Arthur will fight in the U.S. on June 21," manager Wilfried Sauerland said afterwards. "I would have loved to reveal the opponent tonight but the contracts have yet to be signed. All I can say is that it will be a true highlight." [details]

Good news, glad to hear it.

Since, he won't try to unify the titles until late this year, put him against Winky Wright, the other real fight he needs!

I bet it's Giovanni Lorenzo. There were talks of him fighting AA on June 7th on the Kelly Pavlik undercard originally at MSG, but seeing as how it isn't there anymore I think that got scrapped.

Lorenzo would be a big step up for AA (atleast from his last 4 guys) and it would be a good match up.
