Team Sauerland Issue Statement on Alexander Abraham

[pesticid]

I knew the initial report was false as soon as I saw some 100k fine. So quickly, who came up with that fine bs? The story itself was believable in that Arthur's brother could've done smth ******, bu tthe quick 100k fine gave it away.

This was as he was leaving the arena. Nobody was attacked with chairs. They held chairs up as if they would throw them and were stopped by security.

So the "attacked with chairs" was bull****, just like "Alex kicked Miranda" was bull****.

People say stuff like that when they are emotionally excited and upset.

In the vid I can see Alex yelling at Miranda while Miranda is down and has some people around him but the angle would make it very hard for Alex to actually land a kick to Edison's head and if that was the case he would've been arrested right there. Instead he was allowed to parade with Arthur and only before the interview with Arthur he disappeared.

His story was exaggerated also. As quick as thing started, they were quelled quietly and without trouble.

Nothing unusual happened at 4:20 in the video. I don't see anyone trying to restrain Alex - they are just excitedly celebrating.

Alex just entered the ring, gestured to the crowd and then held up Arthur. There was no kick, and the scuffle happened much later.

Watch it again and again and again and again if you don't see anything.

The guy with the white bandana is trying to restrain Alex.

Alex lifts Arthur, then when he drops Arthur, he goes to the downed Miranda and the white bandana guy (one of Abraham's cornermen) who is checking Miranda's condition tries to hold him.

Stop at 4:21 and you can see Alex run at Miranda. 4:24 to see the white bandana guy try to hold him and 4:26 to see Abraham and the guy with blond hair stare at him.

This is after all of this. He was immediately taken out of the ring first, but continues to talk smack. People, possibly miranda fans start to make their way towards him, and he is still talking, and is finally taken out of the arena.

This release raised more questions. If he was attacked by Miranda's people with chairs, why was he the only person to get arrested?

Man, I 'm not saying that nothing happened there. This story had to come out of somewhere. Who knows what Alex said to Miranda. It's just that initial story did not make sense, that's all I was saying.

Now you're getting crazy, TheManchine.

No matter how many times I watch it I don't have those hallucinations.

I know you don't like European boxers and want to believe Miranda was kicked, but now mostly everybody else realizes there was no kick.

[Scott9945]

That makes sense.

Thanks for posting that - I hate seeing a false accusation smearing a great win by Abraham.

Even if the accusations were true, it still wouldn't diminish the brilliant performance by AA.

Never said there was a kick, it can't be seen (I said it may have happened because it has been reported) but it CAN be seen that Alex runs at a downed Miranda and he is held back by one of Abraham's cornermen, this is quite clear.

Others have seen this too, perhaps it is a mass hallucination by us self-hating Europeans?
