by David P. Greisman - Piotr Wilczewski faced a difficult enough task by being a fighter with little power stepping into a ring in Germany against the heavy hands of Arthur Abraham.
And so it came as no surprise when the scorecards showed a wide unanimous decision for Abraham — 118-109, 118-109 and 119-108.
Abraham landed fewer, but he landed harder.
This super-middleweight bout was a contest of contrasts. Wilczewski, who had scored knockouts in just one-third of his 30 wins, would have to rely on activity. Abraham, who had won via knockout in all but six of his victories, would once again pick his spots when he would unleash thudding power punches.
Abraham, typically a slow starter, came out with more aggression, leading with a left hook to the body, then countering Wilczewski with a right hand. Wilczewski soon took the lead in the action, working his punches around Abraham’s high guard. Abraham either sought spots for quick counter shots, or waited for Wilczewski to finish before returning fire with shoeshine volleys. [Click Here To Read More]
