Comments Thread For: Stieglitz Gains Revenge, Stops Abraham After Three

[Weebler I]

So what you're trying to say is that Steiglitz is slick and old school? I didn't see any intentional headbutts certainly not worthy of being compared to Ward's.

I think Stieglitz won the first round fairly, he led with the head at times but never connected. However, in the second round Stieglitz then came out and....

* headbutted him at the start of round 2 - 16:00 on video, ref warns him
* then again later in round 2 - 16:45 on video, ref warns him again - but this one should have been a point off

Stieglitz came in there and took Abraham nuts why is everybody mad it was a pretty good figth of Abraham geting spade

[Spray_resistant]

Was impressed with how relentlessly Stieglitz just took the fight to AA, didn't see the exact cause of the eye swelling but AA looked terrible from the start and let Robert dictate the pace and do whatever he wanted.

If he's getting stopped by the likes of Stieglitz, I think its time for Abraham to consider his career. He was always a force to be reckoned with, and hes had a pretty good career.

shame it was stopped early I was enjoying that scrap. AA wasn't dealing with RS very well but he was able to hurt him and it looked like it was gonna be a war.

I'd watch a third fight

Such an outcome would never happen again. The one eye was shut down completely in the second round already, thats the only reason how Stieglitz could get away with his bumrush tactic. He could have never fought that way for 12 rounds. We need another fight. Its 1-1 now. the third fight has to happen! Thats not a true loss for Abe in my eyes. Its not normal to have your eye completely shut in the second round, especially not for Arthur!

Arthur looked like he didn't want to be there as early as the walkout. In the fight he just did his usual turtle shell defense while being thrown at. He didn't expect as much aggression IMO and was caught pretty well at the end of (I believe the 2nd). The eye swelled in like four seconds, so I'm a bit curious if it was actually a punch, which I think is what AA's corner was banking on when they rushed to stop the fight. There will be a **** load of tape being watched and if there is anything close to a headbutt in there we will be seeing a challenge to this fight. The wanted it stopped before they would have to go to the cards. Neither guy was impressive and I hope we don't see a third.

With that pace Stiglitz was prepared for a 4-5 round fight. If he wasn't going to get Abraham by then, he was going to be done. That's why he went over the board and attacked with his head. A third fight is a must. If I didn't know Abrahams style, I would say he looked bad, but that's his style. He always starts like that and opens up in the deep waters. Only Froch and Direll could outlast that style.

[Slowhand]

AA was waiting for RS to gas out - as he would have at that pace - but it was a perfect straight right right hand that wobbled Arthur and damaged the eye. So, Stieglitz went for double or nothing and it paid off. Simple as that.

So... Lets see how this will pan out?
George Groves assumingly will fight Robert Stieglitz
Kessler will fight Froch...
The winner of Kessler and Froch will fight?
Winner of Jean Pascal vs Lucian Bute I'm guessing...
Then Groves vs Stieglitz winner faces off against I have no idea maybe Abraham?

I don't think Groves can beat Stieglitz...
