Comments Thread For: Photos: Stieglitz Badly Damages Abraham's Eye For TKO

[StillAlive2k]

Im glad stieglitz won!! Stieglitz made both fights exciting by charging at him.
AAs got power but a still C class fighter!!

[The Hammer]

Was it a punch or a headbutt?

Even with the replay I couldn't really tell.

A punch landed as did a headbutt but I couldn't tell what did the damage.

There was no headbutt just before the eye damage.

You can see the punch at 10:50 here (cannot embed video):

Not sure Arthur wanted much more. Seemed resigned and overwhelmed.

This right here. I felt the stoppage was premature, but when Abraham didn't contest the referee's call whatsoever, I felt like he didn't have a chance against the mentality of Stieglitz at all.

I agree with resigned, but overwhelmed im not so sure. Arthur has always just stood there in his guard whenever someone threw and he could see that his opponent was loading up huge on every punch. I think he intended to weather the storm knowing you cant load up like that without punching yourself out after a few rounds. Then his eye closed faster than ive ever seen a punch close one. Weird fight.

Damn he completely disfigured my boy, props to Stieg he displayed good tactics. I don't know what's next for AA.

Did Steiglitz poke him in the eye, how did his eye close up so quick?

Yep, I had never seen anything like that. It blew up and closed like 2 seconds after he hit him.

Damn, Abraham's eye is a mess.

props to Rob....he tagged Abraham with a good right hand that damaged the eye

both dudes were supposed to wear Adidas gloves...but at the Rules Meeting Abe's weighed only 9 ounces....so after a lil' politicing, Rob was allowed to wear his usual brand which he felt was a harder glove(his words not mines)

Interesting... where'd you scoop that?

[PEBBLES!]

i figured it was a punch. but if a butt caused that injury it should've been a no contest.

the German commentator was talking about it during the telecast.....I don't know why posters who understand the german language didn't mention it because there's a few on here...I found a article about it... in german though
