Comments Thread For: Abraham Drops, Decision Stieglitz To Reclaim His Title

But what power. Those jabs were knocking Stieglitz back. He utilized it this fight, but if only he jabs more he'd be a much better fighter. Keeping his opponents off him while hurting them, and maintaining distance for those hooks to connect.

Exactly. I've noticed for years that he never jabs enough. And when he does, look what happens.

I guarantee you that if Chavez Jr. wins tonight, that will be the next fight Chavez and his people will seek.

Only if they can get it in the US, which might be doubtful.

Completely disagree with the author. Stieglitz tried to bully AA to cause the same eye to get swollen again but nothing worked as he was barely landing clean shots. While AA used the ring with the nice footwork, countering well, jabbing and landing clean, accurate, and powerful shots.
You described the fight as you were justifying the embarrassing one of the judges scorecards.

It clearly says in the report that we scored it 114-111 for Abraham.

Was holding my breath for the robbery there! The judge who scored it for Steiglitz needs to be thinned out !

AA was awesome tonight.

I posted this comment when the article was first released not after the revised version. However I still think 114:111 for Abraham is a bit off. Even a British commentator scored it with the difference of 6 giving Stieglitz only 3 rounds.

I wasn't able to watch the second half of the fight but I'm so happy for Arthur Abraham, the king. He can retire happily or take on another foe for a last big pay day.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Ugggghhhghg I forgot about this fight. Good day of fights today, I completely forgot it was also tonight! Damn me..

Nonetheless, the King has returned!!

If Abraham doesn't fight Chavez jr next he may fight James Degale
Was Steglitz-Abraham a mandatory defense for Robert and if it wasn't a mandatory when will AA have to make a mandatory defense of his WBO title.
