[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Arthur Abraham (39-4, 28 KOs) regained the WBO Super Middleweight title with a split decision victory over Robert Stieglitz (46-4, 26 KOs) tonight in Magdeburg.

Abraham looked close to forcing the stoppage, dropping the defending champion in the final round. However Stieglitz was able to hold on and take the fight to the judges’ scorecards.

The judges scored the fight 114-111, 115-110, and 112-113 in favor of ‘’The King’’, who avenged the loss he suffered to Stieglitz last year and became a world champion for a third time.

Fast turn around means cherry pick.. I think he will milk the title for one or 2 defenses, then look to cash out vs Kessler, Chavez, froch, or even ggg

I wonder if bute can still make 168? glen Johnson maybe even at 45 or whatever he is?

When will he be due to make a mandatory defense

[umop-ap!sdn]

a few tasty options for Abraham at this point. Id like to see him and Froch battle it out, as they alluded each other in the SUper Six tourney.

December at the earliest because last night's fight was a mandatory defense.

Why??? That's a fight I never want to see again. You do know they "fought" in November 2010 before, don't you?
