by Cliff Rold - The winner won’t be the best Super Middleweight in the world. Sometimes that’s not all that matters. After suffering three straight losses in the Super Six tournament to Andre Dirrell, Carl Froch, and Andre Ward, Arthur Abraham needed something to keep his career relevant.
Robert Stieglitz, then the WBO titlist at 168 lbs., needed something to make him stand out as more than just the belted guy who wasn’t Ward or Froch.
They found each other.
Largely unappreciated outside Germany, Abraham and Stieglitz have given each other hell three times and get together one more time. Abraham holds the edge, 2-1, winning and regaining the title in the first and third bouts and losing by stoppage in the second.
