[JakeNDaBox]

Opinions remain as divided as the 50/50 perception surrounding the upcoming super middleweight title clash between nine lives champ Arthur Abraham and hard-luck contender Martin Murray.

Saturday’s super middleweight title fight takes place at TUI Arena in Hannover, Germany. The bout airs live on SAT.1 in Germany, on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and has been recently added to a special Saturday afternoon edition of boxing coverage on A Wealth of Entertainment (AWE TV) in the United States.

Bivins is a bscene staff now? All down hill....


I like Rold's pred. Abraham gases quickly and throws wide. Murray's going to be pushing him around and busting him up late in the fight.

abraham by ko in brutal fashion around round 9. Overhand right then a barrage to finish it off.

[The Conundrum]

Murray will win a decision, 116-112 type of fight. Let's just hope we don't see a robbery on German soil...

This could be a competitive fight so I understand the close split in the picks. The question that I ask myself about this matchup is how much does Abraham have left?

In Germany robbery is to be expected.

if lil g can ko murray then how fast is abraham going to ko him? i think in round 1

Abraham has looked like an old man for years now. Still has an iron chin though. I have seen some unbelievable scoring in Germany so if he just doesn't fall over and throws his usual ineffective flurry at the end of each round he'll win on the cards.

I remember seeing Marco Hook against a southpaw (don't recall who) years ago. He looked terrified, barely threw and did not land even one square shot on his occasional flailing effort. He was out landed 10 to 1. Still won the fight. Worst robbery I ever saw.

If Murray fights to his optimum potential and Abraham is a bit off or shows signs of shop wear then Murray takes it.

Was Abraham talking b*llocks when he said he wants to unify the SMWs? I think he was.

Whoever said if it was in a neutral location _____ is spot on.
