Stieglitz, having suffered damage around both eyes, had trouble seeing for most of the second half of the fight, yet still turned in a performance he could be proud of. The fight was close and competitive, with steady action throughout.

Stieglitz, also from Germany, even went to Abraham's home city of Berlin for the match.īut Abraham's stock had fallen so far after the Super Six that his promoter, Sauerland Event, dubbed the fight with Stieglitz as 'The Last Chance.' It was Abraham's, and he knew it.įighting in front of a crowd of more than 14,000 at the O2 World Arena, Abraham and Stieglitz put on a heckuva show.

Yet because Abraham is a popular figure in Germany, he landed a world title shot against Robert Stieglitz last August. Then Abraham lost lopsided decisions in world title bouts against finalist Carl Froch and tournament winner Andre Ward.Īlthough Abraham bounced back from those forgettable Super Six performances to win back-to-back bouts in 2012, he didn't look very good in either one, both of which came against pedestrian opponents, Pablo Natalio Farias and Piotr Wilczewski. Not only did he lose his three remaining tournament fights, he lost them decisively.Ībraham, a former longtime middleweight titleholder who moved up in weight to be part of the Super Six, was easily outboxed and dropped by Andre Dirrell before being disqualified in the 11th round for hitting Dirrell while he was on the mat after slipping. Super middleweight titlist Arthur Abraham has come a long way since his disastrous run in the Super Six World Boxing Classic, and he hopes to keep his recent momentum going.Ībraham was one of the top two favorites (along with Mikkel Kessler) to win the six-man tournament that ran from 2009 to 2011, and he opened with a booming 12th-round knockout of Jermain Taylor.
