Arthur Abraham put on the best performance of his career in defense of his IBF Middleweight last night in Oldenberg, Germany by crushing the efforts of Australian visitor Shannan Taylor. The tourist from Down Under lasted the distance, more a testament to his sheer toughness than an indication of his competitive abilities against Arthur. The German fighter rained down his offense on Taylor at will, forcing the former welterweight world title challenger to simply cover and wait for opportunities that mostly never came. Also on the Sauerland Promotions bill, Florida based Nigerian Henry Akinwande retained his IBF Intercontinental belt with a twelve round unanimous decision over Cisse Salif, dropping the New Yorker in the third round in the process.
