Arthur Abraham V robin Krasniqi

Is on tonight/this afternoon. PPV in canada for 25 canadian quids... well could be worse, i have paid up for it, Abraham is great fun to watch for one minute of each round when he is matched up against guys who are not great, like Krasniqi.

Undefeated(1draw) Adam Deines just stopped previously undefeated Lukasz Golebiewski(copy and paste for that name :S), corner threw in the towel in the 3rd round after he was knocked down for the 2nd time, pretty easy win for deines who looks ok.

BoxRec - event

tom schwarz is also on the undercard, I am interested in seeing if he is any good, 22 years old undefeated and 197 cm tall.

Mohammed Rabbi is the other fight they are showing, seems he one bronze at the 2016 olympics at 23 year old from morroco

It is not on over here i think

The bosnian fellow fighting schwarz is coming out to eye of the tiger, he's definently going to win.

you might be in luck then :S... well to be fair it does seem a pretty well matched card just nobody really great on it.

Tom Schwarz is on now, he seems ok, he took a pretty big left hook in the first round that troubled him though :S, teh bosnian chap is pretty competent for a 40 year old with under 20 fights and mostly fought in yugoslavia.

I am watching a better between Williams v smyle

oh nice, schwarz lands a really good right hook on him and puts him down, then right away another puts the bosnian fellow down and out... Good work from schwarz but he still has a long way to go before he should think about taking guys around the world title level.

Mohammed Rabbi V the Belgian Rwandan fellow who I have forgotten the name of, Rabbi is olympic bronze medalist and 2015 amateur world champion, the belgian chap is not, Rabbis 2nd pro fight and I think the belgian african fellow record is like 6 w 8 l or something similar.

oh my, the african fellow is coming out and he is a halfling i think... if he loses here hopefully he can still carry the ring to mordor :S

Rabbi looks fairly handy, did some googling and it seems habimana has doen kickboxing and muay thai and stuff with a fairly equal number of wins and losses, seems like a tough little fellow too, good choice for rabiis 2nd pro fight.. Habimana looks like he might be related to wilder though he has some great windmill swings , if rabbii sleeps they could put him out.. Rabbii is handling him well though over the first two rounds, I think Rabbii has some good potential.

MOHAMMED RABII - 69 KG - AIBA

seems he was pretty good in the world series of boxing too, voted fighter of the year one year.

I feel old he was born 1993

Rabbii is getting frustrated against the little fellow, looks like a good learning experience for him, habimana is wild, short and moving up in weight but he is tough and has a lot of energy.. Rabbii is getting low with his body punches and is pushing, lucky the ref hasnt taken some points from him.

yes he is certainly the guy the promoters like, he hasnt done anything too bad(just body flurries that ended up going low) and the ref warned him twice for the low blows and the push, I suspect that Habimana would have had a point taken off if it was the other way round.

into the 5th round, I thnk rabbi has won all the rounds but not by a huge margin.

Oh nice good round for habimana he certainly won that round, Rabbii is struggling to keep him off him now and habimana keeps going. I think rabbi is very frustrated and is trying to hard to land big punches now.

last round coming up i have 4-1 to rabbi but momentum is with habimana.

Sounds like an upset could happen?

well a small chance, I think rabbi built up a good lead, another two warnings for blatant pushes, i think he should have had a point off there.. fight over.. I think 4-2 in rabbis favour, habimana kept coming and rabbii really faded as it went on. I think he has potential but he has a lot of learning to do. that was his 2nd pro fight against a guy who is very rough and tough, that is not easy for amateur stars to come up against.

Rabbii won 58-56 on all cards I think, although I only heard him read one score card, I assume they were all the same though.. Fair cards I think, although i would have taken a point off for the pushing to make it 57-56.. Good fight, habimana can be proud of himself and I am sure Rabbii learned a lot from that and sill now know better what aspects he has to imporve, a good choice of opponent for his 2nd pro fight..

main event is next.

Just checked Krasniqi record and he lost 2 of his first 3 the went on a winning run and lost to Cleverly and Braehmer. So he has good form.

That's true and he is over 6 feet tall and abraham always struggles against tall fighters, his loss to braemhmer and cleverly were at lightheavyweight too so maybe that is good for him.

I do like abraham though, ever since he was middleweight champion, he does bugger all for 2 minutes a round but when he does come to life he can be devastating, his power isnt as amazing as it was at middleweight but matched up with the right guy I think he makes for a good watch... Well at least I find it interesting the opposition being busier and racking up points and then abraham coming back with his hard shots. I can see why people would hate watching him though.

I hate AA for those very reasons he does nothing in his crab defence but strong as an ox.

Yes that's fair enough, he is certainly pretty odd, I think it is great when he finally does come to life and unleash his power, he was way more fun to watch at middleweight but I still like to watch him now against the right opponents, he is pretty useless against the top supermiddle weights but v fringe conteders I will watch for sure.

I did think AA was finished when Robert Stieglitz stopped him but he keeps on you going

I have sticked this thread although it is only you that is watching it.

I will keep the post count up :S

dont worry @Freedom will post some youtube videos later, well of tom schwarz certainly, maybe in the heavyweight thread though...


krasniqi looks like thomas muller the german footballer.


really long break between the last fight and the main event... odd because I think they have a few other filler fights they havent used yet. Maybe they just arent showing them in canada.

he was a bit unfortunate with teh stoppage there, he wasnt hurt he was just doing his usually do bugger all for 2/3s of the fight and come alive later, steiglitz was on form that night though and abrahams eye totally closed up early on and that is why the ref stopped it, he came back well in the hundred remtaches he had with steiglitz after but I do think abraham has been pretty much finished since he moved up to super middleweight, he just isnt tall enough for his style to work and his power doesnt have the same effect it did at middleweight, he can still beat some contenders though but I dont see him winning a world title again unless there are some really odd circumstances or one of the belts go vacant and he is allowed to take on a donkey.

aha main event coming up now

Pretty even first round, normal abrahama, blocked everything landed a few hard jabs but I think Krasniqi did more in the first round so 10-9 krasniqi for me.

Good! I want him to win.

Normal Abraham again, but I think he won the 2nd round, Krasniqi didnt seem as comfortable there, I think he felt abrahams power and his seems to be just getting away from him rather than controlling the ring like in the first round. abraham wins that round 10-9

19-19

So does the crowd.

3rd round for krasniqi i think, although abraham is coming into it, krasniqi is using a lot of energy springing around, abraham looks as comfortbale as usual :S


29-28 for krasniqi for me

was distracted for the 4th round, people came home and started yapping :S I think krasniqi won it though but i could be well off

39-37 for krasniqi

abraham catches up to him in the 5th, puts him on wobbly legs but krasniqi has survived and come back well.. a minute left

AA will finish him

5th round for abraham, he won it quite well and did some damage there, krasniqi still seems edgy.

48-47 for krasniqi

krasniqi survived well and is back to normal but he is using up a lot of energy whilst abraham isnt.

Another good round for abraham, he looks way calmer and is starting to control the ring even though krasniqi is moving more and quicker.

57-57 I think


abraham in danger of point deduction for rabbit punches.

abraham is dropping his hands and taunting him, starting to club through krasniqis guard too, krasniqi seems to have lost confidence.

Abraham wins another round, he isnt landing so many clean but he is clubbing through krasniqis guard and hurting him and krasniqis output has dropped a lot, I think he used up too much energy early on, maybe he can come back into it. Abraham is pretty professional .

67-66 for abraham now

May go to cards now?

Thanks man, I'm following this while watching Fielding/ Ryder.
