Arthur Abraham vs. Robert Stieglitz, rematch - Saturday fight/chat thread

[IamInuit]

Have never been impressed with Abraham and have always thought of him as a 6 to 9 minute fighter. I'll never forget that first Miranda fight. It was not just the broken jaw and the fact that the ref saved his ass but the fact that he was out boxed by Edison Miranda. I thought he might have the edge with Stieglitz just because he was Calzaghes mandatory prior to Joe dropping the Ibf belt at 168.

I've never been a fan either and never got past the Smurf hat when I first saw him...but fighting on not opting out and taking flush power shots and headbutts when his jaw was literally hanging off his head vs Miranda gets bookoo repect but thats just me. That was flat gruesome

Lol hey you get out of my brain. I was going to mention that as a reference prior to Miranda. 2 funny.

Round 2 I think it was looked to be round of the year. The fight was really heating up then Abraham's eye closed and he quit. Surprised me as he fought on with a broken jaw against Miranda years ago, showing great heart.

His eye was closed shut though.

I think there should be a third fight.

Helenius continued his lil baby steps comeback after his unofficial loss to Chisora. Sprott clocked him a few good ones. Did himself proud.

Wish I'd put on that bet now. I just thought Stieglitz would win it this time. Abraham is not the same fighter at 168lb. His defence seems a little easier to break too.

I thought it was a head butt that did the damage. The punch was to the jaw (you can see by the way Art's head spun) the the head comes in just at the right angle.

Sprott is a disappointment. Never EVER tried hard enough.

There's definitely going to be a third fight, probably next. It's the biggest money option for both of them. Who wins? If Abraham's eye hadn't closed up would he have come back in that fight?
