WBO orders Abraham to face Stieglitz again

by

Stieglitz_Abraham_V6P1926By Scott Gilfoid: The World Boxing Organization is doing WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham a huge favorite by ordering him to face #1 WBO Robert Stieglitz within the next 90 days rather than having Abraham take on an arguably tougher contender like Gilberto Ramirez.

Abraham has already fought Stieglitz three times in back and forth fights that took place in Germany. By the WBO ordering yet another fight between Abraham and Stieglitz, they really did them both a big favor, because if Abraham has to defend his title against one of the younger contenders with talent, he’ll likely lose.

Abraham-Stieglitz tomorrow in Germany

by

By Allan Fox: Tomorrow night two German based fighters will go at it with Arthur Abraham (38-4, 28 KOs) meeting up with the WBO 168 lb title holder Robert Stieglitz (46-3, 26 KO’s) in a fight in Germany. These are two solid problems. Neither of them of them are considered among the top fighters of the division by fans, but they’re still decent quality fighters. Abraham has a huge incentive to win because of how badly he was beaten last year by Stieglitz in their 2nd fight.

Stieglitz faces Abraham this Saturday in rematch in Magdeburg, Germany

by

By Allan Fox: WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (46-3, 26 KO’s) and Arthur Abraham (38-4, 28 KO’s) will be meeting up for the third and hopefully the final time this Saturday night at the GETEC Arena, Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany. The two German based fighters have worked it out to where they’ve been able to keep facing each other with repeated rematches by taking weak opponents in between their fights. Stieglitz would have lost his WBO title long ago had he been forced to fight his No.1 challenger George Groves instead of the little known challengers Yuzo Kiyota and Isaac Ekpo.

by

abraham5By Allan Fox: WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (46-3, 26 KO’s) will be meeting up with his constant foe Arthur Abraham (38-4, 28 KO’s) in a third fight on March 3rd at the Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany.

The two German based fighters have already fought twice in the past the last year, but without the World Boxing Organization forcing Abraham and Stieglitz to fight tough opposition after their defeats, they keep facing each other. Stieglitz lost his WBO 168 lb. title last year in a 12 round decision defeat to Abraham in August of 2012.

Robert Stieglitz vs. Isaac Ekpo this Saturday in Germany

by

stieglitz32234By Allan Fox: WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (45-3, 26 KO’s) defends his title this Saturday night against #7 WBO Isaac Ekpo (22-1, 16 KO’s) at the Messehalle, Leipzig, Sachsen, Germany. Stieglitz only has to get by Ekpo and he’ll then be able to face Arthur Abraham for the 3rd time in the past 5 fights.

Stieglitz lost to Abraham by a 12 round unanimous decision last year in August. After both fighters defeated little known opponents, they met again last March with Stieglitz stopping Abraham in the 4th round. Stieglitz has since defended the WBO title against fringe contender Yuzo Kiyota, and Saturday he’ll be defending it against Ekpo.

by

By Allan Fox: WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (45-3, 26 KO’s) will be playing it safe again in another optional title defense against little known contender Isaac Ekpo (22-1, 16 KO’s) next month on October 19th at the Messehalle, Leipzig, Sachsen, Germany. Stieglitz doesn’t seem interested in taking any chances with his WBO 168 title by facing a real threat until he absolutely has to.

WBO makes Arthur Abraham mandatory challenger to Stieglitz

by

abraham434By Allan Fox: Former two division world champion Arthur Abraham’s controversial 12 round unanimous decision over Willbeforce Shihepo this month has earned Abraham the mandatory spot to have WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (45-3m 26 KO’s), according to Kalle Sauerland.

This will be the third fight between them, and it’s surprising that the World Boxing Organization isn’t going to force Stieglitz to face #1 WBO George Groves instead of letting #4 WBO, Abraham leap-frog over Groves, as well as #2 WBO, Lucian Bute, and #3 WBO James DeGale.

Abraham could wind up as Stieglitz’s mandatory if he beats Shihepo

by

abraham434By Scott Gilfoid: Arthur Ahraham (36-4, 28 KO’s), ranked #4 by the World Boxing Organization, could find himself back in the mandatory spot for WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz if Abraham can get by his next opponent #7 WBO, Willbeforce Shihepo (20-6, 15 KO’s) in their fight on August 24th at the Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

Fightnews is reporting that Abraham could land a third fight against Stieglitz if he beats the always tough Shihepo. For this to happen #1 WBO mandatory challenger George Groves will have to bypass his title shot against Stieglitz, which as of now seems likely to happen due to the talk of Groves facing IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch in November.
