PK_IMG_82_August2012_Steinforth_Stieglitz_Abraham_KSauerland(Photo credit: Team Sauerland) By Allan Fox: Former WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (43-3, 24 KO’s) got an easy 3rd round TKO victory last Saturday night over the inexperienced 22-year-old Michal Nieroda (10-3, 5 KO’s) in a tune-up bout at the Bon Pastor, Barcelona, Cataluña, Spain. The fight was halted at 1:45 of the 3rd round to give the 31-year-old Stieglitz the victory.

Stieglitz, #12 WBO, #12 IBF, will now be given a rematch against WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (36-3, 28 KO’s) on March 23rd at the Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany. Hopefully, this is the last of the fights between Abraham and Stieglitz because this rematch is hardly necessary due to Abraham soundly beating Stieglitz by a 12 round unanimous decision last August by the scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 116-112.
