Georges_Groves(Photo Wende) By Scott Gilfoid: WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (36-3, 28 KO’s) will be defending his title tonight against former WBO 168 lb. champion Robert Stieglitz (43-3, 28 KO’s) in a rematch at the GETEC Arena, in Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany.

God, I hope this is the last time these guys fight because I want to see Abraham fight someone that actually has the chance to beat him, and Stieglitz proved clearly that he didn’t last year in August in losing by a 12 round unanimous decision.

Arthur Abraham defends WBO 168lb title against Robert Steiglitz on Saturday; Groves also on the card

Abraham_Stieglitz_faceBy Thomas Cowan: WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham faces former champion Robert Steiglitz in an “all-German” clash. Russian-born Steiglitz held the strap for 3 years and managed to milk his title against pretty poor opponents throughout his reign because all the top super middleweights were busy with the Super Six tournament.

However, last August, his luck ran out when the WBO forced him to face Abraham, who secured a comfortable victory. Unfortunately, a rematch clause means Abraham will be making a second easy defence of his title after he already made an optional defence against mediocre Frechman Mehdi Bouadla. Unless Abraham has an awful night or Steiglitz comes out looking like a completely different fighter, I can only see Abraham winning this fight.

Abraham vs. Stieglitz 2 next Saturday night, March 23rd in Germany

Robert Stieglitz vs Arthur Abraham(Photo: Wende) By Allan Fox: WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (36-3, 28 KO’s) will be facing former WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (43-3, 24 KO’s) for the second and hopefully the last time next Saturday night on March 23rd at The GETEC Arena, in Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany.

Abraham, 33, already convincingly beat Stieglitz by a 12 round unanimous decision last year by the scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 116-112 last August, but we’re seeing a rematch because Stieglitz had a rematch clause in his contract.

Stieglitz defeats Nieroda; now faces Abraham on March 23rd

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.

What gives the 32-year-old Abraham such a good chance of winning this fight is his big power and ability to apply pressure on his opponent.
