Abraham wants to grab his chance with both hands

[The_budweiser]

Tension is in the air ahead of the big super-middleweight world championship fight between Robert Stieglitz (42-2, 23 KOs) and Arthur Abraham (34-3, 27 KOs) this Saturday at the o2 World Berlin, Germany. At today's press conference both fighters were in good spirits. Current WBO Champion Robert Stieglitz was seemingly calm and said: "I feel great and I am going to defend my title. My preparations have been going extremely well." Arthur Abraham was quite relaxed himself. "We don't talk a lot beforehand. Actions speak louder than words and I am going to answer all questions inside the ring."

It's all or nothing for Arthur Abraham, at his age the process for rebuilding from yet another loss wouldn't be a quick one and I think he'd probably just hang up the gloves. For Steiglitz, it's his ticket into the big time and not just fooling around with his WBO belt.

I think its a 50/50 fight, Abraham has slowed down and does look less powerful than he did. He could seriously learn from Marco Huck, has a similar style but Huck uses it so well.

Whilst being a pretty "meh" fight in the sense of what the average an may think, the implications are rather large. A win for Abraham allows him to hunt redemption, become a 2-weight world champion and have some sort of power in terms of big fights, a win for Stieglitz announces him somewhat on the world stage and allows him to make a claim for the bigger fights himself.

It's a curious and well balanced match. I have a feeling Abrahams will come out on top.
