It ALL reality, Steiglitz should box Abe's ears off. Build up a large lead and then look to survive from about the 9th on.

However, there seems to be a movement to MAKE Abraham a SMW titlist. IDK WTF those jackasses are doing, essentially trying to hand him a title when one of their own actually earned it, but it seems that if Steiglitz is to win this it will be by draw.
He builds up an 8-0 lead, then outlands but is defensive minded in the final 4, and somehow Abe will get a draw.

You aren't seeing the stoppage then, chi?

I don't think the world of Abraham as some monster at 168, by any means - but he can still punch, Stieglitz is far from invincible, has never been all that difficult to find, and is in his thirties with plenty of rounds logged and legs beginning to slow.

I mean, it isn't overrating Abraham as a super middleweight puncher to say he's at least equal to the task of doing what Andrade and Berrio did, is it?

As far as rounds, though, however many there are (up to the full 12), yeah Stieglitz should comfortably outwork & outbox him and be well ahead on the cards.

Watch their most recent outings, you mean?

Other than giving you an impression of their overall current form, I'm not sure the likes of Weber and Hamdan will tell us much about how Stieglitz will do against Abraham - nor will the likes of Pokemon or Wilk tell us much about how Abraham will do against Stieglitz.

haven't seen much of robert.... how's his workrate and defense? Also how's his popularity compare to AA in Germany? Last time I checked they act like AA is God in Germany and can win a round by throwing 10 punches a round Since Robert is from Germany too maybe AA have to throw 15 punches a round

Excellent and mediocre, respectively.

His chin and power are both exactly average. Speed, too.

I see Rob got KO by andrade and Berrio on box rec is alarming but then again that was long ago and AA's workrate is no where near Andrade. So far from the only obvious result i can X out is Rob by Ko due to AA excellent defense.
