Are you talking about Kessler-Stieglitz? It's ON man. In April. Stieglitz is with SES and he lives in Germany. He is russian that's true, but a german national (minority). Kessler cant even say "Ich bin ein berliner." There was nearly 10K for Kessler in the Oracle arena and Ward's drawing power certainly hasn't diminished since.
We all know a great big tournament involved the SMW big fish for the better part of the 'milking' Team Bute has done in Canada. But yeah, it's just business. They might need the revenues of such a big in house fight to finance complimentary millions for a Ward fight.
Calling it: Abrahams opponent on March 31 will be 11th ranked WBO Africa Champ Wilbeforce Shihepo(Only man to beat Chilemba in the pros). Must be the reason why he was on the undercard of Abraham - Farias.
I was thinking of his most recents fights. Heard some low numbers there, and looking around in the arena there werent many people to see either. Including the Super Six Final (Which, granted, wasnt in Oakland I know) But a big fight there should have been much interest for. But alas, they could not even fill one of the small arenas in the Boardwalk Hall.
Wtf are you talking about? The fight was announced months ago. First for November 5th, then Kessler godt injured and then on November 16th it got announced for April 14th instead.
Yeah, I've read the news, and seen the scheduled date, but rumors are still abounding that Kessler will not be ready for that date, and Abraham will replace him, leaving Kessler open for a July date with Ward. Not saying any of this is fact, but until I see them at a weigh in or a PC, I'm still under the belief that it's off.:hey
Yes, I know those rumours, but that does not change the fact that the fight is announced as on.

Yeah, the fight has not been signed and definetly dont have a date atsch Fight is on until injuries(again) or other things happens. I suppose you dont believe that Vitali and Chisora have not been announced or signed either. And have no date or television. Who say the Ward fight would have to be in July? That would likely be later of course if Kessler - Stieglitz fights. Ward also got a mando to clear first anyway, unless he holds out for the WBO-situation to be situated or reaches an agreement with Bute. Btw: How is it going with that Vitali article? Found it yet? Think not.
If a MW champion with 9 defenses is a bum, what does that make Lucian Bute's oponents? Old garbagemen who where bums in their prime?
Everything stays in the house ( Sauerland's), Stieglitz, Kessler and now Abraham. Since they cannot fly anywethere else...
Abraham is a warrior T.D. He has fought all the best and that is what matters. :good He did better against A.Ward than Kessler and did not quit on his stool either when going got tough.:rofl he is a fukin warrior bad ass who fought is Jaw smashed in million pieces agaisnt Miranda.:bbb
Hell yeah man ! :thumbsup Who the **** has done that recently ? Not many bro, not many ... What makes me smile is that everytime there is a thread about AA, that ****** PunchingFag feels obliged to bring his ass to tell us "AA a bum and he done". Nothing less, nothing more. Same for that joke ***run.
They germans.. Have you not noticed when fighter fighting german stable loses and lose his "aura" and some credibility as top Fighter they tend to forget them and start to **** on them. These guys Abraham etc they are German Fighters as long they keep winning but when things not going the way krauts planned and wanted with these warriors they become Armenians, russians, africans etc.atsch Germans does not know **** ABOUT Being real boxing fan.:deal
