Hehe, perhaps the interviewer thought that Abraham only eats raw meat or the children of his opponents :!::nut
Very good article, thanks Finn73, is it possible for you to translate it all? Or someone else who is German, the boxing fans will appreciate it. I would translate it but unfortunately I have no time to do it, I read it in German, the whole interview is awesome!
wonder why aa's brother turn out to be such a ***** when aa comes off pretty cool. must be inferiority complex.
10 km in under 40 minutes sounds very solid to me. Is this a time you have to expect from a proffessional fighter? Does he have to run it all the time during a running session or just when he has to go all out?
Yeah, I think I can translate the missing paragraphs as well. Maybe I have time tomorrow, but I can't promise.
That wasn't my point. My question is what will happen if Abraham is behind on the cards, let's say in the 10th round, without the chance to win a UD/SD. We haven't seen such a situation yet. What will happen if Wegner says to him that he has to KO his opponent to win the fight? I think in this case he would risk more than he usually does. He would unleash hell over his opponent.
For those looking for the whole interview: I used google translate, and it's quite enjoyable: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=hu&ie=UTF-8&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.tagesspiegel.de/zeitung/Sonntag-Arthur-Abraham-Sonntag%3Bart2566,2979076&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhg3hMwzJpVEheWWnQ0xTH4B7Zr-TA This part was probably the best I've ever heard from King Arthur. I had to work on it a bit. Bertolt Brecht liked boxing, but he wrote: "Competitive sport begins where healthy sport ends." AA: He was right. It's unavoidable. Golfers suffer from the back, tennis players from the shoulder, soccer players from the knees. With that said, I am doing quite well. Look at my hands and ankles, spotless like a piano player. Right. Only two titanium plates and 22 screws in your jaw... AA: It doesn't bother me. So I was in the locker room after the fight, and they said: "Lie down here to me". I did as someone came there with a syringe. I asked "What are you doing"? "Nothing, nothing, nothing." And then I slowly fell asleep, but in the ambulance I heard my fans shouting "Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!" I woke up in the hospital the next. "What happened?" I was wondering. "They operated on you", they answered. Everyone was sad, my manager, my coach, my dad, all very sad. They were down more than I was, so I encouraged them: "Hey guys, whats up with you? Be happy! It'd only be bad if I had my jaw broken AND lost to this ******. I'm the Champion!" :happy Come on, even Booradley's heart has to respond.
I added some translated paragraphs to my initial post. However, I didn't translate the complete interview...not enough time. @Bone: Thanks for your translation.
Arthur has two more fights to win before I have to jump on the band wagon. However, I have been practicing up by making the occassional positive comment.:tong
