    Hehe, perhaps the interviewer thought that Abraham only eats raw meat or the children of his opponents :!::nut

    That's while he's in training, of course.

    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!

    Do you know how many jumps in a minute that was? Just curious.

    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." :lol: 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. :lol:

    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
