Fights like this are ruining boxing and the WBO should strip Abraham of his title which I know they won't. It has really wound me up!!!!
when I think of Boudla all I think of is his mismatch KO against Kessler can't see this being a riveting back and forth battle
Relax, it's his first defence after capturing it... when he pulls a Cleverly and has a next defence like this (and the next, and the next), then it's time to complain.
To be fair, Abraham already faced Miranda 2x, Ghevor, Dirrel, Froch, Ward and Stieglitz in his career so accusing him of ducking major players is nonsense. He's probably just being more cautious with his opposition at 168 because he realized his power is not the same at SMW and basically any decent boxer with good movement has a realistic shot at outpointing him.
I know, it's especially annoying when these German champions have a hard earned reputation as face-all-comers, road warrior types, who never duck anyone and travel to face the best.
Exactly what I was thinking. They're as bad as the promoters for sanctioning these defences.It's a ridiculous fight for a World title
