    He's in Detroit. He'll probably get robbed before the fight starts. Maybe more than once. He better make sure he doesn't carry his wallet on him.

    His trainer was also training Marco Huck, who just had a title fight in Germany, so he had to go back to Germany for that once the fight was postponed.

    The biggest problem is Arthur adjustlng to a different time zone for the 3rd time this camp. One week should be enough normally, but he twice messed up his body rhythm because of the postponement, he trained in California for weeks, then returned to Berlin for two, and now finishes camp in Detroit. Of course some are immune to jetlag, but I guess we'll have to wait until Saturday for AA's case. But hey, it was their decision to return (because of Huck).

    Abraham's latest video blog:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PMMn1_NxUE&feature=player_embedded[/ame]

    "A very big arena, I'm happy to be standing in front of it. I'm getting a bit excited now, seeing the arena reminds me this is where I'll have to box."

    "Joe Louis is a legend the world over. It is a special arena and a great honor for me to fight here."

    "I want to fight in a stadium in the future, regardless if it's in America or Germany."

    Abraham's coach Ulli Wegner, who at first had a major problem with the postponement, thinks differently now:
    "When we were training in Palm Springs Arthur had a good deal of trouble hitting form. That was because he could not come to rest. All the visits from his friends who lived there distracted him. But as soon as we got back to Kienbaum (Sauerland's training camp near Berlin) he began to focus on the task at hand again. The isolation of Kienbaum really helped him come to rest and boost his performance."

    Thanks for the video and translation bro. It was at Joe Louis Arena on the river front. That boat was the Princess it has Party cruises during the summer months. Behind him across the water was Canada( city of Windsor). You could see Ceasars Windsor Casino in the Background. He was also in foxtown at Comerica Park where the Detroit Tigers play which is across the street from the famous Fox Theatre. Keep the videos coming bro!!!!
